E Odin Scheinwerfer

[bob2.0]

I am looking at auxiliary lights, as the ones on the bike are so bad.

How much extra power can the DC DC converter take? Does this set a limit on the extra lighting, and is another DC DC converter needed?

Maybe it helps to get 24V lights, a different converter and more efficient lighting?

Ich habe den hier montiert: https://elektroroller-forum.de/viewtopi ... 66#p379866
Sehr hell und bisher ohne Probleme. Ich habe ihn so angeschlossen dass einer der originalen Scheinwerfer automatisch aus geht, wenn der Zusatzscheinwerfer eingeschaltet wird.

I've been looking around and learned a few things.

First, getting ECE approved lights is a hassle.

Second, as far as I can tell from what I have read, ECE regs are not satisfied unless you install a pair, either side. So even if you get an ECE light, it's still not technically to spec unless you mount two of them evenly either side.

I'm not quite sure how that works for bikes where the original equipment is not an even light both sides. My 2 stroke racer has dipped beam on one side and main on the other. Those big BMWs seem to get away with asymmetric lights, too.

Maybe I should ignore ECE regs and just fit a cheap Chinese light?

ECE-Zulassung für Fernlicht hat der, von zwingend paarweiser Montage weiß ich nichts. Ich habs nach diesen Vorgaben des deutschen TÜVs montiert, hier mal mit DeepL übersetzt:

General information
Possibly a useful addition if only one
single headlight for high beam and low beam is part of the
standard equipment of a motorcycle.
Not permitted if two high beam headlights are already available. Color: White.
Installation regulations
Installation as close as possible to the standard headlamp and to the center of the vehicle ("longitudinal center plane"),
at least 50 cm (lower edge) and no more than 120 cm
(upper edge) above the road surface.

Darum hatte ihn so geschaltet dass einer der originalen aus geht wenn der Zusatzscheinwerfer an ist. Meine erste Hauptuntersuchung ist im August, dann werde ich sehen ob der TÜV einverstanden ist.
