Vision 110 - LED spot light upgrade.
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2019 11:21 pm
Hello all,
I thought I’d start a new thread on my new Vision I just bought due to the last one being killed by a rear end impact from a Vauxhall Insignia. I have been posting on the Vision 110 uphill topic but didn’t think it fair to keep posting there as although it’s a Vision it’s a little off topic which was originally about uphill performance.
If you have been following the other topic you will know that I commute to work on my Vision and I have been adding a few accessories to make my journey a little more comfortable. So far I have added a Givi tall screen (riot shield), some heated grips which I need to finish off tomorrow and a lead which provides power under the seat for a heated vest. I have built a power loom around a connector block to keep the wiring neat and tidy which has a main fuse and a separate additional fuse for every connection.
It is divided into four sections for permanent live, switched live via a relay, a connection point for the LED lights and a grounding point.
Tonight I drilled some holes in the side panels to mount the lights
It was a little nerve wracking drilling a new scoot but after much measuring and head scratching it went well.
A few penny washers and some neoprene washers for shock absorption made a nice solid mounting point
The lights are made by Rigid Industries and the model is named Ignite. They are a spot pattern and should do a good job of boosting visibility as well as improving on the stock headlamp
I have wired them via the relay on a switched live and they have a separate on/off switch which I have mounted on a panel below the handlebars.
Not a great picture I know as the scoot is still in bits but a little idea of how they look compared to the standard headlight bulb after dark.
I posted this up as I thought these lights might be of interest to Cub owners. The lights are very light and compact and only draw .85 of an amp each yet throw out an immense amount of light for their size. With the heated grips on full power and these lights on, I am still getting 14.2 volts charging voltage at just above idle so I shouldn’t have any problems with flat batteries in future.
I hope this may be of interest to someone and if anyone wants help doing similar you are welcome to send me a message.
Best regards
