LED pods - Chinese

My experience has been the odd add getting through and no way to go back except to close the page. Aggressive and controlling.

Just did a search for reviews on their products. Overall 2.7 out of 5. Personally I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Prefer to pay a little more with less drama.

By the way, that link won't let me through a security check first. That is probably about getting more underhand info,(tracking), from me
 
Bought almost exactly the same off Amazon... a set for the SG and a set for the Beemer. I like 'em. They really get peoples attention. If you set 'em up too high, you'll get drivers flashing you even on a bright, sunlit day. I bought the yellow ones. White headlight and yellow fogs give you excellent contrast for getting attention.
Well worth it for added visibility in my opinion.

Thank you Sir for your feedback. Perhaps, the link is for Canadian customers and not US, therefore you were unable to get thru?

A very many thanks Jim for your detailed feedback and attaching them pictures with the lights mounted on your bikes. I think I will go with these. Thank you Sir once again, much appreciated. Have a good evening.
 
I’ve recently purchased stuff from Temu and once on their radar they’re a pita. lol. They’ll send emails every day offering huge discounts. Here’s a trick to maximize your discount. Register yourself and place the lights in your shopping cart. Just leave them there. In less than 24 hours they’ll start throwing crazy discounts at you. For a cheap tool I was interested in, they offered it to me for free. I still didn’t order it do they offered 3 for free, but I had to place a $35 min order. That’s ok if you need other stuff. A couple of months ago I bought a set of drill bits; rubber insulator pads and rare earth magnets. Quality looked so so. Usually you get what you pay for. Since Jim had good luck with his lights they may be worth a try.
 
Temu works fine for me. They don't spam my inbox. I think Skull had problems because he's in Australia. My belief is that Temu is like buying Chinese products on AliExpress, except the goods have already been imported to the U.S., so you get them sooner. And less choices.

Bosco is in the US. They have an Aussie site.

It's a choice. Maybe moral, environmental or don't care.

I’m in Canada so the link provided by the OP works fine for me. They list a lot of stuff for sale. As I said earlier, you get what you pay for. Regarding these lights, they probably work ok but one shouldn’t expect the quality of similar looking ones costing 10X more. For safety’s sake I’m thinking about putting a set of lights on the Moto Guzzi. I haven’t decided what to buy yet. It will most likely be a winter project so I’ll watch for a deal.

I bought replacement appliance parts from them. They did not fit as advertised. I returned them for refund no problem. I don’t have unwanted email from Temu.

If I'm reading that first link correctly, those lights look like a 90w electrical load? A bit much for a XS650 charging system? Apologies if I read it wrong.

Interesting observation. Would that be 90W per light? When looking at expensive lights (which I’m too cheap to buy), the spec was 1.6A load. I’m guessing you can’t trust the Chinese spec and actual load is much lower. As @Jim has installed these on his bike I’m sure they’re ok.

The Amazon ones claim 10 watts. I suspect the Temu ones are identical/from the same factory. I can turn the light on (engine off) and see absolutely no drop on the voltmeter.... leading me to believe 10W is correct.
90W is about 7 or 8 amps. I'd likely see close to a 1 volt drop if they were pulling that much.
