there are LED lights and there are LED lights. Some are rubbish and others perform remarkably well. For our old war-horses, the best I've found is here http://www.dynamoregulatorconversions.com/online-shop-for-led-bulbs-and-light-boards-etc.php . Very bright and draws almost no electricity.

The Double dipper is their one size fits all headlamp replacement globe.

Way back in the 90's I bought a bulbsthatlast4ever tail lamp board for my A65.
It is still there, worked faultlessly till the engine didn't
It was so good I bought another for the B40 and it still works perfectly.
These were around $ 300 Aus and even at that price, excellent value as they still work as good as the day they were fitted.

The light from the DD is a brilliant white light.
If you are standing still, reading a map by your headlamp it is fine.
If you are riding slowly down a totally dark back lane with no other traffic in either direction .
But for normal street riding i degree of being fatal.
Perhaps the night sky is darker over there .
