If I need more than that I have more lights anyway.

The small yellow road sign is approx 425' from the light.

Nice! Thanks for the post! The effective amount of blacktop that gets lit up is more what I was interested in. How far away was that FIRST yellow sign?

Sorry for being such a pain ... :o:p

Thought I'd add a link here for a couple reasons. (1) Apparently some othercpeople like this light too (2) Its different and apparently much better than the dyno version. :eek: http://sweetbike.org/2012/06/08/of-d...ghts?wpmp_tp=6
I'm actually a little disappointed cause I was really looking for an excuse to buy a dyno! :notamused:
