I just bought a RR+ and was dissapointed in the "premium" light, I though something was wrong with it as it only had a small trapezoid of light, 10 feet in front of me...  I bought a (pair of) small LED lightbars (link below) off amazon that were listed as 9v-30v (12v) and I also bought a DC/DC stepdown converter from 48v to 12v, thinking and learning that it was essential. But today as I was installing I thought I'd try going directly to the headlight and If I ruined one LED light I'd still have another to hook up correctly... to my surprise the light works just fine, no buck/stepdown converter needed...??? what am I missing? does the lightbar have more than a 9-30v variable converter inside? is it a matter of time before it blows?

Now, I'm not sure that this is OK or if I'm burning the LED's up faster or if it is dangerous to do this (I cant find anything online). but it seems to be working.... Please chime in and tell me if im crazy!
