If I were to add 110 watts of lighting to my Hawkeye, would the Magneto hold up? Has anyone done this?
Here are the lights:

it would depend on how much the charging system puts out. it would be a drain on it if you had anything esle like a winch.

 

I tried on an older polaris and it was too much. there is an internal circuit breaker that blew that resets itself after the load goes away. I bought and used 2-35 watt bulbs no problems after that. Doc

 

Doc,

I am not against going with the 2x35's... I'm totally fine with it, as long as I know my electrical system would still charge fine. How do I find out what the charging system will handle?

Thanks again in advance!

I want to say I read it a manual, something like 150 watts. Then of course I tried it and they were right. The 35 watt bulbs were on ebay cheap.

 

check out the trailtech HIDs, they only use like 11watts or something (im sure i'm completely off) but no near the wattage of Halogen and put out alot more light. They're reasonably priced for HIDs.
