I found what looks like a great source of lights for the motorcycle project. They carry LED lites for all area's of the bike, including headlight, brake, turn signals, and running lights. Overall it looks like they could save us up to 90% of the normal operating wattage of the standard light setup.
A standard headlight pulls from 20-30 watts on high beam, a constant drain on the battery. Add into that the 5-10 watts for each running light, and up to 15 watts for the brake, and you can see up to 75 watts of drain on the battery at any time.
Now, this may not sound like much, but you can get the same, or even more lighting by using LED's. The same system running LED will pull 2-3 Watts for the headlight, and a total of a possible 8 watts for the entire system. That is a serious gain in time on the battery. Check out the site if your interested, they have some comparisons on there as well.
