DENALI DialDim versus CANsmart: welke is de beste Verlichtingscontroller?

Now that you've equipped your motorcycle with the best auxiliary lighting, you need a way to control everything to make sure it all works seamlessly together. Sure, you can wire up individual switches and relays for each set of lights, but no one wants a messy cockpit when there's another way.

A lighting controller like the DENALI DialDim or DENALI CANsmart will make your handlebars clearer and provide comprehensive control over your lights, turn signals and horn.

The two most determining factors in choosing a DENALI lighting controller are the year of manufacture, make and model of the motorcycle you want to equip, and the number of lights and accessories you plan to install. If we do not offer a CANsmart device for your motorcycle, the DENALI DialDim is the right choice. If a CANsmart is available for your motorcycle, the decision is a little more nuanced.

Control up to 2 sets of lights with the DialDim Controller:

If your lighting setup is simple and includes only one or two light sets, the universal DialDim is the perfect solution to easily wire and control your lights. Even if a CANsmart device is available for your motorcycle, a DialDim controller may be a better choice if you don't plan to coordinate more than a few accessories. The DialDim controller is available as a plug-and-play solution to easily connect to most popular motorcycle models. Don't get discouraged if your motorcycle is not on the plug-and-play list; connecting a DialDim controller to any vehicle is as simple as connecting a 12V power and ground line and tapping input from the standard high beam, turn signals and horn for which you want functionality.

Want on/off and dimming functionality only? Simply connect your DialDim to power and ground, and your light kit, and you're ready to go. Easily connect other inputs to expand the controller's functionality.

Our groundbreaking DialDim Lighting Controller features a switch with multicolor halo dimming that allows you to independently turn two sets of auxiliary lights on and off and dim them from a single consolidated wiring. The LED halo switch shows you exact settings and allows effortless dimming while driving. The blue halo controls light set one and the green halo controls light set two; simply double-click to switch between the two circuits.
The controller also has inputs for high beam, turn signals and horn to activate intelligent flash functions that allow you to cancel your auxiliary lights with your turn signal, flash your auxiliary lights as turn signals, or flash your lights when you press your horn. Last but not least, the switch halo acts as a battery monitor with a function for automatic shutdown when voltage is low. Our industry-first design will flash different colors at startup to indicate the health of your battery and automatically turns off your auxiliary lights when the battery voltage drops below 10.8 volts.

Our designers are constantly working on improvements to the DialDim, including the development of plug-and-play brake light and turn signal kits for the most popular adventure motorcycles. Keep your eyes open for further developments that will simplify the use of the DialDim on your motorcycle.

Full Control of Lights, Horn, Turn Signals, and More with DENALI CANsmart:

If a CANsmart controller is available for your motorcycle and you plan to use a comprehensive system of auxiliary brake lights, turn signals and other electrical accessories, the CANsmart is an excellent choice. The DENALI CANsmart Controller offers the most control and customization options for your lights, horn, turn signals, heated clothing and more. Perhaps the most convenient feature of the CANsmart is the ability to control all your accessories from your motorcycle's original handlebar controls.

The DENALI CANsmart Controller offers plug-and-play installation and integrated control of up to four accessories, allowing dozens of customizable settings that can be controlled directly from the BMW "WonderWheel" and the standard handlebar controls on KTM or Harley Davidson models.

If available for your motorcycle, the CANsmart controller is hard to beat. Not only are CANsmart's four circuits pre-programmed to independently connect and control two sets of DENALI lights, a SoundBomb horn and our B6 auxiliary brake lights, but the entire system is plug-and-play. That's right, when you receive your DENALI CANsmart, you have everything you need to easily plug in your lights and accessories and hit the road or hit the trail!

After installation, the DENALI CANsmart can be programmed to control your accessories and lights in a variety of ways. Some functions include:

  • High/Low Sync: Set auxiliary lighting to switch between a programmable high/low setting with the factory high beam switch.
  • Flash to Pass: Need to get someone's attention? Pulse your high beam switch three times and your auxiliary light will flash three times rapidly.
  • Strobe with Claxon: With this feature selected, the CANsmart™ software will automatically flash your auxiliary lights when you use your horn. This feature works whether you have the factory horn or the SoundBomb™ horn installed.
  • Switchable Power Source: The CANsmart™ provides a universal "accessory" option that gives you easily switchable 12V power. That means whatever accessory you connect to this circuit will turn on and off with your ignition.
