Roof mounted lighting

I was looking at the kits that mount on the top of the windshield at allow 4-5 lights to be mounted. Just wondering if there are any effects on the bikes electrical system with all the lights on. I have noticed most people at running 55w lights which would seem to be a lot on the little batteries that I have.

Re: Roof mounted lighting

I don't know about roof mounted light, never ran them and don't have any desire too but I can tell you about the charging system on the engine.

On my Rincon I have a set pf PIAA 510 light, a 8" LED light bar, HID lights, and the Rubicon 3rd handle bar light, as well as hand and thumb warmers and a Warn 3000lb winch. I run a dual ATV battery system on her and haven't had any electrical issues. Now with that said I do shut down the hand and thumb warmers if I need to winch just to be safe, when I remember too.

The lights are all on at the same time, now with that said, if I had to do it all over again, I would run the following to ensure that I had pleanty of light vs power needed:

LED light bar, wide angle (fog light angle)
LED round lights (Driving light angle)
HID main lights

This would greatly reduce my electrical needs. My PIAA 510s pull more power then my HIDs or LED light bar combined. This is why I would spend the extra and go with a more energy efficiant light systems, they cost more but in the long run I think it is worth it.

Just my 2.5 cents.
