The DENALI D7 LED Lights are the ultimate in high power auxiliary lights.
Each light pod has seven 10W professional-grade LEDs, focussed through a custom-designed lens to produce a spot beam with over 400m of reach (at an intensity of 1.0 lux). In fact a D7 kit will produce more than double the light output of a D4 kit!
Since the D7 has so much power the light pattern is both spot and flood, providing over 400m of forward illumination and 60m wide.
The lights are built from two tough metal housings each equipped with seven high-power LEDs. The housings are made from aluminium with a black powder-coated finish and have cooling fins cast into the body for maximum heat dissipation. The high light output is automatically modified to prevent over-heating to guarantee illumination in all situations and ensure the maximum life from the components.
The lights are water-proofed to the IP67 standard.

How are the lights controlled?
The lights are controlled by a high-quality, waterproof On/Off switch included in the kit.
Alternative Control Methods
- the DataDim plug-in controller module can switch the light's intensity automatically between half/full power in sync with the bike's OEM headlight (low/high-beam). This may also be used with the waterproof Hi-off-Low 3.way switch.
- CANsmart accessory controllers: for some BMW, Harley-Davidson and KTM bikes, CANsmart cables are available. These are active cables that allow control of the light (and other accessories) via the bike’s CANbus system, using the bike's original switch controls. Note that when used with a CANsmart, flickering of the lights may occur when used at less than 30% intensity.
Note that if you wish to use a CANsmart with DENALI lights, you NOT need to buy a light KIT (that incudes two lights, cables and a switch): you only need to buy two single D7 light pods, as the CANsmart includes the same cables as the light KIT, and you do not need a switch with a CANsmart.
EU Appproval
The DENALI D7 is approved as a Driving Beam (High Beam) pursuant to Regulation No. 112: certification.
Installation
The D7 kit includes all the necessary cabling for the electrical installation, see the instructions for details: DENALI D7 Installation Instructions.

The D7 lights have a M8 mounting bolt fitted to a moveable hinge.
They can be fitted to crash bars, mudguards or any other types of robust brackets with a M8 hole.
DENALI offer several universal brackets and many bike-specific mounting brackets: see the Twisted Throttle compatibility list.
All products supplied by Motorvista include instructions in english and spanish.

DENALI 2.0 Lights - Common Characteristics
High Power LEDs - HiDrive™
The LEDs used in all DENALI 2.0 systems are the latest generation "Hi-Intensity" LEDs from Cree.
Compared to the DENALI 1.0 series, these produce 20% more light (lumens) for the same low current consumption.
Advanced Thermal Management - LiveActive™
LEDs last longer and output more light when they are kept cool. The DENALI 2.0 lights have advanced software control "LiveActive"™ integrated into the LEDs and external oversize heatsinks cast into the housing to maximise the efficiency minute-by-minute and ensure the longest lifetime.
Multi-Beam Lens system - TriOptic™
All kits include two spot lenses and two flood lenses to allow a choice of three lighting patterns. Use two spot lenses for the maximum forward reach, two elliptical floods for maximum side spread, or one of each for a combined effect.
In addition to providing three beam options in one kit, the second set of spot-only lenses are CE-certified. This ensures you can stay street-legal on-road while maintaining the option for maximum distance off-road.
Fully Waterproof Construction - DrySeal™
The seals between the components of the housings are moulded silicon and the cable entry points are potted in epoxy to ensure the housings are 100% watertight even when submerged. The control switches (On/Off and Off/Low/High) are also 100% waterproof.
Corrosion-Proof Bezels - Impact PC™
The front bezels always bear the brunt of stone damage and so the coated aluminium of the main housing is not always an appropriate material. The housing bezels are moulded in 100% polycarbonate (DR2, DM and DR1 only/not D4) for the best possible resistance to stone damage, providing a tough surface that does not rust or fade with the sun.
Chromed Reflectors
The internal LED holders are plated in high reflective chrome to focus all the generated light forward and to better match the bike's original headlights
Low-profile mounts and stainless-steel fixings
The hinged mounts are designed to reduce the installed profile to the minimum possible while maintaining high strength. All screws and nuts are manufactured in stainless-steel.
Waterproof Switch – "DrySeal"™
All DENALI switches are completely waterproof to ensure a long lifetime in harsh, outdoor conditions. The switches can be mounted on a flat surface or a handlebar (22mm/25mm).
HotSwap™ Wiring Harness
The cabling uses high-quality waterproof components and allows a simple upgrade to dual intensity LEDs by the use of the DataDim™ Controller Relay (available here).
Optional Upgrades
DataDim™ Controller
This relay allows the lights to be switched between Off/Low Intensity/High Intensity.
The lights are switched Off/On by the standard switch included in this kit.
The Low/High intensity is controlled by the original main beam switch of the motorcycle via a connection to the original main beam circuit.
The DataDim™ controller relay (available here) replaces the Single-Intensity relay that is included in the kit.
DataDim™ Controller + Hi/Low/Off Switch
This option provides full control of the lights independently of the main beam control.
In some motorcycles it is impossible to use the main beam control and so this manually-operated switch is required.
This option replaces the standard Single-Intensity relay with a DataDim relay (available here) and replaces the standard Off/On switch with the Off/Low/High switch (available here).
Switch Eliminator
This allows the lights to automatically switch on with the ignition circuit, so are always on when riding. This option replaces the standard On/Off switch and is available here.
Harness Extension
This cable extends the length of the standard lighting harness by 61cm (24") and features the same high-quality waterproof connectors as the original DENALI cables. It is available here.
Y-Splitter Kit
If you wish to add one or two more lights to your existing DENALI system, the "Y" splitter kit makes that very easy. It is available here.
Auxiliary LED Brake light
The B6 LED auxiliary brake light is a great safety addition to your existing brake light to wake up those cage-drivers! The unit comprises six 0.5W LEDs in a very compact, low-profile housing and is available here.

DENALI Lights - EU Compliance
Please note there is NO EU category for "auxiliary lights". Additional front-facing lights can only be designated as "fog lights" or "headlight" replacements.
"Headlight" replacement means that one additional light my be used with the existing main beam light but two lights may NOT be used with the existing main beam light: in this case the function of the original main beam should be anulled.
DENALI lights were originally designed for the USA market and subsequently marketed to the rest of the world, including the EU.
Consequently the certification of the lights in line with EU classifications was done later.
EU compliance (E-Mark approval/homologation) documentation can be downloaded from the DENALI website here.
S4 Auxiliary Lights
Not certified.
DM Auxiliary Lights
The DMs are not sufficiently powerful to be classed as replacements for the main headlamp and are too powerful to be classed as fog lamps, so were certified as “AR-Reversing Lamps” in order to have some certification, rather than none at all.
D2 Auxiliary Lights
The DMs are not sufficiently powerful to be classed as replacements for the main headlamp and are too powerful to be classed as fog lamps, so were certified as “AR-Reversing Lamps” in order to have some certification, rather than none at all.
DR1 Auxiliary Lights
Certified as a R-main beam headlamp replacement.
D4 Auxiliary Lights
Certified as a R-main beam headlamp replacement.
D7 Auxiliary Lights
Certified as a R-main beam headlamp replacement.
