I seriously considered the Moons MC, JW Speaker and Moto Illumination. What sold me on the Moto was the light pattern. It seems that most of the "daymaker" styled lights have a dark area in front of the bike in a "batwing" pattern. I hope the pictures help you at least see the contrast between a few different lights. It really shows how bad the stock light is and any new light will be an improvement. I hope this helps in some way.

Moon's Mc from their website

 

It would be nice if one person could compare and give there impression of both of these lights and the HD daymaker.

But that will probably not happen because of the expense of having all three of these lights in there hands at the same time.

These 3 lights are the ones that I am considering for my bike.

 

yeah I agree.. i wanted to see some test photos. I will say that from what little info I have read about the Moons that there has not been one negative comment.

 

Does anyone have additional test photos for the Moons Daymaker?

Doug, The pics posted toward the garage door look good. The last one you posted looks like the one from their website? For bright at 4100 lumens that doesn't appear to be to impressive. Maybe that is further than it looks. I have umpteen dozen flashlights around the house. I have a 600 lumen AA powered light that blows that away. I realize that is not an apples to apples comparison. How do like it in the curves? I really appreciate the pics. I am leaning towards the Moons too.

 

Yes, that photo is from the Moons site. I've only been able to go for a real short ride around the neighborhood since we've had snow and ice since I've installed the light. When you turn the high beam on its basically like turning on a big spot light in the center. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but if you look closely you may be able to pick it out. It really shoots a good beam out. I hope to get out during the next couple of days as we're going to be in the upper 40's and dry and be able to check it out a little more.

 

Thanks for the pictures man. I think the moons doesn't look as bright in this case because its being directed into a field and not against a white garage panel.

 

That moon pic from the website doesn't have a reflective background like the one going up against the white door, so when you take a pic with a cell phone, it looks darker than it probably is. That was my finding when I put the Primo Rivera one on my last bike and was trying to shoot comparisons.

 

Let's us know what you think. Looking to ride tomorrow myself. Thanks for posting the photos.

 

You can always replace the H4 with the led bulp kit insert... my dealer has one with is 2500 lm.. and its bright as ****... same or better than daymaker forsure and its like 100 bucks..
