Bit of a non-sequitur there; LED headlamps actually draw less power than 
conventional headlamps.  The ones I'm using only draw 20
watts on low beam, compared to 55 with the previous halogen lamps.

Sorry, I have no recommendation on model.  My previous conversion was with an 
old externally regulated Ford alternator; and while
overall it was a very positive move, the alternator was a bit big for the space 
available on a TR3A.  If there is a next time, I
plan to go with one of the smaller "mini" alternators from Japan.

main seal for TR2-4A).
