the jw speaker an CGMacguyver's import are adaptive. when you turn into a corner or switch lanes (make bike lean), the lean trips the accelerometer or counterbalance to active little sub light to brighten the new direction of travel.
Thanks, that sounds impressive

You've got 2 different criteria here.
Bang for the buck and best light no matter the cost.
I've tried 3 different lights.
Truck Light TL7
JW Speaker 8690A
And the Newer Daymaker also by JW Speaker
Out of the 3 I keep going back to the Daymaker
For width and color as well as intensity.

are talking about the signature projection 2017 daymaker or the 3rd gen 2015+ daymaker ?

the signature is an awful value for the $400-700 price. Requires adapters on older bikes and new housings on bikes with non-deep buckets. Good spread/pattern but. Mostly just a looks/visibility thing. Gorgeous design.

the 2015+ daymaker is identical in all ways to the $50 wisamic.

The older version and ya, I had to get the deep bucket. The
$50 light wasn’t available at the time.
The TL7, uses a 7” bucket that’s not stock on 94 FXSTC’s
So I went after market and the weight of the light
along with the vibration snapped the ears off the bucket.

No need for fancy light when you have daymaker, light bar, pods, and custom dynamics ringz
