Mini-Generator for 6 Volt Lighting Systems

- Get this SUPER DYNO Mini-Gen to produce electricity for your motorized bike lighting needs.

- This "Mini-Gen" is a mini generator and will produce reliable electricity for all common 6v 3w headlight systems.

- This generator will run lights as high as 10 watts, but for best all around performance, a 3 to 5 watt lighting system is recommended.

- Just install into magneto case using the 2 rear magneto screws.

- Route red (output) wire through wire harness.

- The red wire from the MINI GENERATOR will send electricity to your lights through a light switch or connected directly for continuous light.

Mini-Generator Connected to Volt Meter

- Here is the Mini-Gen's voltage being measured.

- The Mini Gen here is producing a little over 6 volts for all 6 volt lighting systems and accessories.

- This is called a generator (which technically produces dc voltage), but this produces AC voltage.

- The engine speed here is around 900 to 1000 RPM which is just a little above idle speed.

- Most riders will produce this voltage at a slow speed of around 12 to 15 MPH.

- Higher voltages of around 12 or more is obtainable at much higher engine speeds, but 6 volts is recommended for all around best performance.

Mini-Generator Showing Current Draw

- The Mini-Gen is seen here hooked up to a common 6 volt / 3 watt bicycle headlight and tail light .

- This type of lighting is rated at around 500 milliamps (1/2 AMP), but it was tested on a fully charged 6 volt battery and used about 0.435 amps (or 435 milliamps).

- Here in the photo you see the light using 424 milliamps at just a little over idle speed.

- Unlike most LED lights, regular light bulbs will run off both AC and DC voltage with no problem.

- Caution:- Avoid revving up the engine with lights on because high revs for more than 5 seconds can immediately blow the bulbs.

- High speeds while driving is perfectly o.k.

Example of a 6 Volt Lighting System

- A photo of a popular 6 volt / 3 watt bike lighting system is seen here.

- This ad is for a Mini-Gen only and does not include lights.

- Check out our other ads for Mini-Gens which include lights and other accessories.

- Please note that some 6 volt light bulbs will perform better than others.

- A 6 volt bulb of higher amperage or wattage rating does not necessary shine brighter.

- Bulb design plays a very important part in brightness and display pattern. Suitable 6 volt bulbs are available at out store.
