Indicators - Bulb vs LED ?

[lmfy2k]

Looking to replace the indicators on my hornet as they look huge, plus one of the rear ones is taped together from previous owner so a good time to change.

There are lots of aftermarket indicators , bulbs and LEDs

I know the LEDs ones need a relay but interms of safety and being seen are the LEDs indicators any good in day light ? I've been reading conflicting info on the Internet.

Some say LEDs have a very directional view unlike bulbs , night time they are spot on but in daytime they are not very good.

Also what halogens if a car hits you and they says I couldn't see your indicating as they are so small?

So my options are:

1. Stay with stock (put up with ugly but be seen, be safe)
2. Fit LED indicators (look amazing but maybe not as bright as bulbs?)
3. Fit smaller bulb indicators ( best of both worlds sort of!)

What are your thoughts ?

Anyone recommend any decent led indicators?

I know there is an oberon brand but at £61 for a pair they are a bit rich for me lol

How about any of the Oxford ones?

Wazza are they led or bulb?

Led,they are on ebay

Thanks. How's the indicators sturdyness? Are you able twist the arrow part around easily when the nut is tightened up? Or is it quite secure? I've read the cheap ones can be easily twisted. Which means it can slowly work its way around so the light flashes towards the floor

Seems "bike it" brand make the originals and Chinese have copied it

Does yours have a screw at back of the indicator?

Bike it bulb indies are around £10

Leds ones are about £16 on ebay

Decided against expensive indicators in the end, was nearly ready to pull the trigger on some rizoma indies but if I was to drop the bike or break an indicator it will be costly to replace.

Instead i have gone for a pair of genuine bike it arrow indies with bulbs (23w), £10 will see how it goes for now.

Thanks all for your suggestions
