can an LED light bulb be dimmed? Can it be run on less wattage that it’s total output is?
I plan to put an LED headlight system on my quad which does not have a battery, only has power from a magneto (like a generator), which powers a 45W standard bulb, when you slam the gas down the bulb goes bright, and at idle it’s dim. I want to replace it with an LED fog light system, but I’m wondering if they will work if they don’t have a constant power source delivering full wattage. I know halogen bulbs can be dimmed, but they all draw 55W which is probaly too much juice. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Led’s will also dim because the power dips and spikes when the rpm changes. Atv’s just have a crude electrical system.
I have played around with Luxeon led’s, I’m thinking this would work better. Luxeon’s need a driver circuit. Basically you wire this electrical box to the Atv’s 12v input and the Luxeon to the output. This box sends out a specific amperage and voltage to the led. It should help the dimming problem
Luxeon led’s are really bright and are now being used in flashlights. They draw very little power. The only bad part about them is that they get hot and need a heat sink(radiator).
