I am looking at getting a pair of clearwater lights to put on my bike and was looking for some input from people who have them or have been around them. I ride quite a bit at night in rural blacktop areas with lots of deer and other critters. I am looking for something to really light up the ditch areas and some addition lighting on the sides of the headlights. My questions are should I go with the Ericas or will the Darlas be enough to do what I want. I really like the mounting of the Darlas on the fender mounts but not sure how they light up the ditch areas on the inside of a corner at night. On the Ericas I was wondering if anyone has them mounted on the crashbar with wet lowers and if they clear with the mounts supplied. I would want them on the inner side of the crash bar not on the outside. I am sure the Ericas work better than the Darlas but not sure they will clear the wet lowers. Spending this amount of money I want to make sure they are what I want. Using both is an option if necessary but that is quite a bit on money if not really needed. My main use is night vision, secondary is daytime safety use. So anyone with input on these and pics of them mounted would be great. The website just doesn't give a lot of useful info. I have never been around these lights in person so I am going off of internet info.
I have a set of Darlas mounted to my 2019 Ultra Limited’s forks. I also swapped out the stock aux lights for the hogworkz halomaker. Between the two, lighting up the night isn’t an issue. The Darlas cast a long beam in front and are probably the brightest lights on the bike. You’ll see the sides of the road but from a slight distance. They work for me. Obviously the Erika’s are brighter and cover a larger area. I don’t have any pics of them other than in my garage. They are controlled by an additional stock aux light switch and the dimmer module is mounted under the clutch reservoir. On high beam, they automatically go to their brightest output.
