All you need to know before ordering

Technical specifications, equipment, delivery, and warranty: find every detail, verified against official LOBOO documentation, below.

Description LOBOO L16 auxiliary headlight ECE approved – 19,000 lumens, white to yellow from the bezel

On all other auxiliary spotlights, yellow light is achieved with a lens cover that is applied manually: you stop, install it, and put it in your pocket when the fog clears.

The LOBOO L16 changes color temperature electronically, from 6000 K white to 3000 K yellow, by rotating the same dial that adjusts brightness. While riding, with gloves on, without stopping.

ECE R149 Homologated

Certified E57*149R00/06*1187, UN Regulation R149.00 Class B for right-hand traffic, with both dipped and main beam approved and a stamped mark on the body. Almost all aftermarket spotlights are sold with the clause "for off-road use only."

Nineteen thousand lumens, manageable

The dipped beam alone covers from 5,000 to 16,800 lumens; with both main and dipped beam together, it reaches 19,000. For comparison, a motorcycle's original LED stops around 1,500.

The eight levels are what makes this power usable: in the city or behind a car, you can lower it to the minimum instead of turning it off. Power consumption follows the intensity, from 50 to 168 W for dipped beam and from 58 to 190 W with both beams.

The sharp cut-off of the dipped beam

Five LEDs per headlight behind a high-efficiency lens generate a wide beam with a defined cut-off line: it illuminates the edges of the road without blinding oncoming drivers. This is the difference between a powerful headlight and a usable headlight.

One dial for everything

The aluminum alloy dial is installed on the clutch control: your thumb can reach it without letting go of the grip. With the same control, you adjust intensity and color temperature, eight levels for each.

A tap of the horn activates the warning flash, in addition to the three autonomous strobe modes.

Construction

Body entirely CNC machined from aluminum alloy with dissipation fins, glass lens, and IP68 rating. At 190 W, heat management is not a detail: the system automatically reduces power if the temperature rises, and the circuit is protected against reverse polarity and overvoltage.

Mounting

Multi-axis adjustable bracket, compatible with tubes from 22, 25, 28, 32 and 38 mm: narrow handlebars, cruisers, adventure bars, and large diameter engine guards. Compact size, with a diameter of 97.9 mm.

Why choose it
  • White or yellow from the bezel:from 6000K to 3000K on the fly, no lens covers to apply. This is the feature that no other headlight in the range offers.
  • ECE R149.00 approved:low beam and high beam both approved, certificate downloadable.
  • 19,000 lumens on eight levels:low beam from 5,000 to 16,800 lm, up to 19,000 with high beam.
  • Sharp cut-off lens:illuminates the edges of the road without dazzling oncoming traffic.
  • Flash with horn:plus three autonomous strobe modes.
  • IP68 and CNC aluminum:with automatic thermal control and reverse polarity protection.
Who is it recommended for

L16, L12T or L11?

These are three ECE R149 approved headlights, all with low beam, high beam, and an eight-level halo ring. The yellow light and power differ.

  • L16: 19,000 lumens and electronically variable color temperature. If you often drive in fog or variable rain, this makes a noticeable difference.
  • L12T and L11: 15,200 and 15,000 lumens, with a yellow lens cover to be applied manually.

The two accessories worth considering

  • Q7 Quick Release Mount— remove the headlights without tools, with a key lock and waterproof connector. Compatible with L7S, L7Q, L11, L16, and L18S.
  • LC081 CAN-Bus Controller— controls the L16 from the original BMW Wonder Wheel. Each version already includes the dedicated cable for your motorcycle.

Check the diameter of the tube at the exact mounting point: the bracket covers 22, 25, 28, 32, and 38 mm.

Documents and manufacturer

Type Approval Certificate

ECE Approval E57*149R00/06*1187, extension 00, UN Regulation R149.00 Class B for right-hand traffic, with both low beam and high beam approved and mark stamped on the headlamp body. Issued on June 19, 2024, by the Type Approval Authority of the Republic of San Marino, based on test report ATS-SM-IR-149-0168. The approval covers type L16 and variants L16T, L16Pro, L16S, L16Q, and L16K.

Installation and Use

  • Connect via a relay with a dedicated fuse, never by tapping into an existing circuit.
  • Check the margin of your electrical system: up to 190 W in high beam mode is a significant load, especially if you already use heated grips or a heated vest.
  • Adjust the beam inclination so that it does not dazzle oncoming drivers: this is the most important check and the one most often skipped.
  • The approval concerns the device. The conditions for installation and use on the vehicle remain subject to the Highway Code.

How does it work, in detail?

