December 2, 20196 yr Having fitted lights powered off the main battery that complied with German standards I was astonished to see the clear horizontal beam cut off. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/stvzo-lights-with-lenses.35542/ It got me thinking about the backup battery lights I was using on country lanes to act as main beams. Would it be possible to put say aluminium tape horizontally on the top of the lens to create a cut off? http://ridershandbook.com/bikes-and-equipment/how-to-align-your-motorcycle-headlight-for-mot/ That way I could still have the light to the sides (lots of bends) & front (lots of dips) but not blinding oncoming traffic. Has anyone tried something similar or any other suggestions?
December 2, 20196 yr I suspect that you will need to put the tape on the bottom of the lens. That's what they do with cars going to the continent.
December 7, 20196 yr The cutoff is in the mirror design on quality lights so blocking with tape will probably work, test with a bit of cardboard. You will have less light output of course.
