LOBOO Motorcycle Auxiliary Lights: The Range Available on Endurrad

Eight models of LED auxiliary lights, with controllers and mounts from the same range. Specifications taken from the technical data sheets; approval classes taken from the certificates: anything not documented is not stated here.

Low BeamHigh BeamFlashing

In brief. LOBOO motorcycle auxiliary lights are LED auxiliary projectors that work alongside the original headlight to increase the available light in front of and beside the vehicle. Endurrad offers eight models: L7S, L7 for CFMOTO 800MT, L7 for VOGE, L7X, L11, L12T, L16, and L18S.

Approval. Five of the eight models have documented ECE R149.00 photometric approval certified by a certificate: the L7S, the two dedicated L7 versions, the L12T, and the L18S. No R149 certificate is currently available for the L7X, L11, or L16, so no such approval is claimed for them on this page.

The controller is always included. Every LOBOO light comes with its own controller and wiring harness. The LC081 CAN-Bus controller and the clutch lever with integrated controller are control alternatives, not missing components.

LOBOO Motorcycle Auxiliary Lights: What They Are and What They Are For

An auxiliary light is an additional lighting device mounted on the handlebar, crash bars, or dedicated brackets that works together with the motorcycle's main headlight. It does not replace it; it supplements its coverage.

The difference compared with the main lighting is functional. The original headlight is designed to illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle within the photometric limits required for motorcycle approval. Auxiliary lights can help broaden the illuminated area to the sides or increase the beam's depth and range, depending on the optics of the chosen model.

For Adventure and Touring use, this translates into two different needs. On unlit country roads and gravel, where the road edges and lateral obstacles are just as important as the road ahead, a wider beam can make it easier to read the route. On long journeys, range matters instead.

That is why different models exist: they vary in optics, stated luminous flux, power consumption, approval class, and control system. There is no single best model; there is only the one suited to your primary use and the electrical capacity available on your motorcycle. For a broader overview of the category, you can consult the section dedicated to motorcycle lighting.

The information provided comes from the LOBOO product sheets, manuals, and approval certificates cited in each product listing.

The control is always included. All LOBOO auxiliary lights come with their own controller and corresponding wiring: for most models, this is the aluminum alloy ring installed near the clutch control; for the dedicated CFMOTO and VOGE versions, it is the switch included in the kit and connected to the original fog light circuit. There is no need to purchase anything else to turn on and adjust the lights.

How to read this table. The luminous-flux values are those declared by the manufacturer and refer to the pair of lights, not to a single unit. The most useful figure when purchasing is not the lumen count but the power consumption: it must fit within your motorcycle's system capacity margin.

How to choose LOBOO motorcycle auxiliary lights

Five factors determine which model is suitable for a specific motorcycle.

01 · Use

Primary use

Extra-urban night riding, off-road riding, or mixed use with frequent fog and rain. Models with variable color temperature — L16 and L18S — are the only ones in the range that let you switch to yellow without stopping to fit a lens cover.

02 · Electrical

System capacity margin

This is the most underestimated constraint. With both beams active, power consumption ranges from 120 W for the L7X to 210 W for the L18S. If the motorcycle already has heated grips, a heated jacket, or other permanent loads installed, the total must be compared with the alternator's capacity.

03 · Mechanics

Mounting point

The included collars generally fit 22, 25, and 28 mm tubes; 32 and 38 mm collars are accessories sold separately. The diameter must be measured at the exact point where you intend to mount the light, not generically on the handlebar.

04 · Controls

Control system

The switch is always included with the light. What changes is the type: an aluminum ring on the clutch control on most models, or a switch paired with the original fog light on dedicated versions. Alternatively, you can use a clutch lever with an integrated controller or the CAN-Bus controller that uses the original BMW rotary control.

05 · Regulations

Type approval

If the lights are used on public roads, check that the model has an ECE R149 photometric certificate. Be careful not to confuse Regulation R149, which concerns light-beam performance, with Regulation R10 on electromagnetic compatibility: these are two different documents, and only the former certifies the device's photometric compliance.

