Review on πŸ”† High-Power 1156 Turn Signal LED Bulbs - Ultra-Bright Amber Yellow 2 Pack by Hugh Starr

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic for a lawnmower ride!

These lamps are ideal to replace many different mowers. There are people who leave bad reviews for not working with mowers or patchers, but they have no idea what they are talking about. Most self-propelled lawn mowers have a "dual coil" alternator, which means half the power is DC for the battery and half is AC for the headlights. This is because they use regular incandescent bulbs and work great on AC. These LED lamps are NOT designed for operation with unregulated AC voltage! That's why they flicker, and that's why they don't last very long. The solution to this problem is to buy a $10 B&S dual circuit regulator. He takes both halves of the alternator, converts them to DC and combines them. Now you have more energy to charge your battery and no flickering lights! If you are using an unregulated AC circuit you will generate about 18 volts at full throttle. This goes beyond what the LED is designed for.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Without automatic
