Good for you. I got it to ensure I was giving out the correct amount of light in any given driving scenario to ensure that I can not only see, but more importantly can be seen far better, any time night or day, front or rear. For that, it’s worth every penny.
If the options available to me can be replicated by a bunch of relays, wires, then good on ya I say.
If anyone has any questions about what it can do, how to get one or whatever, let me know.
This thread is starting to feel a bit like when I got my first GSA with ESA fitted and all the 1150 riders were telling me that it was the devils own work
As they say each to there own,

Yes it does !
Latest software update also allows you to change light intensity simply by using the function button as I don’t have the rotawheel thingy of the wc’s

Using the info button? How does that work?

Press and hold for 5 seconds - then tap for 10% changes

That's quite clever.

This is the rundown on new update. Beta testing at the moment
Also head that they are almost there for importation to uk so they should be easier to get
| Light control works like this for R1200 and F800:
|
| * Hold in info button for 5s to enter dimming - front aux lights will flash when dimming mode is entered
| * Click the info button to cycle through brightness settings. It will make the lights brighter in 10% increments until 100% and then cycle back down to 0%.
| * Dimming mode will time out when the info button is not clicked for 10s
| * To toggle the front lights on and off, hold the info button for 7s. At 5s the lights will flash (when entering dimming mode), and after 7s the front lights will toggle off.
| * If you want to turn off all your auxiliary lights (front + brake), hold in the info button for 10s. Horn and accessory outputs will function as usual, but all light functionality will be disabled. Brake light is a temporary disable until the ignition is cycled. Lights can be turned on again using the on/off toggle functionality (i.e. hold info button for 7s)

It would be more useful to have the spots dim (daylight mode) when dipped beam is on but go to full power when main beam is on.
They probably need part dimmed for daylight, fully dimmed to avoid dazzle at night and 100% when main beam is on. Who knows how the system would know when it’s night time.

They do currently
It uses the ambient light sensor in the dash to detect night and day

That makes the EZ CAN into a far more useful product.
U5/U7 Long range spots are ridiculously cheap (buy two or more sets as spares). Then cut out the multifunction chip (see YouTube). That’s perfect for main beam but needs to be much lower light if used as daylights. Even 25% is still on the sharp side. Even less is needed at night on dip beam.
The low power functions must be automatic to the rider as accidentally leaving them on full blast is nasty to oncoming traffic.

Light levels can be set and they do auto switch
I run 40% day
20% night - auto activated when dash lights up in low light conditions
100% on full beam
Every level can be altered to suit what you want
I can also now alter the light levels whilst riding by pressing my function button on the handle bars

All very useful stuff.
I have 70mm dia angel rings around the spot lamps. These run at constant brightness with dipped beam but at 5 watts (or) less are not excessively bright.
The spots only light with main beam.
The EZ-CAN options are far more elegant.
If you go for the cheap U5/7 long range spots be sure to get the type that can have the multi functions disabled. Look on YouTube.
They have a gimmick using a quick button press to cycle between strobe, 50% and 100%.
50% is still too bright and strobe is probably illegal.
