Looking for basic but top-quality driving lights that help motorists see you in daylight–and help you see better after dark" Glendina driving lights, from Clearwater Lights, function both as low-intensity running lights to improve conspicuity by day and high-intensity floodlights to improve visibility at night.
Glendina lights are precision manufactured in California from die-cast aluminum and CNC-machined components. They’re only 1.8 inches across but integrate three high-output LEDs, creating 900-plus lumens per light from only 10 watts of input power at 1 amp.
Proprietary digital thermal feedback circuits monitor the temperature of the LEDs and regulate power accordingly. Clearwater says this technology extends the projected life of the LEDs to about 50,000 hours. The Glendinas have two brightness levels that adjust automatically. With your bike’s OEM dimmer on low beam, Glendina lights operate at lower intensity. Switch to high beam for 100-percent intensity.
This seemed like a smart approach to improve lighting on my Kawasaki Versys, so I installed a set. The Glendina Universal Kit, which Clearwater designed to fit more than 100 different bikes, includes machined brackets and stainless steel hardware to provide flexibility in positioning the lights according to a bike’s design and the rider’s preference.
