MadDog Prime Auxiliary Light

The MadDog Prime sits at the top of the range, and the numbers make that clear straight away. Each pair delivers 23,028 raw lumens off a pair of 75-watt Nichia LEDs, more than double the output of the Rage, with a spot beam reaching up to 618 metres and a flood beam covering 300 metres across a 180-degree spread.

The spot and flood beams switch independently, and the included dimmer lets you dial brightness up or down rather than running the light at full output regardless of the situation. That combination, extreme distance when you need it, wide coverage when you don't, and dimming in between, is what makes the Prime an all-rounder: highway touring, off-road adventure riding, and everyday use on one bike.

Why Riders Pick the Prime

Riders stepping up to the Prime are typically running larger adventure or touring motorcycles and want one lighting setup that handles everything from technical off-road sections to sustained highway speed, rather than compromising with a fixed-beam light. The 618-metre spot throw is the longest in the MadDog lineup by a wide margin.

The Prime also adds horn and flash-to-pass integration through its included switch, letting the light tie into functions you'd normally only get on a dedicated auxiliary lighting setup with additional wiring work.

Specifications

What's in the Box

• A pair of MadDog Prime lights
• A pair of clamps
• Prime Wire Harness Pro
• Dual Switch with dimmer
• Filter set
• Screw kit
• Warranty card

The Prime is the most complete kit in the range, with the wiring harness, dimmer switch, and filter set all included rather than sold as separate accessories. One important note on coverage: the 18-month replacement warranty applies to the lights and the switch, not to the wiring harness or the filters, so handle those two components with the same care you would any other wiring accessory.

Fitment

The bundled clamps fit standard fork diameters. For crash guard or bar-clamp mounting on larger adventure and touring motorcycles, a suitable aftermarket mount may be needed depending on your bike.

How It Compares

If the Prime's price and output are more than you need, the MadDog Rage and MadDog Lycan both offer independently switchable beams at a lower price point and output level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How far does the MadDog Prime throw light?

A1: The spot beam is rated to 618 metres, the longest throw in the MadDog lineup. The flood beam covers 300 metres across a 180-degree spread, and both switch independently.

Q2: Does the Prime come with a dimmer?

A2: Yes, the included Dual Switch has a built-in dimmer, so you can reduce brightness for in-town riding rather than running at full output all the time.

Q3: Is the warranty on the Prime the same as the rest of the range?

A3: Mostly, but with one difference. The 18-month replacement warranty covers the lights and the switch, but not the wire harness or the included filters.

Q4: What's included in the Prime kit that isn't included with other MadDog lights?

A4: The Prime is the only model that ships with a dimmer switch and a filter set as standard, alongside the wire harness. Most other models in the range sell these as separate accessories.

Q5: Is the Prime suitable for off-road and adventure riding?

A5: Yes, the flood mode suits technical or slower off-road sections and the long spot throw suits open highway stretches on the same tour.

Q6: Does the Prime integrate with the horn or flash-to-pass function?

A6: Yes, the included switch supports horn and flash-to-pass integration, which most other auxiliary lights in the range don't offer without extra wiring.
