Remus Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Been thinking about doing the dc conversion on my shee, but what will happen with the stator if I did the conversion and ran 2x55 watt bulbs? It will be for max half an hour. Will it toast my stator or will the battery take most of the hammering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) I'm sure I've read a stock stator can't be wound to make huge amounts of wattage, maybe squeeze an extra15-25w max. Also remember you lose wattage through a dc current Go with some led lights, I've just fitted some 6w gu10 bulbs in my kitchen and it's like having floodlights on!! Don't some of the trailtechs use a gu10 or mr16 type bulb?? Edited July 16, 2012 by Glenyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I tried looking for led's on fleabay, but nothing came up, and isn't the gu10 bulb a 220volt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I'm sure the mr16 is the same bulb that runs a different voltage. I'll have a looky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Mr16 are 12v, so you could put a led bulb in a trailtech unit. They come with a 35w halogen a 6w led puts out 50w equivalent. You may even be able to get more than a 6w led bulb That way you won't have to boost your wattage, just do the dc conversion Edited July 16, 2012 by Glenyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunes98 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Mattscss sells a very nice set of led lights. Also a great guy to deal with. Very helpful. I have a set of them on and they work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
