The Revmaster alternator is capable of producing 20A. This allows 33% excess capacity during normal high electrical load operations. Landing and Taxi lights are not considered "normal" loads and indeed their use places the system in a deficit situation. Therefore use of Landing and Taxi lights should be restricted to Take-Off, Landing and Taxi only.
