All,
This came up in another discussion but I thought it might be worth it to make it a specific topic. I asked the folks at Clearwater if I could use their lights with the HEX ezCAN. Their response:
"The Ezcan product is not approved for use with our lights. It will, in fact, damage them over time. It will work well on say a halogen light but not with an LED light that uses a switching power supply. Other brands of lights can be damaged as well.
The Ezcan actually will be turning our light on and off very quickly to accomplish the appearance of dimming. By doing this, the internal circuits will be subjected to stress. The light's internal circuitry will try to correct for the variations in the power supplied by the ezcan
The ezcan really does not offer any improvements or advantages to our CANopener. The ability to add a horn without a relay is the one advantage. I think you will find that our CANopener is well engineered and works seamlessly with our LED lights and your bike. "
Just a word to the wise.
Best,
Ski
