Stanley Light bulb..

<< < (3/3)

Lobo:
Hi all,

Many thanks for the numerous posts - given that I only ride on sunny days I’m not keen to load the electrics / complicate the wiring with relays / make the bike non-standard etc.

Nige - appreciate your hunting out an adaptor for me, and may well go that route...
(EDIT... Our postings just crossed ... thanks for the LED info)

In the meantime, Bryan’s encyclopaedic knowledge of bulb configurations has left me wowed, and given me a new Search criteria.
What it comes up with is very promising; in the morn I’ll check dimensions, and if the following bulb will fit within the Stanley Lens will take a punt on this... the 10W rating would be a kindness to the bike, and voltage tolerance a boon to the OEM ‘anywhere between 12 & 15v regulator’! (which surely can’t help bulb longevity)

The postage is from China... I’ll report back in a couple of months if a success.

Thanks again all...
Simon

Hi, I’ve just visited flee bay and put in ( 3000k Warm White LED Headlight H4 Motorcycle Hi/Lo Beam Conversion 9-32V) and it came up with multiple options in LED format with prices as low as 3.99.

Don't buy a cheap one you will regret it. ;)
How do I know we design and manufacture LED lighting.
And before anyone asks NO not automotive  :D

Bryanj:
That knowledge is because there were only 2 fitments, and by thw way it was never standard on a Honda, somebody fitted an aftermarket reflector

Lobo:
Regardless Bryan, I’m still wowed... esp as I have trouble recalling what I ate for lunch yesterday 😂.

My 400F2 is not of European vintage - I think the Stanley reflector is standard as this is what the Honda parts manual throws up (ie mine).

K2-K6; I was swaying towards your quality LED suggestion, but am put off by their sheer size due heat sink on the back, and caution to keep this clear of existing wiring (impossible in the ‘400 headlamp shell!). Pity, coz I’d much prefer a ‘warm white’, and generally go for quality wherever possible. Thanks regardless.
