The light switch is a control that allows the rider to control the motorbike's lighting system. It is usually located near the handlebars and provides various functions.
This allows the rider to switch the low beam, high beam and sometimes auxiliary lighting such as fog lights or daytime running lights on and off. By simply pressing the switch, the rider can select the desired light function.
Some motorbike light switches have additional functions such as activating the turn signals, operating the horn or switching on the hazard warning lights. This makes the light switch a central control element for various electrical components of the motorbike.
It is important to operate the light switch correctly to ensure both your own visibility and safety on the road. It is recommended to switch on the low beam while riding and to use the high beam when necessary to increase visibility. Correctly switching on the turn signals also supports road safety by clearly signalling to other road users.
