Thought I would try out these in my spotlamps.
H3 fitting LED x 26 3w replacements. The idea was to lower the electrical load on the bike.
I do not have a Triumph light bar and lamps, but I know a man who does, so I will cover that later. I have a homebrew light bar with Wipac lamps.
The LEDs arrived and I was not sure they would fit but for £5 took a chance.
The length of the LED lamps from the H3 mounting plate is 35mm, a standard H3 was 30mm, but they did fit in my Wipac lamps. Temporary hook up.
Before removing the Standard H3 lamps I measured the current they take, engine is off.
8.57 Amps, quite a load.
Fitting was straight forward and on turn on the current was down to this.
0.16 A thats quite a drop
But are the any good? well its hard to take pictures of lamps, well for me anyway, but here they are.
A bit further away.
And further again.
They dont seem to put out as much light when shined against the garage door, but looking at them they are quite bright, brighter than I thought they would be anyway. I have the spot lamps on the bike to be seen by others, not for me to see with. "Gentlemen dont go driving in the dark" was that Joseph Lucas?
Back to my friend with the offical Triumph lightbar.
Triumph lamp with LED lamp.
And finaly we have for comparison, LHS as you look at it is LED, RHS is standard.
Thanks Harry.
I think its a good saving on electrical load on the bikes battery and charging system.
