i put this in the Kubota section but It might be better posted here :


I built a canopy for my L235 and want to add 4 work lights. In the front I am looking at 55w 3X5 with trapezoid beams and in the rear I am adding the 5 inch round flood lights.

My question is - how much can the stock alternator/ generator handle? I do not think I would run all at the same time. The head lights are installed but not hooked up because they are worthless with the FEL installed.

Any thoughts ? Does anyone have pictures of canopy's with lights installed ?

if you find you can't handle four, consider the fact that you are (usually) either going forward or backward ...if you switch them differently you might consider a forward and a rearward on one switch and then the other two switched independently (3 switches) or switch each independently (4 switches) and manage the load yourself. The switches are quite a bit cheaper than installing a larger alternator.
