Bad Lighting For Troy-bilts
By Todd
Honey Brook, Pennsylvania
Review Posted 03/01/2010
I got the universal light kit for my Troy-bilt snow thrower. It went out after two minutes of run time.
When you advance the throttle from idle to fast it will burn out the bulb. Do not waste your time with this product, it is junk.
I strongly recommend you remove this product from the store and replace it with a light that can handle the power.

Wrong Voltage
By Jeff
Kennett Sq., Pennsylvania
Review Posted 02/20/2010
The Universal Snow Thrower light kit sold for my Troy Built Snow Thrower via Troy and Lowes does not have a 24v bulb and will burn out as soon as you increase engine speed.
The engine's alternator is putting out 18v AC while idling and will go up to 24v when at high speed. The light will burn out past 17v.
I cannot find a website for Arnold lights to get the proper 24v bulb -- so I'm returning the whole thing.
