| 1373840 | 2014-05-01 10:10:00 | The VW Beetles had 6v 45 watt bulbs. When used in a P700 headlamp and the regulator cranked up to get around 70 watts from a 60 watt Lucas dynamo, then it was possible to get a somewhat decent light, in as much as 50mph at night was now possible. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

Lol the good ol days when drink driving was a sport and not a crime and the traffic cops would let you off with a warning if you said you were a baggie. Most of the time it was leaving the baggies club for a feed after closing time that caused the problem. Some numbnutz students I had on Basic Engineering course drove to CH CH for a burger from Woodie valley midweek lol, I wondered why they were so tired in the classroom. |

| 1373843 | 2014-05-02 18:06:00 | To be fair, Miller produced systems that gave even more intense dark beams. For example, the mighty Black Shadow capable of 120mph+ was originally fitted with a 50 watt Miller dynamo and a Miller headlamp with a 24 watt main bulb. This used to produce an intense dark about 6 feet in front of the bike so that at night it was dangerous to exceed about 40mph. Who would question the English genius now? |

| 1373844 | 2014-05-02 21:24:00 | I found the Czechoslovakian manufacturer of electrical stuff called PAL to be of equally bad performance. The comment on the lucas generator bronze bush, I have seen them go to way over 200,000 miles before replacement they cost only a few dollars and took a second to get it out with a polished rod with grease on it. Jap alternator bearings wouldnt be much better if it all. | prefect (6291) | ||
