Wattage of rear lighting circuit?

[revoltlution]

I'd like to power my helmet light from the rear light circuit. Anyone know the available wattage?

Do any of you know the voltage range and available wattage to the front light circuit and rear running light circuit?
I'm about to upgrade lights for the starvation ridge 24hr race

- wanting to upgrade to this Baja Designs Squadron Pro (4900 lumens - 40W) kit.
- if not, I know this would work... Baja Designs Squadron Sport (3150 lumens - 26W) kit

Min to activate it is 4W and max is 40W.

revoltlution has an EX or EXR (not an MXR) because he is talking about rear light circuit and front headlight (not aux light) circuits. The headlight circuit is designed to constantly power a 35w filament, but usually these circuits are capable of powering up to a 55w filament. The EX and EXR bikes have the aux light circuit like the MXR but it is used to power an automotive 194 type bulb that is mounted in the same enclosure as the headlight.

I have installed the squadron sport on an EXR and it works. When I tried the squadron pro it flashed and then went off - must be some programming limiting the power output. Also Baja Designs sells a 3 prong adapter that allows you to plug into the Alta wiring harness with no modifications

Thanks for this info! I have the squadron pro coming in the mail. Looks like I need to change direction and order up the sport (and the connector kit)

You have a link you could share?

The 3 prong adapter is direct from Baja Designs web site

Great! Thanks @VINSANITY

Squadron pro draws 40 Watts, and the sport needs 20 Watts. The Alta headlight circuit is designed for 35 Watts.

I think you are right. I changed direction last minute, moving away from squadron pro (40W) to the new squadron sport (26W). I don't want to dick around, just want to get it working. Still the lumens compared to stock are rediculous.
