Replacement Bulbs for Bicycle Lights

Bulbs for Generator-Operated Lights

All of the bulbs offered in this section are for 6 volt systems. Virtually all modern 6-volt generators are designed to put out 3 watts of power.

If you're using your generator to power a headlight only, a 3 watt bulb is best.
If you're running a headlight and taillight from the same generator, use a 2.4 watt bulb in front, .5 watt rear.

Generator bulbs come with two different types of bases:

Bayonet (Flanged) Base	Threaded Base

Bayonet (Flanged) Base Generator Bulbs

Threaded Base Generator Bulbs
