Harley-Davidson Website Highlights LED Lighting Products

Harley-Davidso has launched a new website called Own the Night to showcase its wide selection of LED lighting accessories, which includes headlamps, auxiliary lamps, tail lamps and turn signals for almost all late-model Harley-Davidson motorcycles.The site offers videos that demonstrate the dramatic difference in lighting performance between Original Equipment incandescent lighting and the LED alternatives. It also gathers all Harley-Davidson LED lighting products together in one place, making it easier for customers to see which LED lights are available for a specific Harley-Davidson model.
Installing LED lighting is the fastest, easiest way to attain superior visibility for night riding, even in the harshest and most challenging conditions. Harley-Davidson LED headlamps and auxiliary lamps are brighter, whiter in color, and provide a superior light pattern over Original Equipment incandescent lamps.The solid-state LEDs are designed for long life, and the shock- and vibration-resistant lamp assembly mounts into existing light housings. Installation is quick and easy, using the factory headlamp wiring.
No external ballast or complicated wire harness is required. Harley-Davidson LED tail lamps and turn signals feature brilliant, fast-acting LED arrays that enhance visibility in all conditions, and also plug into an existing wiring harness for easy installation.Light bulb of the future available for Earth Day.Many of the products come in chrome or black housing color options.While sunflowers are a beautiful addition to any landscaping scene, Karlsson ponders some broader aspects. "I wonder about the nutritional value of food grown under certain lights," she said. "NASA has been looking at this."LED is a completely different technology," Karlsson said. "It's monochromatic light. It may be red or blue, or even orange. There is a peak of light quality and nothing in between. What happens after the plant absorbs these wave lengths of light?" In addition to energy savings, another advantage of LEDs is they don't give off a lot of heat, so they can be placed closer to the plants.When choosing her career, Karlsson decided to go the horticulture route rather than agronomy. She earned a doctorate in horticulture at Michigan State University, where she first became interested in studying the effects of lights on plants."We should do much more," she said. "We have unique conditions in lighting and temperature variations. We can do a lot the rest of the world could learn from. We can be more productive here because we have excellent growing conditions and we don't have to fight many pests and diseases that are devastating to crops in other areas."
