SELECTING HIGH POWER BULBS:
If you elect to replace your original tail or brake light bulb with a brighter
bulb, there are a few things to consider:
„ POWER CONSUMPTION:
Motorcycles do not have large capacity batteries or heavy duty charging
systems.
„ HEAT GENERATION:
High heat can damage plastic taillight housings or melt the wiring and
sockets designed to handle lower temperatures.
„ BEAM PATTERN:
Different bulbs have different beam patterns. Some have a shallow
viewing angle, while others have wide horizontal spread.
WATTAGE vs. CANDLEPOWER:
Higher wattage means higher heat generation – but not necessarily
brighter bulb. Compare the candlepower (or lumen) output before you
purchase a replacement.
Depending on the metal used for the filament, how it is wound, type of gas
used to fill the bulb, and finally the type of reflector used to shape the light
beam – results in various brightness outputs.
Beware of Wattage rating shown for 12 volts. The operating voltage for
most motorcycles is 13.5 to 14.5 volts.
BUY A NAME BRAND BULB WITH A STATED LIGHT OUTPUT
