Dynamo type.

Hi all.
At the moment i have a 60 Watt E3LM fitted on my WDCO.
I was thinking to get back to an original 40 watt  E3HM.
Some say the 60 watt is better for normal driving and charging.
6 volt system, ectronic regulator, 35 watt BPF headlight (needs to be changed sometime to original) and a to LED modified rear light with 2 6 volt 6Ah sealed battery's.
Thanks, Sipke

With a modern type 35W headlamp bulb (originally 24W) and probably a 21/5w stop tail bulb the E3 dynamo would struggle to keep up with headlamp on. But we now have the benefit of  LED bulbs. 

I've used this guy for quality LED bulbs including a straightforward fit stop/tail  https://www.dynamoregulatorconversions.com/stoptail-lamp-bulbs-shop.php

The only electronic regulator I would recommend is the DVR2 which unlike others, will still cut in when the battery voltage drops low. http://dynamoregulators.com/dvr2.php

I have no association with either firm.   Ron

Thanks Ron.

It was allready fitted when i bought the bike.

if this one dies somtime i will have a look at the DVR2
I will take a look into the led bulbs as soon as i have the correct fitting.
The rear light is a repro Mt221 that is allready converted to LED.
For the looks i like the E3 dynamo better due to Originality, but with the current setup the 60 watt seems to be the better choice at the moment.
