Electronics » Hex Ezcan aux lights flicker low %

If you're having an ezcan system fitted on your RS or other bmw and hooked some led power to your ports and turned these down to the 10%—20% range I get a light flicker in the lights, def noticeable at 10%, not so at 20%. Anything above 20% just fine.

I know ezcan uses pulse width manipulation, so some lights seem to cope better then others.

Maybe I'm gonna switch them both on one channel and use the other one for that denali horn I'm having lying around. I have the denali wiring kit too so thinking of using that one.
I have these fitted:

Great lights, like them, so much light! But 30% is just a tad too high for those 4% nighttime drivers. Otherwise love them, especially with the strobe function where you hit your high beam lever 3 times and they flicker police like to that 3th lane hanger from way before at 100%
When at full brightness it's as if being engulfed by the sun I'm told

Personally I want to go towards more flood but a decent range either. Working properly with the ezcan a plus obviously.

Look at these badboys I came across..

Responds with lighting working good or bad with it greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue, I bought some lights cheap from amazon and have had to play around with intensity settings to stop flicker.
I think they are at 30% day time and 100% full beam and night

I also had flickering with the ezcan system and Clearwater Krista/Erica lights. The tech person from Clearwater suggested I check the battery voltage. Eventually I was going to change out the old battery to a Shorai battery so I decided not to check the voltage and to simply changed to the Shorai battery. With the battery change there is some flickering that is still present but it is nowhere near as noticeable as it had been before the battery change. For daytime lights I currently use 20%.

After the battery change I did change the wiring from the individual lights being on separate circuits (red and orange) to both lights being on one circuit (red or orange). The change to both lights being on same circuit did not change the lighting at all.

Quick question, Where does the Ezcan locate on the RS, just want to check to see if my bike has one fitted, I doubt has as its EX bmw bike.

Thanks

The Ezcan is an after market accessory so doubt very much you have one.

If you do you area lucky boy as they are not cheap

I have often wondered why LED's flicker when filmed on modern cameras,

Thank you

If you have bought one of the eBay light sets which comes with cable loom, handlebar switch and fused battery connection, you may notice a small box as part of the wiring. This will contain a relay which is used to switch the lights on and off, either directly controlled by the handlebar switch, or if it has an ignition controlled 12V feed in the loom, to turn off the lights when the ignition goes off.

If you then power this whole circuit from a HexEzcan rather than the intended direct fused battery connection you will be causing the relay to try to open and close in time with the high frequency on and off modulation of the supply voltage which is applied by the HexEzcan in order to reduce power to the lights. This is intended to be too fast to be noticeable to the naked eye, though as mentioned can sometimes be seen on video. However, since the relay can't open and close that quickly it will do so at its maximum speed which gives a much slower rate of on and off transitions, which will be visible.

As a result, (and I say this from personal experience!) you will get very noticeable flicker and normally a loud buzzing too as the relay opens and closes at its maximum rate, which will probably also cause it to wear out rather quickly. This may not be what is happening in your case, but if so, what you need to do is cut the lamp connections off the supplied loom and wire them directly back to the HexEzcan, getting rid of the original fuse, switch, and relay.
