RiderNav Q5 Pro Delivers 22,000-Lumen Output

RiderNav has introduced the Q5 Pro Motorcycle LED Auxiliary Lights, a high-output lighting system aimed at adventure riders, touring enthusiasts, and motorcyclists who regularly travel after dark. The system combines a claimed 22,000-lumen output with flexible control options, including native integration with the BMW Wonder Wheel on compatible motorcycles.

Instead of relying on a single focused beam, the Q5 Pro uses a hybrid optical layout designed to cover different parts of the road simultaneously. It is built to illuminate distant hazards while also improving visibility along road edges, corners, and nearby terrain.

Hybrid Beam Covers Distance and Road Edges

The lighting system combines a concentrated long-throw center beam with a wider flood pattern. According to RiderNav, the usable beam reaches beyond 200 meters, giving riders more time to identify obstacles, animals, damaged road surfaces, or unexpected bends on poorly illuminated routes.

The flood portion provides broader peripheral coverage, which can be useful on rural roads and off-road trails where hazards may appear outside the motorcycle’s standard headlight pattern. A dedicated yellow daytime running light also helps make the motorcycle more noticeable to other road users during daylight hours.

For low-visibility conditions, riders can add an optional Amber Lens Cover. It changes the white output into high-intensity amber light, a color commonly used to improve visual contrast when riding through fog, rain, dust, or snow.

Two Controllers Support Different Motorcycles

The Q5 Pro is available with two controller paths. The RLC CAN-X Controller targets compatible BMW motorcycles and connects through model-specific adapter cables without requiring wire splicing. It allows riders to select four brightness levels through the motorcycle’s factory Wonder Wheel.

The BMW-compatible setup can also synchronize the auxiliary lights with turn signals and activate a strobe warning when the horn button is pressed. Listed compatible motorcycles include the BMW R1300GS, R1250GS, R1200GS, R1250RT, K1600, F750GS, and F850GS, although buyers should confirm model and adapter compatibility before ordering.

Owners of other motorcycles can choose the universal RLC3 Rotary Dimmer. Designed for virtually any 12-volt motorcycle, it offers physical rotary dimming, beam switching, and a hazard flash mode without requiring a smartphone application or touchscreen menu.

IP68 Housing and Automatic Heat Protection

Adventure lighting must handle water, dust, engine vibration, and changing temperatures. The Q5 Pro carries an IP68 rating, indicating complete dust protection and resistance to water immersion under the manufacturer’s specified test conditions.

Inside the housing, ceramic capacitors are used to improve resistance against heat and vibration. The system also includes intelligent thermal management. If operating temperatures rise beyond approximately 70 to 75 degrees Celsius, the lights automatically reduce power to protect their components.

Full output is restored after temperatures return to an acceptable level. This automatic protection should be particularly relevant during slow off-road riding, hot-weather touring, or situations where limited airflow makes it harder for auxiliary lights to dissipate heat.

A Powerful but Premium Auxiliary Lighting Setup

The RiderNav Q5 Pro stands out through its combination of high-output illumination, wide motorcycle compatibility, and optional factory-style BMW control. The universal rotary controller keeps the system relevant for riders outside the BMW ecosystem, while the CAN-X option offers deeper integration for supported models.

The Q5 Pro bundle is available now through RiderNav, with pricing starting at $711.20 USD or EUR 604.94. The company is also offering the Q5PRO25 promotional code for 25 percent off during the launch period. Purchases include a 90-day money-back guarantee and a two-year launch warranty, positioning the system as a premium option for riders who need serious nighttime visibility.
