Light output and wattage Vs alternator output.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Whats your total wattage, just in spots? And have you had any dramas?[/b][/quote]

Lights as follows:

Headlights - 2x Fatboys 70/90w IIRC
170s on bar = 2 x 100w
XGTs on bar = 2 x 100w
140s on rack = 4 x 75w

Total forward light (in Watts on High) = 880w

plus
170 reverse/camping light on rear 35w

plus handheld enforcer Lightforce in vehicle

plus Surefire combatlight in vehicle...

Me likes lights :wink:

Cheers

OOps didnt answer the second part of the question.

Vehicle runs factort alternator and a pair of Exide Orbital Batteries.

Runs fine, although with ALL on its borderline and doesnt happen often anyhow.

I have a selection that I use depending on the operating conditions...

Eg: Top outer 2 and XGTs in tight roo areas...
or Top 4 and 170s on bar on sand at night for better drop off definition..

But yeah, touch wood, no issues yet.

Mike,

You've made the critical error of hurling an impressive but technical type post into the General Chat mosh pit...It reminds me of the Python cricket skit about an appeal due bad light..."you can hardly see the glass in front of your face" but on this occasion due to glare.

I suggest you refer to drivesafe's very nasty thread:

My total forward lights is only 570w, so I'm in brissy this weekend, might pick up a pair of XGTs. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
