any feedback on this? It's the Wisamic 5 3/4 daymaker led headlight. Only $50

 

Never heard of wisomic. Normally I would say you get what you pay for and while i personally wouldn't try it, a friend bought one of the 80 dollar day makers about a year ago and it still works as it should. It does look cool, I just don't trust the parts that are 1/8th of Harleys price. But that's just my opinion. How are the reviews?

 

I wouldn't buy it. Bad reviews. People giving it higher ratings probably haven't had it long. I know $50 makes it tempting. Again, risk of get what you pay for. Check these guys out. A lot of people like them.

If you take the time to peruse the internet and compare, you'll find some pretty striking differences in quality between the "knockoffs' like Wisamic, et al, and the "name brand" items like Moons, Custom Dynamic, Trucklite, and so on. Things like solder connections, the way the wires are sealed where they enter the headlight shell, and other like details are often pretty shoddy on the knockoffs as compared to the name brands. In addition, I've heard of quite a few complaints of the knockoffs fogging up, compared to a relatively very few numbers fogging up with the "high priced spread", which is a relative term anyway since I'd much rather spend the $200- whatever on up with the confidence that my headlight is much less likely to fail on me than to take the risk of being dragged out of the bushes some morning because my $50 headlight quit. YMMV, however.....

Just my opinion for "bang for the buck"-- Moons.

Picked this up. haven't mounted it but some friends use them. Reviews are good. Arrived in the mail and its pretty solid.

 

Not sure on the make, would have to go out to the shop. Bought mine off Amazon in the spring 2016 50 something 10,000 miles to date. Great during the day Super at night.

 

I think that's the one my buddy just installed. He loves it, but has only had it a few weeks so can't speak of the life of it yet. I ordered one off amazon last year for around $100. It seems well built, haven't had any real issues. The only down sides I've seen are a strange light pattern which I've gotten over, and it does fog slightly after riding but goes away after sitting for a few hours. And the fog is not nearly bad enough to cause any disruption in the light. I understand you get what you pay for, but there comes a point where you are over paying for a name.

 

I think people would be surprised to learn that many of these lights, regardless of the rebranded name, are all churned out of the same 2-3 factories in China..........then sold for a crazy markup.

 

As said above "you get what you pay for". Iv had mine for over a year now, an 10,000 miles for 50 bucks. When I go down the road during the day an the cars flip their brights at me I know it works, Let alone at night very very bright, never had this much light on any bike. For 50 bucks I can buy lots of headlights rather than putting out $250-400 for one headlight.

 

wait a week and you'll have a review.:

plenty of reviews already on amazon, ignore the idiots grumbling about an install.... installs are always a b!*** in stock buckets, even with normal lights.

sportster crew loves them... if i were making pennies bleed in the headlight department, i'd get it. let's be real, you will literally eat $50 in a weekend or out at a bar... buy the light.

nooooooo no no... 8790a\m, 8690a\m, and cd trubeam 7" and 5.75" are legit! stupid nice lights
