T3: Re: Alternator


Keith Park writ:
+
+ Halogen bulbs draw LESS power than the regular ones.

	So the watts that my halogens are rated with are different
from the watts that silly-beams use?  Less wattage consumed per lumen
output, though.  The point behind upgrading the generator though, is
that with H4 lights, you probably won't stick with the 55/65w bulb
they're boxed with.  (Silly-beams are 50/60 or so too, so you won't
notice a difference powering the H4 upgrades)  You can buy H4 bulbs in
any flavor from vanilla 55/60w through tangy 80/100w to stoopid
100/160w.  (Aside: saw a car once with 100/160w H4 headlights, and
100w H3 driving lamps..  Yeah, 520 watts with the high-beams up. You
could turn off streetlights with it.)
