UK riders will be able to purchase the innovative controller from the UK Denali distributor, R&G and its network of dealers.

Thanks to the electronically fused circuits, the halo switch can also display, and allow you to select, the fuse values for each circuit.  If a fuse trips, the LED halo will turn red, providing realtime feedback and allowing for resetting the fuse It can also double as a battery monitor, with a low-voltage cut-off feature, and the industry-first-designed halo will flash different colours on startup to display battery health.
The DialDim™ Lighting Controller also features Stealth Mode, which features a 0% dim setting on the switch, ensuring the lights will be off during normal driving conditions but can jump to 100% intensity with the high beam switch.
