Message: <blockquote data-quote="Twigg" data-source="post: 1206257" data-attributes="member: 27619">The arrangement of those lights will be, when the final wiring is complete, as follows:The LR5s (lower lights) will come on 100% with the High Beams.The LD35s (20 degree spots) will come on 100% High Beams and 10% Low Beams. A Skene Dimmer is required for that and I don't have one yet.Both sets of aux. lights will have their own isolating switch near the throttle grip.The result is a total of around 20000 lumens on High Beam, and stock Low Beam with lights for conspicuity. I plan on saving 80 watts of power by switching out the OEM bulbs for LED.Currently the power consumption of the additional lights is around 140W. They drop the voltage across the battery from 14.4V to 13.9V, so I do need to find some savings.It might seem overkill to some. Their effect for me is to completely remove the anxiety about night-riding. While one still needs to exercise care in deer-infested areas, simply riding in the dark is no longer an issue. Any road, dirt or highway, it doesn't matter I can see where I am going.</blockquote>
