Yes, the Vulcano I is ECE and DOT approved, making it fully street legal for use in Europe and North America. Both certifications ensure the headlamp meets all safety and performance requirements for road use.
The 21.5W main beam provides full brightness for night riding and maximum visibility, while the 15W dipped beam is used in traffic and reduces glare for oncoming road users. This two-level system is standard for road-legal headlamps and required by traffic regulations.
The Vulcano I fits any motorcycle with a standard Bates-style headlamp bracket. This includes most classic BMW motorcycles (K100, R80, R65, etc.), Triumph cafe racers, Harley-Davidson models, and most universal custom builds. Measure your existing bracket diameter (143mm/5-3/4") to confirm compatibility.
The Vulcano I draws only 21.5W on main beam and 15W on dipped beam, plus a minimal 0.2W for the LED position ring. This low amperage draw makes it ideal for classic motorcycles with smaller alternators or limited electrical capacity. LED technology is far more efficient than traditional halogen units.
The integrated LED halo ring contains 36 small LEDs that create a decorative ring of light around the main headlamp beam. This serves as a position light (parking light) to improve visibility and add a modern aesthetic touch to classic motorcycle designs. It runs at just 0.2W, so it draws almost no power.
The Vulcano I has an overall diameter of 143mm (5-3/4") and a depth of 73mm (excluding center wiring). It is designed to fit standard Bates-style headlamp brackets, which is the most common mounting system for classic motorcycles. Verify your current headlamp bracket size before ordering.
The Vulcano I uses a standard 12V connection and is designed for straightforward installation on Bates-style brackets. However, wiring compatibility depends on your motorcycle's existing harness. Most classic BMWs and cafe racers have standard two-wire or three-wire headlamp connections. Consult your motorcycle's wiring diagram or contact our support team if you need installation guidance.
LED headlamps have a significantly longer lifespan than halogen bulbs, typically lasting 25,000-50,000 hours or more depending on usage. This means you'll rarely need to replace the unit. Additionally, LEDs are more durable against vibration and impact, making them ideal for motorcycle use where reliability is critical.
