Integral Xenon main beam headlight for R 1150 GS / Adventure
Now finally available as an integral headlight which retains the original look
Due to the excellent lumen output of Xenon bulbs, the light emitted reaches further and the illumination of the road
is much better. Also, the light produced by Xenon bulbs more closely resembles the colour of natural daylight,
resulting in better visibility, increased comfort, and increased safety in night driving conditions.
High Intensity Discharge lighting uses a Xenon gas bulb to produce the intense white light with an electric arc. There
is no filament; the arc is created by igniting a mixture of inert gas and metal salts with approximately 20,000 volts.
Consequently each Xenon lamp includes a transformer unit with a high-voltage cable and special brackets. Xenon
lights produce a much higher luminous flux (3200 Lumen instead of 1500 Lumen) than conventional halogen
lights. For more than double the light output it consumes only 35 watts of electrical power (compared to 55W+).
Compared to halogen bulbs that give off light with a yellow tint, Xenon bulbs produce light with a slight bluish tint.
Better visibility results in greater safety and comfort when driving, especially in bad weather conditions.
The Xenon headlight kit includes brackets, transformer, cables and relay. There is no switch - the Xenon lamp is
activated automatically with the high beam.
Cannot be combined with the additional Xenon main beam headlight.
