Yeah - the aftermarket 6 volt seal beam utility lights throw a lot more light than the original lights. I've stuck 'em on both my tractors for the same reasons as you.

As for controlling the charge rate, the light switch automatically puts the system into high charge mode in both the "D" and "B" (lights on) positions. For when you don't use the lights, I recommend keeping the switch at "H" if the tractor is gonna be run less than 10 - 15 minutes between starts, or whenever the temperature is below freezing. However for longer runs in warm weather, set the switch to "L" so as not overcharge the battery.

A couple ways to tell if the battery is being overcharged: If you have an accurate voltmeter stick it across the battery with the engine running at speed. A reading higher than about 7.4 says it's being overcharged. Or if you don't have a voltmeter simply unscrew a cell cap and have a look at the electrolyte. If you see lots bubbles it's overcharging. (A few scattered bubbles however are normal...)
