[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 121012, member: 2433"] For years I ran my Comet with the original 6V miller dynamo with a V-Reg 2 voltage regulator giving 12 V output. Regulator is mounted on the underside of the battery platform. I was aware of the slight risk of overheating the windings in the dynamo so I had LED tail light insert and low wattage headlight globe from Paul Geoff. I have recently gone all LED with one of the brilliant LED headlight globe units, again from Paul Geoff. No problems at all but I am running a magneto as well so no ignition load. I would think that trying to run a kettering ignition with any more than say a 35W headlight would be too much for the dynamo and it would self destruct due to overheating. Martyn [/QUOTE]
