I run 160W main beam and 100W dipped - if the car is idling when you switch
them (main beam) on it almost stalls the engine when the alternator draws the
current to light them!! - current drawn on main beam = almost 27 Amps (more
than entire output of dynamo! which is why I have an alternator fitted).

Also because the dynamo output is either 22 Amps or 19 Amps running high
wattage lamps can run it close to its limit when it is charging at full power.
