Default Dyna Alternator Output

I'm interested in adding some extra lighting to my LR. Can anyone tell me what the actual output of the alternator is?

I've got heated grips, heated goves, heated liner, and a lighter that pushed in every 20 minutes or so. No problem!!

Amperage is regulated @34-38 amps, though @ 3600 RPM.

I'd use a relay for the extra lights though if they are Halogen so you don't overload the circuit ... the battery and Alternator should be fine.

Should be in the high 30's, close to 45 on start-up.
