Reference BISY-FL Headlamp Patterns

This page contains a reference series of two-lamp pictures, with different white balance settings. Except for the last two, these to me seem less consistent with what my eyes tell me. The stepladder I used for mounting the lamps was placed directly over the "0-foot" cones and the lamps were on a step about 40 inches above ground level, so the test setup reasonably replicated handlebar mounting. I mounted two lamps about 8 inches apart, two halogen or two LED. The closest central cone visible in each picture is at the 10-foot point.

The last two pictures in this series use a white balance = Fluorescent setting, and are repeated from the BISY Headlamp Patterns page. All of these photos were taken on the same evening and with the same setup as the pictures on that page.

Here are the two halogen-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Daylight and an 8-second exposure.

Here are the two LED-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Daylight and an 8-second exposure.

Here are the two halogen-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Cloudy and an 8-second exposure.

Here are the two LED-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Cloudy and an 8-second exposure.

Here are the two halogen-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Tungsten and an 8-second exposure.

Here are the two LED-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Tungsten and an 8-second exposure.

Here are the two halogen-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Fluorescent-H and an 8-second exposure.

Here are the two LED-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Fluorescent-H and an 8-second exposure.

And finally for comparison, the two-lamp pictures also shown on the BISY light patterns page:

Here are the two halogen-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Fluorescent and an 8-second exposure.

And finally, here are the two LED-equipped BISY lamps mounted as noted above, using white balance = Fluorescent and an 8-second exposure.
