The voltages below are with the tractor not running. Four LED lights drop the battery from 12.2 to 12.1 VDC, and as I said the battery is just about gone. Any other type (incandescent, halogen, whatever) of high output light would drastically load the battery or charging system. Some folks prefer incandescent for the originality factor, and I respect that. Unfortunately each of my tractors has a job, and performance is my priority. Does you Magnum have a voltage regulator in the air shroud or is it a 3 amp unregulated?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
