Motorcycle lights

Would someone know why the double optical headlights of many motorcycles only use one for the long and one for the short? It would be better if they came from factory with long and short light in each optics. How could I make you long and corta in the two optics to a CBR 600 F 05/06? Do you know how those bulbs that are sold online and that are white?

Hi Asterix, welcome to the forum, you know we are here for what you need.

In the first place I have read your post about what happened to you with rmotos, and tell you that you have done well to report them and even better to publish this so that people realize that they are not alone in these cases.

Regarding your question of the double optics on motorcycles, I tell you, in cars the double optics is also being implemented in the headlights because it has better light performance, that is, if you make a lighthouse for short, with a lamp Ex, H-7 and another for long lamp with H-1 lamp, you take better advantage of the luminosity that each bulb provides because the parable design adapts perféctively.

When you mount an H-4 combined lamp lighthouse, you limit the road optics for the benefit of the crossing, I explain myself:

Normally the light that is for a longer time is that of crossing, so that the parable is designed for this beam of light, sacrificing some dimensions in the road, so that although you have 60W in long, they do not illuminate the same as the 55W of the lamp H-1 with the Specific Lamp.

Double optics in cars, do not turn off when you turn on the road, (H-7 + H-1) so that light beams are supplemented.

On motorcycles, this is not usually done for the issue of current consumption, because the magnetic steering wheel is not able to replace the 110W that consumes the lighthouse in lengths and feed the injection and ignition without causing significant tension falls.

I hope I have clarified the doubt (it looks like a will).

All the best.

Good evening:
Thank you very much Supervisor for your will about the headlights , . Regarding the optics, he was aware that something would have to influence something, although he would not know how to quantify how much. Even so, I think that although with a 60W lamp I give less light than the current long due to the optics, it should be taken into account that with the change there would be two lamps on, so with the sum I suppose I will light more, correct me if I am wrong. Regarding the fact that the inertia steering wheel does not of sufficient tension ... I understand your explanation, but not because they do not design this in such a way that if it supports such consumption or that some current and past motorcycles of the market if they light the two optics at the same time both with the crossing light and with the long one.
Ready to the other question ... Do you know those lamps I tell you? those that give a white light even without being from Xenon.
Ahhh, and thanks for the Apollo to my complaint. I hope my bad experience serves more than one not to commit the same failures.

Of course, two lamps light more than one, the problem is that they do not give twice as much light as you would expect. The test is simple:

Have you tried to keep the bursts clipped in a car with H-4 headlights while you go in short? Yes and I tell you that at that time you have a consumption of 250W and yet you see a tad more than when you go in long long (with a consumption of 110W)

the reason is that in the H-4 or E-2 combined lamp headlights, a large part of the light of the beam of longs \ "Pisa \" The beam of short. This is done so that when you change to Largas you do not groped right in front of the car.

However, in the double optic headlights H-7 + H-1, or H-7 + H-3, the long beam begins from about 50 or 60 meters of the car's nose, as I have told you in the other post, the H-7 do not go out, maintaining a fan that goes from the same car's mouth to 50 or 60 meters where the others begin. That is why they illuminate much better in long.

Regarding your question about high light performance bulbs type \ "Blue Vision \" of Phillips and the like, I tell you that I use them, and that they work very well, give approximately 40% more light performance, (as if you would carry 100W instead of 55W).

A normal halogen lamp provides a visible light spectrum (let's call x) and two other unesis spectra, infrared (heat waves) and ultraviolet (black light or grape rays).

Neither of the two spectra can see them, but nevertheless, the human eye is much more sensitive to the range of blue than to that of reds, so that what is done in these lamps is to dye the glass of the blister so that \ "vira \" the wavelength of the light towards the blue, reducing the losses in the red. With this we achieve a much clearer light, that tires less sight and that yields more with the same consumption.

In contrast is the discrimination of colors (I am not racist hahaha) because with these lamps and in complete darkness the gray silver aluminum, the sky blue (especially the metallic) and the white, (irrelevant when driving) are distinguished.

There are also 100W/110W 12V halogen lamps that are used before in competition for rally cars and others, the problem is that they burned the optics of the small headlights due to the heat they gave off and that it had to be fuses with greater amperage than the originals.
