hi everyone,
if one installed a 50W / lamp miniLED kit similar in size to H7 halogen and with passive dissipation, could the Canbus error and resistor installation be avoided? possible other issues?
I found those on Aliexpress

waiting for you comments,

Electrically, either will work without error, I’d say - close enough to 55W to not trigger an error, so no resistor required.

Beam pattern is always an issue given the LEDs don’t exactly match the halogen filament dimensions. 6000k light temperature is very white (verging on blueish) which doesn’t suit everyone’s eyes. Without a heat sink, I wonder how much heat they’ll generate and how this will affect the reflector.

Not worth messing with that IMO. The light pattern would be all wrong anyway. Plus you'd be adding a ton of heat where it wasn't designed to be (inside the plastic housing, full of wires, rather than inside the bulb housing). I just put coated bulbs for a whiter light (to more or less match the middle LEDs), and called it a day. But if you need to ride at night, I'd probably leave it stock, as the coating reduces output, as expected. Good luck.

would that mean adding more heat than (super-)halogen like Philips diamond, in your opinion?

Read my post man. Heat inside where the bulb sits, is obviously fine. But probably not outside of it, where the wiring/connector is. But do whatever the hell you want.

with or without your elegance, of course I will.

 

[43220]

Well, you took an 'un-elegant' jab at me first, and without reason or provocation, so what did you expect? I'm ignoring you, by the way, so won't see anything you post anymore. It's clear we're not going to get along. Have a nice life.

 

[sperelli]

look, u completely misunderstood my post or probably confusing me with someone else! 😉 no probs once again with or without. bye

I wouldn’t be so certain about the reflector being impervious to excess heat.

And by the way, we prefer things to be cordial around here, @ElpTXjc, choosing our words carefully to avoid upping the ante.

 

[sperelli]

Thank you @Panzermann.
My thoughts were probably not clear, but I am still not getting where I have been rude.
However, my "noob" idea is simple.
Halogen lamps like Philips Diamond/Xtreme Vision are working fine. They for sure produce inside the bulb housing (and for heat conduction possibly inside the plastic housing) much more heat than standard ones. Can a 50W Led with passive dissipation produce even more heat, and therefore be more dangerous than super-halogen?
Any contribution is welcome.
Ciao

Ok everyone, who’s going to be the first one to try this out?

Forgive me if it’s already been covered. I didn’t see it mentioned when skimming through the various headlight threads.

It has been mentioned, nobody tried it yet. Somebody from Facebook R1250R groups was going to order it several months ago, but no updates.
Doesn't look like the mounting bracket would fit the R1250R though. Wiring connector is also all wrong ;0, so requires some DIY to get it going.

 

[r0ckrat]

All the pics are with a camhead too, so I'd be hard pressed to trust that it will use the LC mounting points...

It looks like they’ve simply superimposed an image of the headlight over a stock camhead image. The latter has a round headlight though.
If you look at the reviewer’s photos, it’s fitted to an LC.

 

[eberhard]

I suppose the mounting points are not that symmetric as required:

i don't think it will fit. One of the comments said sth similar.

I replaced OEM globes on my ‘17 LC with Narva Plus 150 H7 globes. I also adjusted the beam height. Very happy with the outcome. I could've gone for a +50 but after talking to the Navar rep I thought I would give the 150 a try. ADR approval with no additional heat generated (so they say).

Narva | H7 12V 55W PX26D PLUS 150 GLOBE (1)

The upgraded Plus 150 globes deliver a remarkable 150% higher light volume compared to a standardglobe. The longer beam penetration provides extra forward visibility of up to 60 metres, while thewhiter light output can considerably reduce driver eye fatigue and improves safety by...

Here's a guy on YouTube doing a globe replacement on his ‘17 RR and I assume it's the same procedure on 1250R.

On Sunday I put the new Navar plus 150 H7 globes to the test and I'm very impressed. They're a massive improvement over OEM globes. I'm not a fan of riding at night but good to have that increased visibility when required. I must have the height adjusted right because I never got high beam flashes from oncoming traffic.

These are not available in US - I would love to try one as well though…

 

[mikeS]

I can send you a set if you want to try them out. Send me a PM and I'll post a set for you. Cheers Mike

mikeS - Thank you for the kind offer!
I looked again at the comparison video, and it appears that bulb color temperature is still too warm for my liking, especially when compared to Denali lights and Philips Diamond Vision H7 Halogen HID Bulbs which I have installed right now. Thank you for the offer!
