Battery Powered Lighting?

 The following is a copy-paste from a buddy of mine.  I know some of
you guys do the enduro thing and thought you might be able to point
him in the right direction.  Thanks.

Anybody have success with battery powered lighting?

Say I bought a yzf450...

Say I tarded said yzf450....

Say I got plates for this 'tarded thumper...

And the stator options were slim to none, and I wanted to be somewhat
legal...

Looking for something that is bright enough to get home in the dark if
I need to, but has long battery life.

Any enduro/dual sport guys have some advice?

 Hi!


Trailtech and many other have HID systems based on Welch-Allyn's 10-20W
range of burners. They are supposed to work pretty good on battery power.
However, emission characteristics is more or less rotation symmetric which
will give you a lot of stray light blinding you and others. Normal halogen
bulbs don't have the efficiency.
