    I like it except for the thick blotchy dark strips that the light shows even while upright. I'll hold out for a better version or product. Also the price is astronomical!

    Beautiful review. That is a quality standard bulb for sure. Nice and bright. But the JW has a wider spread to see the critters. The adaptive capability is priceless if it keeps me from kissing a deer, gravel, pot hole, etc... I'm sold!

    A little disappointed that the Adaptive Light isn't as strong in a straight line than the standard.

    It's hard to gauge "strength", beam length, or lux from a video. Could be a ISO setting on the camera, or maybe the headlight is pointed too low. Long story short theres lots of variables, you have to see the light in person to judge.

    Does seem stronger to the sides though - a wider beam. Which would be good for spotting animals.

    @@threethrushes I have the same light on my 2019 CVO Harley and it's the best light "I" have seen so far. I as well would like it to be brighter and more fill would be great. However again this is the best light I've seen and used so far and I've owned 7 BMW's with superior lighting as well and this seems to stand up almost as good. There is room for improvement for sure. Any for $600 + one would think it's would be a Daylighter!

    I'm surprised at how dim it is when it comes to the low beam. I'm assuming because there's less LEDs for the low beam. I ended up using a non-adaptive LED 7" headlight on my setup and it's low beam is a lot brighter. it's also pretty wide so it helps on the turns. Anways I have a quick clip on my channel for those wanting to see what it looks like. Thanks for posting by the way :thumbsup:

    As of 5/23 the price of the Adaptive light is $719 USD. Was going to go for it until I said wow that's a bunch of money. Still would love to have it, but went for a Cyclops 10.0 H4 in my '23 SV 650. $80 USD and this led is amazing compared to the halogen. Super easy install. Very happy.

    It's clear that the "standard" is much brighter on the straights, while the JW "adaptive" lights the curve better on the turns. That's a real toss up on which headlight one would consider "better"... Maybe if JW Speaker added a brighter light for its low beam it would be the ultimate solution.

    This seems a lot more dim compared to the original light, is this just because of video/post - or is the original bulb/light actually brighter that the LED one?

    $400 is not that bad for this headlight. i bought an LSL headlight for my streetfighter/cafe racer and it cost me $466 and that's with a standard H4 light. it comes with a bracket. I had to buy an HID conversion kit for another $50. but then you have to buy a housing and bracket for this. but it's pretty awesome.
