I am not affiliated with Clearwater Lights, but was over at the shop yesterday and talked with Glenn about a FJR group buy. Well, he was all for offering an exclusive deal to the FJR and ST1300 riders. The group buy will save you at least $100 on Glenda and $125 on Krista. Higher discounts will be provided if more than 20 sets are sold.
No question these lights are premium priced, but the build quality using U.S.A. sourced castings, high power LEDs and well conceived controls, including dimming and instant-on bright with high beam and horn put these in a class by themselves. I really felt I got a lot of value out of my Kristas during the recent 7500 mile vacation trip. I especially appreciated them going up Mesa Verde National Park road after 11:00 PM in the dark. The wide beam path makes negotiating hairpin turns and sharp curves easy, and the beam throw is far enough on straight-aways to spot deer threatening to cross the road.
The lights greatly increase visibility and noticeably reduce incidents where vehicles pull out or turn in front of you. The Kristas just cannot be ignored and a number of police departments are now outfitting motorcycles with these as take-down lights. A Folsom police bike was in the shop yesterday. The lights equipped with the MEM-1 circuits are fully dimmable and go to full-brightness with the high beam or by activating the horn. The control board controls both the Glenda and Krista lights if you have both.
The group buy will run until the end of September. It has been several years since the last group buy and I think this may be the first time Kristas have been offered at forum group-buy discount.

The big sister to Glenda boasts up to 5x more light with a longer reaching pattern.
By using custom and proprietary digital control circuits, these lights can produce up to 180 watts of Halogen light while only using 36 watts of power. A total of three 12 watt LEDs are used in each of the lights. The housings are made from solid aluminum billet right here in the USA and are hard anodized and then powder coated for corrosion protection. Exacting assembly and quality control sets this light apart from any other light available. Using aircraft grade, silver plated wire with Teflon insulation, these lights are made to last. Tough acrylic lens covers are easily replaceable and optional Amber lenses are available.
As with all Clearwater lights, Krista is fully dimmable and can switch from a LOW beam to a HIGH beam with a flick of the factory high beam switch. The LOW setting is fully dimmable via a digital volume control. This volume knob is used to adjust the level of light you desire with Low beams. On the lowest setting, a pair of Kristas only use 4 watts of power. At a half way setting a pair of Kristas only use 16 watts of power. And, on full 100% power, they use 70 watts of power, combined.
