Harley Davidson headlight draws 30 watts, 45 watts on high beam


Fairing was custom made for this 5 3/4” diameter Harley Davidson LED headlight. LiFePO4 battery is now eighteen amp hour.
This bike has a 500 watt hub motor with it own battery. The directional indicators and marker lights are also on the LiFePO auxiliary battery.

I see no need for a motorcycle light when plenty of excellent dynamo or USB charged lights exist and this seems like it would all be a heavy mess to schlep on a bike, You would probably need a motor just to haul the batteries and lights and fairings and whatnot.

When I was a kid, I mounted a full fairing from a Harley on an Araya road bike. It had 2 headlights, a stereo, and two speakers. It was hideous, but with a small 12 volt battery, the lights worked, and I could listen to music.

Wow, that's going to be a lot of extra weight, especially that battery.

He mentioned that the bike has a 500-watt motor with a battery dedicated to that motor. It's probably not a light bike, and this lighting system probably doesn't make it terribly heavy given the likely use case.
