rubberneck Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 All right, thinking of ordering the trail tech single smr16 HID helmet light. To you guys that have them, would you recomend the flood, or the spot light? Or would i be better off with the dual smr11 kit with one spot and one flood? thanks in advance. Phil Quote

Phil If its a helmet light ,you might want a flood light due to the fact that you are usually looking as far ahead as you can to anticipate the terrain...the flood will give you more and farther coverage but with less quality...the spot gives less coverage but more quality... Hope this helps... Quote
rubberneck Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Posted November 2, 2007 I suppose I should say that I will be using the light in the sand dunes. Somebody on here has to have one of these things. Give me a shout. I have never seen one up close, or talked with somebody who uses one to know what i want. It just makes sense to have one as no matter where i look there will be light. I think if i were riding trails/woods, the flood would make perfect sense, but out in the wide open dunes, the long distance of the spot might make sense. I dont know. Help me out. thanks Quote
Justintoxicated Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) If your going with the SMR16 HID from trailtech I would go with the flood for dunes. Leave a spot in the stock location. This way you will light up all the crap around you with the flood. The spot on the bike will light up stuff farther away. I have 4 (2 of each but only run 3) I prefer 2 floods and one spot for dunes. 2 spots and one flood for hauling on the flats. Hope this helps. Edited November 30, 2007 by Justintoxicated Quote

I'm hoping the wife will get me this for xmass, if not I'm going to order it before my jan trip to mojave. Right now I have 50w piaas in the stock location and 50w trail techs on the bars. One spot and 1 flood at each location. I have a feeling after using the HID helmet light, i will be floating the ground and wiring the bike to run DC and going with HID on the bike too. Im going to order the LiPo battery from trail tech, they claim that it will run the single 16 for 3 hours. What do you think, would you get the single 16 or the dual smr 11 kit for the helmet? Quote

A single for SMR16 for sure. I have sceen both side by side and one SMR16 is much brighter. get the largest lithium ion pack. I might be selling 2 of my smr16's real soon (one spot and one flood) if you want those for your banshee. Quote

I have never personally seen either one, so a side by side 1st hand was what i was hoping for. Definitely will get the 16 now. I will be testing my current set up soon hopefully, and once I get the helmet light should have a good idea if I have enough light. (If there is such a thing) LOL I will keep you in mind, and if you do decide to sell them, shoot me a PM. Quote
