HONDA makes a halogen round light for 60 bucks.  It's OK, but lets be real here, LED's are the Future, and they have lots of light for a little juice, so why isn't the Honda Snowblower equipped with one ?   I found a LED that has 5 - One Watt LED's, and throws 400 Lumens that would look great, if it'd work. It is a 12 Volt  utility light, for about the same price as the Honda OEM that I don't like.  I'm no Electrician, so I'm looking for advice here from somebody who is.  Also if not this light, is there one that would work that is an LED ?

I agree the LED's are much Cooler looking, but that isn't my reason.  The LED Light I picked would fit nicely on the panel between the two handles, and thus illuminate the engine, as well as the area ahead of the machine.  That way if the engine needs gas, or maybe just to be cleaned of something, I can see better.  I'm sure the Halogen light works OK, and it gets hot enough to melt snow, I just thought I'd check out the LED possibility before I buy the Honda accessory light.  The LED draws 1.9 amps which isn't much, and the Halogen light Honda sells is a 50 watt Halogen bulb, both lights run on a 12 Volt system.  I just don't know if the electrical output of the engines stator would be too much for the LED to handle. I was hoping someone on the forum would know, but so far no luck.  An e-mail to the on line seller has not been responded to, so I may just go with the Honda light.