For a more extensive comparison that includes other brands, you can read the motorcycle auxiliary light comparison published on the Endurrad blog.

LOBOO Auxiliary Lights for Adventure and Touring Motorcycles

Adventure and Touring motorcycles regularly travel routes without street lighting: mountain roads, rural highways, trails, and unpaved tracks. In these settings, auxiliary lighting addresses a coverage problem, not simply a lack of power.

Beam type matters more than lumen count. A low beam with a defined cutoff line illuminates the road edges without rising into the field of view of oncoming traffic; a high-intensity high beam extends visibility on dark straights. LOBOO dual-beam models integrate both functions into a single housing, with the option to reduce intensity rather than switch off when following another vehicle or passing through a built-up area.

Mechanically, motorcycles in this category generally offer engine guards and crash bars that provide existing mounting points, with diameters compatible with LOBOO clamps. Those without bars can choose dedicated mounts or the motorcycle auxiliary-light mounts in the Endurrad catalog.

Controllers and accessories for LOBOO auxiliary lights

Every LOBOO light already comes with its own controller and wiring harness. The accessories below are intended to change how the lights are controlled or mounted, not to complete an incomplete kit.

LOBOO LC081 CAN-Bus controller for operating motorcycle auxiliary lights from the original BMW wheel

Control · CAN-Bus

LOBOO LC081 CAN-Bus controller for BMW

CAN-Bus interface for controlling auxiliary lights from the original BMW Multi-Controller wheel: switching on, adjusting brightness, and changing the color temperature, without adding switches to the handlebar. Switching is synchronized with the high and low beams. The dedicated cable varies by motorcycle model and is already included with each version: 4 pin for R 1200 GS, R 1250 GS, and K 1600; 5 pin for R 1300 GS and R 1300 GS Adventure; 8 pin for F 750 GS, F 800 GS from 2025 onward, F 850 GS, F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure, and F 900 XR.

LOBOO auxiliary light compatibility with your motorcycle

The compatibility of an auxiliary light cannot be determined from the motorcycle brand alone. A universal light is compatible with the 12 V electrical system of any motorcycle, but mounting depends on factors that can vary even within the same model.

Make, model, year, and version of the motorcycle. Model years differ in their mounting points and, on BMW motorcycles, in the connector required by the CAN bus controller.
Tube diameter at the exact mounting point. The included clamps generally cover 22, 25, and 28 mm; dedicated clamps sold separately are required for 32 and 38 mm.
Presence of crash bars and their diameter. These are the most common mounting points for auxiliary lights.
Existing mounts and brackets, which may occupy the intended space or change the available orientation.
Electrical system and available power margin relative to existing loads.
Presence of a CAN bus and connector type, if you intend to control the lights using the original rotary switch.
Accessories already installed near the selected mounting point: handguards, headlight protectors, and GPS brackets.

The stated compatibility is listed on the individual product pages. When LOBOO documentation does not provide a detailed list, the product page states this explicitly and recommends requesting verification before purchase. Send us the make, model, and year: we will confirm the correct mounting solution before you place your order.

Frequently asked questions about LOBOO motorcycle auxiliary lights

What are LOBOO motorcycle auxiliary lights?

These are auxiliary LED lights made by LOBOO, designed to be mounted on the handlebars, crash bars, or dedicated brackets and to complement the motorcycle’s original headlight. The range available on Endurrad includes dual-beam models with separate low- and high-beam lights, eight-level intensity adjustment, and warning-flash modes.

Which LOBOO auxiliary lights are available from Endurrad?

Eight models: L7S; L7 versions dedicated to the CFMOTO 800MT and VOGE DS525X/DS900X; L7X; L11; L12T; L16; and L18S. Also available are the LC081 CAN-Bus controller for BMW, the clutch lever with integrated controller, the Q7 quick-release mount, and dedicated mounts for the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure, BMW R 1300 GS, KTM 790 Adventure, and KTM 1290 Super Adventure R.

