chrispy56 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 This is the stator i have http://racetechelectric.com/i-9530595-95-06-yamaha-banshee-high-power-dual-output-ac-lighting-stator.html Should I be looking for 100 watt lights or slightly less? Anyone have experience with these ones? http://www.trailtech.net/lighting/halogen/mr16 My frame doesn't have the factory light mounting tabs, so any universal light is fine by me. Just looking for opinions and ideas. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Gravel, why no LED? I plan on going with LEDs and my stock stator and a rectifier. Am I going to blow something up? I don't want to do the DC conversion with battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispy56 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't think led or hid will work with AC current. I was more curious about what wattage halogen to get and what others have used and been happy with. Would a 100watt halogen dim at idle with a 100w circuit?

Whitbread Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 70W worth of led light > 70W worth of halogen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispy56 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ok, so led is probably my best bet. Can anybody recommend a good rectifier? I have never used a rectifier, do I need one for each circuit or can one be used for both...I'm not sure how they work. Also, my stator is rated at 100 watts per circuit. Should I be looking for 100w LEDs or should I not max out the stator's capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitbread Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 You'll need 1 rectifier for each set of windings if you have a dual output stator. Thats why I always recommend a single 200W output unit. Much easier to wire. Heres a good rectifier. If you go led, you'll only need one rectifier as 100w of led is close to painful brightness. 20W of good led ights were more than twice as bright as 60W of halogen. The only downside to LED is the initial cost. They've come down quite a bit, but still aren't super cheap. In the lighting industry, you truly get what you pay for. Resist the $20 ebay led lights at all costs. My recommendations are http://www.trailtech.net/lighting/led/60mm-led http://www.trailtech.net/lighting/led/70mm-led http://www.visionxusa.com/product/led-lights/solstice-solo-prime/ http://www.visionxusa.com/product/automotive/solstice-solo/ - I had two of these originally and they were more than twice as bright as the 60W halogens they replaced. Now I have them on my bars with these mounted in stock location. The fleabay lightbars seem to work decently if you dont mind the look. I much prefer round lights on a banshee myself.

Justintoxicated Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) when you convert to DC you will lose some power, even with a battery I would try to stay around 120 watt total tops, less would be better. My phone isn't very good at night shots with hy dynamic range but here is my 10" handlebar mounted LEDs I got for dune riding. They are nice nice tall floody beam. I'll try to get better pictures with a real camera soon. The beam is more floody and less spotty than it looks, but the weeds are too with too much light on them so the camera darkens the rest of the picture. Still neighbors fence is pretty far away. This light bar is 50 watts Just the light bar. 10" light bar by Glamisduner, on Flickr IMAG0251_1 by Glamisduner, on Flickr Edited March 26, 2015 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
