    Some great points, for us Aux lights mean being seen and being safe. Quality is of upmost importance, we have had cheaper ones with various modes that seem to have a mind of there own changing to flashing etc without us knowing, I’m amazed it hasn’t got us into trouble and need to be replaced

I have focused the point to about 15 meters ahead I don’t ride at night these would be too bright .

    OK, now the mythology of aux lighting is a lot clearer for me (no pun intended) And, having recently had a VERY close shave with a doe and tag along fawn whilst riding (on road!) in torrential rain - with mist - through some forest (single lane road which was completely canopied by trees) I guess I need to save like h*ll to be able to afford some of LR’s new “let there be light” babies.

    Hi Andrew, I've seen a couple of videos previewing your new lights with the halo but why have it in an amber light? You are showing amber lights to the front, this is exactly why people are replacing their directional indicator lights with the likes of Weiser. If a car gives a fleeting glance and only has a view of one side it can be interpreted as you are about to turn. Regards Jay

    The thing I'm wondering though: Why is a company mostly focused on bags/tents or other non-electrical accessories, now entering the lights department and can ensure good build quality? Don't get me wrong, I'm a customer and I have the pannier bags, but do see some design flaws that Mosko moto has tackled. I'm not sure if Lone Rider is going too wild with more and more products instead of perfecting their base products.

      @@LONERIDERMoto The feedback:
      - Panniers are sold as being adjustable to a lot of bikes, but only provide pannier rack dimensions. That doesn't take into account the position of the bag to the exhaust. I had to drill extra holes into the backplate to make sure there was some space left. So: continue testing on multiple bikes and provide advice what pannier racks to buy (and add extra holes on the backplate)
      - Continuing on the previous: too much focus on BMW. Have some love for a lot of the other brands.
      - Empty weight of the bag + backplate is a lot. Carrying them with more weight in it is uncomfortable, it actually hurts your lags during walking. A shoulder band is provided but a lot of hassle to tuck away. Could choose to leave the outer bags to the bike and take the inner bags out, but that only works good for hotel rooms, for camping you want maximum water proof. Not always can the bike be parked next to your tent (unfortunately more and more camping grounds want it separate). Would recommend somehow keeping more of the backplate to the pannier.
      - Taking the inner bag out and later putting it in again is a pain, mostly due the outer bag being bulky and thus hard to close eventually. Which also leads me to the following: closing it (folding and snapping it into the tiny hole) is becoming easier the longer you do it but if you think of trying to add 'to much' it quickly becomes hard to close it. In this case I'm talking about adding 'to much' below the folding line but adding more stuff to the sides which makes it bulky.
      - Should be a way to keep the inner bag strapped to the outer bag when it's inside. So that you don't have to continuously open 2 bags and close 2 bags.
      - it's more of a hassle to adjust the backplate to a different pannier rack then was shown in the video. Mainly because you think it's all good but then the locking mechanism didn't close. I currently have the issue that I always need to lift 1 bag a little bit up to lock it. Obviously fixing it means taking the whole bag of the backplate again. Compared to Mosko Moto, a lot harder.
      - I once scratched a pole at low speed. The bag seemed to correctly compress a bit and then god past it. But unfortunately that bended the backplate a bit. I now assume the bags + backplate are only capable of handling falling left or right without moving forward in order for it not to break - so far the 'rugged bags'.
      - The metal parts are sharp, it already damaged my pannier racks. I currently have taped wrapped around the contact points in order to avoid damages (which I have to remew every now and then).
      I love the locking (piece of mind leaving it behind), the spacious bags, the looks, the waterproofness, the molly panels, etc. It has a lot of great things but compared to Mosko Moto just not perfect. Hate it that my girlfriend is quicker in everything during packing, attaching and carrying :)
      Let me know when I can test the updates ;)

So it looks like you guys are going to be selling your own version to go with the lights. I'm hoping that the lights will still work with the others like EzCAN or Cansmart.

But there is also Conformal Coating to waterproof the PCBA. We are aware of this issue and will track it, and have methods to know if the light was opened and water was added, or it was condensation.

    These look really well designed, but IMO, you made a major error with the DRL color scheme. Fog lights should be Yellow, NOT Amber! First, Amber lighting is illegal in the USA on the front of a vehicle, except for turn and hazard indicators (which MUST be Amber). Therefore, your DRLs should be either Yellow or White -- Not only are Yellow fog/aux lights legal, they provide excellent contrast with the White headlight which stands out to other vehicles, are more visible than Amber during daylight and of course, penetrate fog/mist/rain much better than Amber and even White.
    I would strongly recommend White or Yellow DRLs that switch to Amber when turn/hazard indicators are activated. I personally know at least 12 riders (including myself) that would buy these tomorrow if they had a Yellow DRL option.

      If they can only support 2 DRL colors, then please go with White and Yellow. Even if you're running Yellow DRLs, they can remain yellow (though not flashing) when the normal OE Amber turn/hazard lights are activated.
