Useful accessory for accessories. And not unreasonable price. Close-up at the end ok, might have been better with a close-up cutaway or two while initially showing the product and the test rig? Thanks for the product review.
@@hartmoto2064 Thank you you are very polite and that was really useful as I am getting some lights and this makes things much easier. Are there any daytime lights you would recommend to get me seen.
@chrisbamborough222 have a look at the following amzn.to/3CpZS8P amzn.to/3CvrIkl The auxiliary lights will probably need crash bars or similar to mount them on, the daytime running lights are very compact and could be mounted anywhere on the bike, I hope that help 👍
@@hartmoto2064 Thank you the daytime running lights look appropriate at 40 lumens each the over 2000 lumens for the Aux lights are great for night time but for daytime road use maybe unless angled correctly a bit glaring. So the running lights I think. I've subscribed good luck with your Channel.
I purchased one of these recently. They are ‘ok’ and a cheap alternative to the thunderbox. My main gripe is the screw connections. I think they are designed for solid core wiring (and not strand) so they come loose quite easily. I might add some bare butt connectors to the ends and see if they’ll hold better. Apart from that, it works a treat. Spliced into my rear light for a switched live. I have spotlights, heated grips, USB and CarPlay connected to the box.
@pclaxton78 Oxford Products description states it has ignition shut off very much like there Hotgrips, I haven't installed it on my bike as yet, so I'm unable to test that part of the product, if it's a concern you could connect the junction box to a single switched live or place a small switch between the box and the battery, I hope that helps, 👍 P.S I have had correspondence from other customers stating the box was very easy to install and works well 👍
Came here hoping to see an installation on an actual bike. I bought one of these since they are considerably cheaper than a Thunderbox. Bit unimpressed with the instructions TBH. I have found out that I need to connect by splicing to an existing wire BUT can't find instructions on how to use the spicing kit. The other thing people need to know is that the device is NOT guaranteed waterproof so take care if fitting in exposed location or take measures to waterproof.
@@hartmoto2064 OK thanks. Can you also clarify something that isn't clear. In the demo you connected the two battery leads to the battery - fine. But then you connected the 'trigger' wire to the battery as well. This isn't recommended in the accompanying instructions as the trigger wire is supposed to be connected (spliced) to a ignition wire to tell the device the ignition is on. Although you've taken a shortcut my question is does the device take the power from the trigger wire or from the positive battery lead? In other words does the trigger wire simply tell the device to take power from the battery and it does not draw any power from the trigger lead?
@simonwalker1833 Hi apologies if I wasn't clear in my demo, when I do the proper installation video I will be connecting the trigger wire to the tail light on my bike as this is a switched live feed, I only connected the trigger wire to the battery on my demo to simulate turning on the ignition. To test for a switched live you will have to connect a test meter to the negative terminal on your battery and the other the test lead to the positive wire you have selected to use, switch the ignition on and the test meter will show 12v, turn the ignition off then voltage should then read 0v. Another alternative installation would be to connect an in-line switch (it will work but not recommended)from the trigger wire to the battery but you would have to remember to turn it on & off each time, I hope to make the installation video very soon, I hope that helps 👍 REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE CUTTING ANY WIRES TO AVOID SHORT CIRCUITS AND DAMAGE 👍
@@hartmoto2064 Thanks, perhaps I wasn't clear in my ques. I know how to use a multimeter to test for the switched live. My question is does the device take the power from the trigger wire- the switched live - or from the positive battery lead? In other words does the trigger wire simply tell the device to take power from the battery when the ignition is turned on?
@simonwalker1833 Not having access of the schematic diagram I wouldn't know for certain but I suspect / agree with you how the junction box works, once 12v is sent via the trigger wire it powers on the box, it won't power on without it, I can contact Oxford in the new year for clarification if that helps 👍
not the same as a thunderbox as you need to find a switched live for it go on and off with ignition, thunderbox can just connect straight to battery?
Thanks for the review. You may like to consider trimming the intro to max 10 seconds. We are impatient buggers 😀
@mageprometheus Thank you 😃. I have been considering changing the intro 👍
What is the maximum output for a single outlet and what is the maximum load of all four outlets?

@bensulu7339 great to hear. You could try soldering the cable ends so they don't separate 👍
@ Yes, thought of that too 👍🏻
Looks like an inflated Thunderbox but cheaper.
We all need competition for our motors.
Looks good for it's intended purpose.
Has it got a auto shut off for when the engine is off ,???

This is a rebranded box, there are probably a dozen brands of them on Amazon.
