HID Lighting?
Johnniespeed:
Does that lighting coil ouput A/C or D/C ? I have a Moose lighting coil and never checked it. But if it is A/C and you are charging a battery, you will need to add a rectifier to convert from A/C to D/C.
Does Eline still make that big alternator for the 500 ?
Monster Malibu1:
Would we be able to run led lighting off the 35 watt coil?, I don't know much about the led lights but I was told they use very little pwer.
alward25:
All power coming from the stator is AC current. You need a rectifier to convert it to DC current to power HID, which is why you need a battery. Batteries are part of a DC current system. Eline does not make the 200w lighting system anymore due to build costs. I guess the make more money building carbon fiber stuff. Dc power is more consistent than AC because the light draws off the battery and the AC is basically pushing the current to the light based on the rpm.

I know my opinion of the e-line coil is a harsh one and not shared by all. I was wondering if you could give us a hint as to what you guys have decided to do as far as coil design goes. Is it going to be based off the E-LINE or are you guys going to do something new.
alward25:
Yes
