"Just incidentally, on a 2.1l running 100 watts in the outer and 55 watts in
the inner lights, you're putting approaching half a horsepower of light down
the road (most of it infrared, unfortunately) and consuming about a third of
the alternator's capacity."

.... which is working very well for me. I have the Subaru 3.0 engine with
120AMP alternator and a 4 gauge wire direct from the alt. post to the
1315 separator. I like seeing clearly where I'm going at this age (67). ;-)
