Nicely done, most folks try to test out their turbines with a car head light
and the turbine just peters out and they get discouraged that it wont light
up the light.
It doesn't work that way. The battery is there to let the turbine come up
to charge voltage or cut in voltage and a dump load, or in you case a head
light is for over voltage protection.
The wind turbine wont power the head light directly, it has to go though
a battery to let it spin up. I've always found enough load to stall the turbine
if needed. It can be a hair raising experience to try a new turbine and no
idea how it will behave.
Sounds like you have some good wind?
If so it might be time to add a furling tail and have it be automatic and not worry.
