Question 1

What voltage does the Chris Products RUB 3" work light require?

Accepted Answer

The product specifications do not explicitly list the voltage. However, most motorcycle work lights and spotlights of this type are designed for 12V systems, which is standard on most motorcycles including classic BMW models. We recommend contacting our support team or checking the product packaging for voltage confirmation before installation.

Question 2

Is this work light water-resistant and suitable for all-weather use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Chris Products RUB 3" features a sealed beam unit design with a heavy-duty rubber housing, which provides excellent water resistance. This makes it suitable for all-weather conditions, including rain and moisture exposure typical of motorcycle riding and outdoor mechanical work.

Question 3

Can I use this work light on a classic BMW or cafe racer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The RUB 3" work light is highly versatile and works well on classic BMWs, cafe racers, and custom motorcycles. Its compact dimensions (approximately 4-3/4" x 5-13/16" x 3") and rubber housing allow for flexible mounting options. However, ensure your motorcycle's electrical system can handle the 35W halogen load.

Question 4

What is the difference between this halogen work light and an LED alternative?

Accepted Answer

Halogen bulbs, like those in the Chris Products RUB 3", produce warm, focused light and are proven, durable technology that works reliably in sealed beam units. LED work lights offer lower power consumption and longer lifespan, but halogen lights are often preferred for vintage restorations and classic builds due to their authentic appearance and proven reliability on older motorcycle electrical systems.

Question 5

How do I install the Chris Products RUB 3" work light on my motorcycle?

Accepted Answer

The RUB 3" comes with a rubber housing designed for mounting flexibility. Installation typically involves securing the light to your motorcycle frame, fork, or custom bracket using the mounting points on the housing. You'll need to wire the light directly to your motorcycle's 12V electrical system (positive and negative terminals). We recommend consulting your motorcycle's wiring diagram and consulting a professional if you're unfamiliar with electrical installations.

Question 6

Does the Chris Products RUB 3" work light come with mounting hardware?

Accepted Answer

The product includes the spotlight unit with rubber housing, but specific mounting hardware (brackets, fasteners, etc.) may vary. Check your product packaging or contact our customer service to confirm what hardware is included. Many builders prefer to fabricate custom brackets that suit their specific motorcycle design, giving you creative freedom in your build.

Question 7

What is the lifespan of the 35W halogen bulb in this work light?

Accepted Answer

Halogen bulbs typically have a lifespan of 300-1000 hours of operation, depending on usage patterns and riding conditions. Since this is a General Electric sealed beam unit, the bulb is integrated into the fixture. When replacement is needed, you may need to replace the entire sealed beam unit. Regular maintenance and avoiding excessive vibration can extend bulb life.
