Has anyone done the PowerDynamo 12V conversion AND switched to 12V LED bulbs? I'm thinking of doing the switchover this winter.

A list of 12V LED bulbs would be really helpful!

Cheers,

If your 6 volt charging system is working I would not change it
If you upgrade to this headlight bulb and change the other bulbs already listed you will have plenty of spare power just by changing the headlight bulb and tail/brake bulb
# FC2A headlight bulb
# AA2A tail/brake bulb

FC2A bulb
Our new "Double Dipper" range of bright white direct replacement LED bulbs is the answer to this age old problem.

Replaces standard twin filament headlamp bulbs.

Multi voltage - Each bulb will work on both 6v and 12v systems (one bulb suits both voltages)

Positive and negative earth variants

Absolute minimal current consumption

1/2 an amp on dipped beam - 1 amp on high beam on 6v systems

1/4 of an amp on dipped beam - 1/2 an amp on high beam on 12v systems

Perfect for even the most feeble charging systems found on many pre and post war bikes with 40 watt Lucas, Miller and BTH dynamos - E3HM, E3N, DVR etc

12 volt

Post by jwonder »

I did the 12 volt power dynamo conversion on mine simply because I was restoring the entire motorcycle, wiring harness and all. I also did not have a good feeling about the old generator and the way it looked. Because of that I upgraded and I am very happy I did. It’s a great system, but if yours is already working your not going to get much out of it and IMHO it’s money not well spent unless you have a problem.

If you are looking for brighter lighta read higher in the thread. They are super bright.

If you have other questions PM me.

Update from Peter

"Hi Don,

We’ve re-designed the FC2A headlamp bulb to give a better beam pattern but our manufacturer are taking their time producing a sample for us to test, hence the delay in re-stocking.
I will flash it up on our homepage as soon as we have them and you and others can then order.

Meantime, can you spread the word via the forum as I see several others are saying they haven’t had replies from me.
I have replied to all emails but I’m getting random bounced back emails from some addresses (not just these).
I have re-sent them but still they bounce back even though the email address seems correct.

Emailed Peter, who replied the FC2A has been redesigned, not out of manufacturing yet. Was hoping Nov 2018 but the pc board was not mfgrd correctly so there's been a delay.

12V LED Bulbs

Post by herbg »

As mentioned above, I am completing the 12V conversion this winter which means that all my 6V LED bulbs
need to be replaced.

Has anyone switched to 12V LED bulbs? If so, a listing of the bulbs and a vendor would be helpful.

Thanks,

Headlight BA20D
#FC2A 6-12 volts

Brake/Tail Light BAY15D
#CB2A 21/5 W 12 volt red diffused

Parking Light BA9S
# AD1A or DE1C 12 volt clear

Plate light BA15S
# CB1B 5W 12volt clear







Also bought the 1157 brilliant red" from "iBrightstar" on Amazon for my Tail/Brake light that Jon has mentioned and works very well
Much better than original and uses much less current

Just received new redesigned headlight bulb FC2A today
Nice and bright in garage
Will field test this spring

1 amp on high beam on 6v systems
Current X Voltage= Watts
High Beam 1x6= 6 Watts !!!
