The lights aren't as god awful as I made out. The loom is casa but the switch wiring is original serveta. I'm just after a more concentrated beam TBH.

The answer to that is for someone to redesign the reflector as per the late PX range.

Doesn"t really matter what type of bulb or wattage you put in a lambretta headlamp

The unit-reflector design is not up to parr :(

I use a 55/55W - H4 halogen in one of the gp"s ~ Fully dc - 11ah battery fitted

Bright ~ But the beam concentration is poor ~ Even when aligned correct

For safe-fast night riding I use a lucas fog ranger spotlamp fitted with a halogen ~ Not the headlamp

The fogranger"s are bigger than the Pathfinder"s generally fitted ~ They give a better light concentration

When it"s foggy instead of the spot use the foglamp ~ Again ~ Far superior than the standard lambretta headlamp

Using the lucas lamps going over the unlit Whitby moors certainly make me feel a lot more @ ease ;)

is this the one listed below ? if so how did you mount it?

http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/produc ... -spot-lamp

"When it"s foggy instead of the spot use the foglamp"

again is this the one listed below ?

http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/produc ... -lamp-5wft

so a pair of 55w lamps and a normal lammy headlamp will be sucking a lot of juice wattage wise

how did you wire them up?

i take it your using a 120 watt bgm stator and a DC wassel conversion
