Is the effectiveness of the indicators not compromised by the close proximity and high brightness of the spot lights?
That looks decent mate! Not convinced on the white V on the screen though.These are the cheap 125w onesLook at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262749223644Its a mine field eBay at times!

The total lighting load on your generator would be 390 watts, that well over a third of a kilowatt.My lighting system total load is 200 watts, I have to admit I was a bit concerned about my generator having to work to hard when I first fitted them, but so far all is good. When I get back from a ride I plug the battery conditioner (Oxford) in straight away and it always goes straight to Maintain Mode, indicating that the battery is fully charged. On the other hand the Cree spots that you supplied the link for when I was first looking for spots they were between £28 and £32 a pair.It may well be that the generator would handle the added load of these 250 watt a pair spots. I am sure there is a foccer out there that could throw some light on the subject (Haha no pun intended)
I just ordered the same as Frosties, was gonna get 30w but they seemed a bit savage.Only thing bothering me is i read they should have their own on/off switch, but i'm looking into that.Sounds like a good idea anyway, i prefer stuff to be off to save the battery on start up.
