MadDog Lycan Auxiliary Light

The MadDog Lycan is where the range moves from a fixed combo beam to genuine dual-mode control. Each pair puts out 10,800 raw lumens off a pair of 40-watt Nichia LEDs, split 60% spot and 40% flood, but unlike the Scout-X, Delta, and Alpha, the two beams switch independently rather than firing together as one fixed pattern.

That means you can run the flood beam alone for city riding and fog, the spot beam alone for highway reach, or both together when you need everything the light has. It's a genuinely different way to use an auxiliary light compared to the fixed-beam models in the range.

Why Riders Pick the Lycan

The flood mode reaches 150 metres across a wide 180-degree spread, useful for lighting up the road edges and shoulder area in town or in fog. Switch to spot mode and you get a 250-metre beam for highway stretches. Riders who split their time between city commuting and long highway runs tend to prefer this over a fixed combo beam, since you're not compromising on either use case.

The Lycan ships with its own compatible Wire Harness Pro and Dual Switch Pro included in the box, which is what lets you control the two beams independently from the handlebar.

Specifications

What's in the Box

• A pair of MadDog Lycan lights
• A pair of clamps
• Lycan Wire Harness Pro
• Dual Switch Pro
• Screw kit and tail connectors
• Warranty card

Because the wiring and switch are already included and matched to the Lycan's dual-mode operation, there's nothing extra to buy before installation, aside from a mount if your fork or crash guard needs a different clamp.

Note for the team: please confirm with MadDog whether the Lycan's included harness and switch are interchangeable with the standard Wiring Harness Pro or Switch and Wire Harness Pro sold for other models, so this page states compatibility accurately rather than assuming it isn't.

How It Compares

If you want maximum spot-beam throw for high-speed highway riding and don't need much flood spread, the MadDog Rage pushes further with a 90% spot bias. If you want the most light MadDog makes with the same independent switching, the MadDog Prime is the flagship above the Lycan. See the full lineup on the MadDog brand page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I switch between the spot and flood beams independently on the Lycan?

A1: Yes, that's the point of the Lycan's design. The included Dual Switch Pro lets you run the flood beam alone, the spot beam alone, or both together, unlike the fixed combo beam on the Scout-X, Delta, and Alpha.

Q2: Does the Lycan come with a wiring harness and switch?

A2: Yes, unlike the Scout, Scout-X, Delta, and Alpha, the Lycan includes its own Wire Harness Pro and Dual Switch Pro in the box, since these are needed to run the independent beam switching.

Q3: What's the difference between the Lycan and the Rage?

A3: The Lycan runs 10,800 lumens per pair on a 60% spot, 40% flood split with a 250-metre spot throw. The Rage runs 11,600 lumens per pair on a 90% spot, 10% flood split with a longer 380-metre spot throw. Choose the Lycan if you want a stronger flood component, and the Rage if you want maximum spot-beam distance.

Q4: What warranty applies to the Lycan?

A4: The lights and included switch carry MadDog's standard 18-month replacement warranty against manufacturing defects.

Q5: Is the Lycan a good fit for adventure touring?

A5: Yes, the ability to run flood-only for technical or foggy sections and spot-only for open highway stretches makes it a practical option for adventure and long-distance touring riders.

Q6: Does the Lycan need a separate wiring kit?

A6: No. It's one of the few models in the range where the wiring harness and switch ship in the box, so there's nothing extra to buy to get the dual-mode switching working.
