Gen light dimmy on


I noticed driving tonight that the gen light is dimmly (very dimmly)lit at
HIGHER rpm's and goes out completely at idle. This seems bassackwards, huh ?
This was with the headlights on. I also noticed that when any other elec
stuff was turned on, like the turns and brake lights, the gen light would
glow a litle more brightly. This time, if I upped the rpm, nothing would
change. What is going on ? The generator is stock, but the brushes look OK
(to a dummy though), any ideas ??? To recap, the gen is on very dimmly when
driving when electrical system is loaded somewhat, but goes out at IDLE rpm.
When all electrics off, the light never comes on. What the heck's wrong ?
