Anyone seen or tried these LED lights?

Wanted to know if anyone has seen or tried these on their spider RT.

I just replaced all of the front lights in my truck with LED bulbs from Sealight. Paid $80 for all 6 bulbs. Very happy with them. They are actually "Xenower" brand. For the Spyder RTs we went through Lamonster. Do a search for LED replacements here on the site

I would avoid anything with a fan on a Spyder.

I would probably avoid anything with a fan on anything else, too. That fan would be living in a harsh environment, making it more likely to fail. If the LED depends on the fan for cooling, IT'S going to fail right after the fan. :dontknow:

Interesting reply. When you consider the fans are encased within the headlight or foglights, under the black cover, the harsh environment is negated. The fans themselves are a brushless design, meaning the only contact parts are the bearings. These fans are similar to those used inside computers. Very uncommon to hear that a computers internal fan failed, maybe bogged down from dust accumulation, but seldom fail. Inside the computers, the fans typically operate for tens of thousands of hours.

Forced air cooling LED allows the LED to remain efficient and last longer. Early LEDs used braids as heat sinks. Newer types use actual finned heat sinks. Whether braids of finned, without air circulation, they simply become at the mercy of how well they can radiate the heat.

Considering the heatsinks will be enclosed within the headlight also, that begs the question of when is the inadequate amount of airflow to radiate the heat found.

Many years ago, I installed Cyclops brand LEDs for headlights and foglights. They use forced air cooling with brushless motor fans. At the time, and it may still be there, they demonstrated taking a production LED, fully illuminated and fan operating and submerged it in water for a while. Operating the entire time submerged it never skipped a beat. They pulled it from the water, and yes, it continued to operate fine.

Curious, how did you wind up swapping out 6 bulbs? 2 headlights, 2 fog lights, where are the other 2?

Already LED from Can Am. Maybe he added some A arm secondary lights.

Read his post a little more carefully. I'll highlight the important part.

Sorry Steve,
I’ll post this image, directed at me, for my stupid reply because I didn’t read close enough that he was mentioning his truck.