How do I choose LOBOO auxiliary lights for my motorcycle?

By assessing five factors: intended primary use, the electrical system's available power margin relative to existing loads, the diameter of the available mounting point, the preferred control system, and whether documented photometric approval is required. Power consumption with both beams active ranges from 120 to 210 W, depending on the model.

Are LOBOO auxiliary lights compatible with all motorcycles?

No, and the question should be phrased differently. The universal models are compatible with the 12 V electrical system of any motorcycle, but installation depends on the available mounting point and its diameter. The dedicated L7 versions for CFMOTO 800MT and VOGE are instead designed for specific motorcycles. Compatibility should always be checked on the individual product page by specifying the make, model, year, and version.

Are LOBOO auxiliary lights approved?

It depends on the model, and two types of certificate must be distinguished. Five of the eight models have ECE R149.00 photometric approval, which concerns light-beam performance: L7S together with the L7, L7-800MT, and L7-DS525X variants under certificate E57*149R00/06*1142 in Class C; L12T with the L12, L12U, L12Q, and L12H variants under certificate E57*149R00/06*1143 in Class C; and L18S with the L18, L18Pro, L18Q, and L18D variants under certificate E57*149R00/08*1206 in Class B RHT. No R149 certificate is currently available for L7X, L11, or L16: the documents associated with L11 and L16 are issued under UN Regulation R10.06, which concerns electromagnetic compatibility rather than photometry. Approval applies to the device; installation and use conditions on the vehicle remain subject to the Highway Code.

What is the difference between Class B and Class C in ECE R149 approval?

These are different classes under UN Regulation R149 for front lighting devices. In the LOBOO range sold by Endurrad, the L7S, L7-800MT, L7-DS525X, and L12T models are approved in Class C, while the L18S is approved in Class B RHT, meaning for right-hand traffic. The L18S certificate also lists vehicle categories L, M, N, and O. The class, certificate number, and categories are shown in the PDF document downloadable from the product page.

Do I need a controller to install LOBOO auxiliary lights?

No. All LOBOO auxiliary lights already include their own controller and the necessary wiring: on most models, this is the aluminum-alloy ring installed near the clutch control; on the dedicated versions for the CFMOTO 800MT and VOGE, it is the switch supplied in the kit, connected to the motorcycle’s original fog-light circuit. The LC081 CAN-Bus controller and the clutch lever with integrated controller are alternative control options for those who prefer to use the original BMW wheel or integrate the controls into the lever; they are not missing components that must be purchased separately.

How can I check CAN-Bus compatibility?

The LC081 controller requires the cable matching the motorcycle’s connector, and each version on sale already includes it. The correspondences indicated on the product page are: 4-pin for the BMW R 1200 GS, R 1250 GS, and K 1600; 5-pin for the R 1300 GS and R 1300 GS Adventure; 8-pin for the F 750 GS, F 800 GS from 2025 onward, F 850 GS, F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure, and F 900 XR. For motorcycles not listed, a prior check is required by providing the model and year.

How many watts do LOBOO auxiliary lights consume?

The stated power consumption varies by model and mode. In low-beam mode, it ranges from 25–80 W for the L11 to 50–168 W for the L16; with both beams active, it ranges from the L7X’s maximum of 120 W to 150 W for the L7S and L12T, 190 W for the L16, and up to 210 W for the L18S. This is the figure to compare with the available capacity of the motorcycle’s electrical system, especially when other permanent loads are present.

Is the yellow lens cover included?

On the L7S, L7 in the dedicated versions, and L12T models, the yellow lens cover is included and removable, allowing you to switch from white to 3000K yellow. The L16 and L18S models do not use a lens cover: the color temperature is adjusted electronically using the ring, from 3000K to 6000K.

Where can I buy LOBOO auxiliary lights in Italy?
