True enough. If I ever find a hard case of an officer he probably could cite me for an over-powered light. It has not happened in over 25 years of commuting in two states and three different counties so I will stick to it. Besides it is designed to draw 100 watts at 13 volts when on an aircraft and I run a 12 volt system so it aint so bad.

(At 13 volts it is meant to last 50 hours - it is a landing light after all. Can you spell over-volted? I knew you could. If ordered to drop to 65 watt I will but I'll go to a halogen cycle bulb and get as much light anyway. Any comments if I got a 65 watt H.I.D. light? Now that would be over-kill )
