Custom Dynamics offers two families of LED Headlamps, ProBEAM® and TruBEAM®. While both options provide a much brighter and safer light than a factory headlamp bulb, it can be a tough choice to make between the two brands when shopping through our website. To better compare these available options, we have outlined some of the more notable differences below.
TruBEAM®
Custom Dynamics® TruBEAM® LED headlights are a hybrid of projection and reflective technology to produce a maximum light output and offer a decorative white halo ring that surrounds the lamp and it acts as a daytime running light which is great for overall visibility. It's reflective qualities make this a stunning light to look at making you more noticeable to oncoming traffic, especially during a daytime ride.
The TruBEAM® headlight low and high beam operates the same as the factory headlamp. Typically, the low beam LEDs will automatically go off when the high beam is activated. The built in halo ring will stay illuminated with both high and low beams. As a solution, a High-Low Adapter can be purchased separately to allow all of the LEDs to remain illuminated when the high beam is switched on.
It's also important to note, the TruBEAM® LED headlamp is available in both a "Chrome" and "Black Chrome" finish. "Black Chrome" will resemble a smoked or tinted chrome as opposed to a true black finish.
- 3 Low Beam LEDs
- 2 High Beam LEDs
- 5800K Color Temperature
- High Beam: 2947 Effective Lumens
- DOT & SAE Compliant
- Lifetime Warranty
Custom Dynamics® ProBEAM® LED Headlamps are designed specifically for motorcycle use with an ideal beam pattern. The advanced optical D lenses and projection design concentrate the light where the rider needs it most. It's also the smoothest light output on the market without any 'hotspots' to give a daylight appearance even on the darkest roads.
ProBEAM® headlamps will automatically keep both low and high beam LEDs illuminated at the same time when high beam is activated ensuring maximum light output when you need it most. These are also available with a Chrome or True Black reflector.
- 3 Low Beam LEDs
- 5 High Beam LEDs
- 5000K Color Temperature
- High Beam: 1250 Effective Lumens
- DOT, SAE & ECE Compliant
- Lifetime Warranty
ProBEAM® Adaptive2
Custom Dynamics® ProBEAM® Adaptive2 LED headlamp is a premium headlamp option that offers all of the same benefits as the non-adaptive version with features of proprietary JW Speaker adaptive technology. When aimed straight down the highway with no lean, the high and low beam pattern mimic the standard ProBEAM® LED headlamp almost exactly to the eye. Added adaptive technology allows the light to sense when the bike is leaning and respond by illuminating additional LEDs to light up dark corners. The light array is automatically directed up or down as the motorcycle leans so the light moves with you, putting it where you need it most especially if you do a significant amount of night time riding.
- 3 Low Beam LEDs
- 5 High Beam LEDs
- 10 Adaptive LEDs
- 5000k Color Temperature
- High Beam: 1150 Effective Lumens
- DOT, SAE & ECE Compliant
- Lifetime Warranty
When considering which LED headlamp may be best for your motorcycle it's most important to consider your own personal riding habits and which factors are important to you. While Lumens Measurement is provided above for each 7" LED headlamp option, it's important to note that lumens measurements can be an inaccurate measurement of light output. Especially for an application like a motorcycle headlamp, the positioning of the beam and where the light is placed on the road ahead is just as, if not more, important that the amount of light a headlamp projects.
