Hi all,
I have a S06S/S-LCD6 controller/LCD. I've just invested in an ebay 12-85V led light after my battery light plunged me in to darkness on a steep downhill on a country lane on the way home from work..

It comes with a separate handlebar mounted switch, but the wiring is not long enough to reach to the frame bag where the controller and battery leads are available in the dry.

When I turn on the LCD backlight it gives me the impression in the manual that it can switch on an external light as well, but I don't think there is a 'lights' wire on the controller.

Has anyone come up with a cunning way to turn on the lights, or should I just get some long wire to extend the switch back to the controller bag ?

My controller has a light switch but couldn’t find a wire. I added an eBay 12-85 led and used a separate handlebar mounted switch. Works great. I also have smaller leds that are just on when the power is on.

Yep I turn on the bike, the lights are hardwired to the controller power wires. I ride with the lights on 24/24, 7/7, twelve months a year. Helps a lot with priority at stop signs and roundabouts I have discovered.
