My exp with gennies runs the gambit of colors.. I've got some IH, JD, AC, lotsa ford, and a few odd pieces of industrial equipment. The gennies range from 7 a to 25 a depending on the machine. If you are running these extended lamps on units with maggies.. you have less of a problem as there is no ignition to support. I don't like running any charging system at 100% rated load for extended periods of time.. ( smaller amount of time at full load.. no problem.. heck.. short periods of over load are ok too. ). I've just seen to many gennies that sling solder if you run them at 25a and or full load.. or slightly overload for any length of time. I agree.. If nothing else.. increase rear tail light wattages to help visibility. As for foward visibility.. I'v not had a problem with my tractors that use a single 35w or (2) 35w front lamps.. I can easilly see way ahead of my driving speed ( no way to overdrive your lighting / sight distance on a slow farm tractor ). Ditto about the low rpm usage.. Gennies aren't efficient at low rpms. in fact.. some 3rd brush units actually have a charge curve that tapers off and flattens at higher rpms.. Every 6w of power used at 6v = 1 amp. Thus a: 15w lamp consumes 2.5a 35w lmap consumes 5.83a 45w lamp consumes 7.5a ..etc Soundguy

Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live
