Okay, I wired up my lights tonight. My wiring worked!!!!! I went for a little spin around the neighborhood. I think I'm going to love commuting at night. I'm going to do some refining as to how everything is wired and attached to the bike. I'm using velcro fasteners for the wires and switchbox, so everything should be able to be easily removed if I don't want to lug the weight around. I'm on a recumbent and my headlights are attached to an old mtn bike handlebar stem which I stuck in my front deraileur post.
The MR16 10watt Narrow Flood I'm using for my low beam is outstanding. It's a lot more powerful than I expected it to be. I get some light spilling and catching my feet as I pedal, but it doesn't seem to cast any shadows onto the road, so I think that'll be okay.
The MR16 energy saving 20 watt 8 degree spotlight I am a little disappointed with. It appears dimmer than the 10 watt. Has anyone else had this experience?
The difference in the amount of light had me recheck to make sure my 10 watt wasn't accidently the 50 watt bulb that came with the headlights. I'm wondering if I wired something wrong or if I have a defective bulb. I think it is because the beam is so concentrated. The good news is that I don't get any light spill on my feet at all. All I seem to get is a very narrow spotlight. So narrow, that it is not as useful as the 10watt bulb.