From white to yellow without touching the headlight

From white to yellow without touching the headlight

On all other spotlights, yellow light is achieved with a lens cover that must be fitted by hand. That means stopping, removing it, putting it in your pocket, and refitting it when the fog has cleared.

The L16 changes the color temperature electronically, from 6000 K white to 3000 K yellow, by turning the same ring that controls brightness. While riding, with gloves on, without stopping.

Nineteen thousand lumens, managed across eight levels

Nineteen thousand lumens, managed across eight levels

The low beam alone ranges from 5,000 to 16,800 lumens; with the high and low beams together, it reaches 19,000. For comparison, a motorcycle’s original LED tops out at around 1,500.

The eight levels aren’t a gimmick: they’re what makes this power usable in the city or behind a car without having to turn it off.

One dial for everything

One dial for everything

The aluminum-alloy dial mounts on the clutch control: your thumb can reach it without releasing your grip, and an indicator shows the active level.

With the same control, adjust intensity and color temperature: two parameters, one gesture, no additional button to search for.

The low-beam cutoff line

The low-beam cutoff line

The high-efficiency lens produces a wide low beam with a defined cutoff line: it illuminates the edges of the road without shining into oncoming drivers’ eyes.

It’s the difference between a powerful headlight and a usable one: power without a cutoff only results in angry flashes from other drivers.

Controls with BMW Wonder Wheel

Controls with BMW Wonder Wheel

With the LOBOO LC081 CAN-Bus controller and the dedicated cable for your motorcycle, the L16 is controlled using the original BMW Wonder Wheel—no additional handlebar switch required.

A tap of the horn also activates the warning flash, in addition to the three independent strobe modes.

IP68, CNC aluminum, and thermal control

IP68, CNC aluminum, and thermal control

Fully CNC-machined aluminum alloy body with cooling fins, IP68-rated sealing tested in heavy rain.

At 190 W, heat management is essential: the system automatically reduces power if the temperature rises, and the circuit is protected against reverse polarity and overvoltage.

FAQs

For more information, please see our FAQ.

Is it approved for road use?

Yes. The L16 has ECE type approval E57*149R00/06*1187 under UN Regulation R149.00, with both the low beam and high beam approved and the marking stamped on the housing. The full certificate can be downloaded from the product page.

You are responsible for verifying the installation requirements set out in the Highway Code for your vehicle.

How does the color temperature change work?

It is electronic, not optical: turning the ring on the clutch control gradually shifts the light from 6000 K white to 3000 K yellow. There are no filters to attach or remove.

It is genuinely useful: yellow penetrates fog and rain better, where white creates glare from suspended water droplets. With the L16, you can change it while driving as conditions change.

What’s the difference compared with L11 and L12T?

All three are ECE R149-approved and feature low beam, high beam, and an eight-level beam ring. The difference lies in the yellow light and output.

L11 and L12T achieve the yellow light with a lens cover that you apply by hand and reach 15,000 and 15,200 lumens, respectively. The L16 changes color temperature electronically while driving and reaches 19,000 lumens. If you often drive in fog or changing rain, that's the difference you notice.

Which pipes does it fit?

For 22, 25, 28, 32, and 38 mm tubes: clip-ons, cruiser bars, adventure bars, and large-diameter engine guard tubes. The bracket is adjustable, so you can set the angle after installation.

Measure the diameter at the exact point where you want to mount the light: on many bars, the cross-section changes along their length.

How much power does it draw? Can the motorcycle’s electrical system handle it?

Up to 190 W in high-beam mode: that’s a significant load. On motorcycles whose alternator is already burdened by heated grips, a heated jacket, and USB accessories, the margin is quickly reduced.

Always connect through a relay with a dedicated fuse, never by tapping into an existing circuit. Remember that the eight levels mean you can almost always operate well below maximum.

Can I control it using the motorcycle’s original controls?

On BMW motorcycles, yes—with the LOBOO LC081 CAN-Bus controller and the cable dedicated to your model, you can control the L16 using the original Wonder Wheel, without adding switches to the handlebars.

The connection to the horn for the warning flash, however, works on any motorcycle using the dedicated cable included.

Which motorcycles is this motorcycle spotlight compatible with?

The available official documentation does not provide a detailed compatibility list. Before purchasing, tell us your motorcycle's make, model, year, and version, as well as any frames, engine guards, or mounts already installed: we will verify compatibility with the manufacturer.

How is the product assembled?

PROFESSIONAL-GRADE INSTALLATION Mounting: Suitable for 22 mm, 25 mm, and 28 mm tubes. (Quick-release mount optional.) If you have any doubts, Endurrad pre-sales support can help you assess the installation before purchase.
