Motorcycle lights are important parts for safe driving of motorcycles. They mainly play the role of lighting and signal indication. The following is a detailed description of motorcycle lights:
Classification by Function
Lighting Category
Headlight: It is the main light source used by motorcycles to illuminate the road ahead when driving at night. There are usually halogen headlights, LED headlights and xenon lamps. Some motorcycles are also equipped with dual headlights or quad headlight systems to provide better lighting effects.
Motorcycle Headlights
Instrument lights: Used to illuminate the dashboard and other internal parts of the motorcycle so that the driver can easily read the instrument information at night. They are usually white.
Signal Indication Category
Turn lights: Used to indicate the motorcycle driver's intention to change direction. They are usually installed near the rearview mirror to signal other road users when turning. There are halogen or LED types.
Taillights: Used to emit light at the rear of the motorcycle so that other road users can see the position of the motorcycle. They are usually red to indicate the direction of the motorcycle. There are halogen or LED types.
Brake lights: Used to emit light when the motorcycle brakes to remind other road users that the motorcycle is slowing down or stopping. It is usually red and has a high brightness so that it can attract the attention of the rear vehicles at the first time.
Position lights/width lights: Used to illuminate the side of the motorcycle at night to make it easier for other road users to see. It is usually yellow and installed on the handlebars, handlebar covers or other conspicuous positions of the motorcycle.
Reversing lights: Used to emit light when the motorcycle is reversing to remind other road users to pay attention to the direction change of the motorcycle. It is usually white.
Classification by Light Source
Halogen Lamps
Working principle: tungsten filaments are used to emit light, and halogen gas is filled in the bulb to improve the luminous efficiency and service life of the tungsten filaments.
Features: relatively low price, yellowish light color, good penetration, and can provide better sight in rainy and foggy weather. But the lumen is not high, the brightness is not enough, it consumes more power, and the lifespan is generally only about 600 hours.
Xenon Lamp
Working principle: Xenon is excited by high voltage to emit light, and the light intensity is high and the color temperature is close to natural light.
Features: High brightness, service life of about 2000 hours, but the startup time has an interval of 3-4 seconds, there is a distance blind spot, which affects driving safety, and secondly, metal mercury will pollute the environment. The EU has legislated to prohibit the installation of xenon lamps on motorcycles.
LED Lamp
Working principle: The light-emitting diode is used to convert electrical energy into light energy, which has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection.
Features: Instant start, no light blind spot, high light utilization rate, good heat dissipation performance, long life, up to 30,000 hours or more, energy-saving design, 60% energy saving than halogen lamps, 2 times brightness increase, and wide voltage design, 8V-36V brightness remains consistent.
Design and Construction Features
Appearance design: The appearance design of motorcycle lights is diverse, and is usually designed according to the overall style and shape of the motorcycle to achieve the unity of beauty and practicality. The lamps of some high-end motorcycles are more exquisitely designed, with streamlined and angular shapes, which are perfectly integrated with the body of the motorcycle, not only providing good lighting effects, but also improving the overall appearance of the motorcycle.
