Motorcycle LED Light Buying Guide
Do you find that the lights on your motorcycle aren’t bright enough or flashy enough? Lighting is an essential part of any bike as it helps you to see the way ahead when it’s dark outside. Your lights also help you, the rider, to be seen so that motorists don’t slam into your motorcycle. But the standard-issue lights on your bike may just not be doing the trick, or they burn out too quickly. This is where modern LED lights come in handy.
Crossroad Powersports in Upper Darby is your Pennsylvania motorcycle dealer, serving Philly and Wilmington, Delaware. Here’s some more information on LED lights and how to outfit your motorcycle with them.
Why Buy LED Lights?
LED lights are much brighter than standard halogen or incandescent bulbs, thanks to their unique technology. This additional brightness is extremely helpful in keeping you safe on the road. An LED light can cast a longer beam that shows you more of what’s ahead of you, allowing you to stop sooner to avoid hitting an obstacle. Signs and highway markers will also be easier to read.
Another great reason to invest in LED lights is that they’re more efficient and last much longer. WHile they cost a little more up-front, LED lights are actually really cost-effective in the long run, helping you save money and time by not having to replace burnt-out bulbs so often. LED lights are also lighter in weight and don’t use up as much of your motorcycle’s battery power.
What Types of LED Lights Are There?
LED lights come in many different options to ensure that there’s something for every type of bike, no matter the model or manufacturer. Many riders like to replace the headlamp on their bikes with an LED light in particular, since this big light should be as bright and bold as possible to help ensure that riders can see and be seen at night and in dim or foggy riding conditions. Some LED headlamps come with a low-beam option in addition to high-beam so that you don’t blind oncoming motorists.
Turn signals and running lamps are other types of LED lights you can get to make these lights stand out a bit more. And if you want to add some more decorative lights, you can opt for colored LED lights that make your motorcycle really stand out. There are saddlebag lights to help you see inside your saddlebags, too. Some riders even like to light up their bike’s speakers or the whole outline of the bike!
