Thank you to those kind souls who replied to my query.
I have discovered that somebody wrote a lengthy article in Nov. 1995,
titled "Re: Headlamps, auxiliary lamps".
Aside: Unfortunately, I am unable to contact them directly, as the
address header only shows the mailgroup, i.e. triumphs@autox.team.net.
This is a real problem when writers don't include their individual
addresses in the text.
End of aside.
Chris Kantarjiev, was this you?
Are you able to email me your article at
http://www.team.net/sol/tech/light-up.html, as I don't have Web access,
please? My internet address is apparently shown at your end.
Dave Massey, good morning.
If you think heaters are superfluous in Australia, you have not been in
Canberra on a winter's morning!
Yes, I am familiar with Ohm's Law. (However, you have left out the load
calculations for the tail lights and all the other electrical items).
Gentlemen, what I was trawling for was practical experience, amperage
calculations notwithstanding. BTW, you have both overlooked the
significant electrical load of the 110psi fuel pump for the Petrol
Injection - around 10A (and the overdrive relay!).
Just kidding - thank you for your interest.
