norman's white wire motorized bicycle head light

[paul]

i got my headlight custom made by norman. and all i can say is nice job norman. i have the larger headlight i hooked up tonight. it is still middle of winter here and couldn't ride but had to check it out . i started my motorized bicycle and turned on the light and it lit my garage up like a candle. i was running 2 headlights both battery operated and this one light puts them to shame and don't have to worry about batteries. during the summer i use the motor bicycle to go back and forth to work and usually get off way after dark. this is a very nice addition to my bike and very pleased. if you want a motor bicycle headlight to run of your white wire i definately recommend it. thank you norman

well i finnally went out late last night to give the headlight a good test. it is bright and lights up the road ahead of you very nice. as i said i was running 2 battery operated headlights before and this is brighter then the 2 of them combined. i would easily compare it to a motorcycle headlight and extremly happy with it. again nice job norman

what size headlight you using to run off? is it an 12V headlight? and what kind engine are you running? 70cc??

I fired up the one bike I'm working on just to hook up the "Norman Light", and it's AWESOME!

it is a 6 volt head light which is what the white wire that comes off your motorized bicycle is. as i said it is awesome. you need to start the bike with the light of and then i turn it on. i think it reduces your spark a little so the bicycle engine doesn't fire up real easy with it on. however once running i turn it on and loose no performance or anything thing else i just get a nicely lighted road in front of me for driving at night. the road i take home from work has no street lights at all and no problem with norman light. i even had the light give me heads up on a deer that was crossing because it lit up his eyes. i have a 70cc bicycle motor

But Paul, I thought the "experts" said his light don't work? I guess empirical testing is better than supposition.

...and yes, it's better if you-
1.) Start the bike and let it warm up before using the light.
2.) Use a good plug wire and cap, which more than makes up for the slightly reduced spark.

Hey all, I know this thread is a bit old but I was wondering what ever became of the "Norman Light"? If it turned out to be a solid performing unit I would be interested in purchasing one. I am definately on the headlight search for the next couple weeks. Researching the net and this forum trying to find a bright enough light for riding late at night.
