Any issues how?
Yes, you can add them. It won’t be a problem, just make sure the switch or lights selected doesn’t drain the battery.
I’ve added led light bars to a couple of my mowers. Just wired through a relay to a switch on the panel. Some mowers even come with blank spots for a switch.

My local dealer added led lights to my bad boy mower when I bought it. It had a blank fir the switch on the dash.

Battery size was the only thing that I was concerned about but I guess YouTube would have been the best place to start.

Nilight has some nice wire harnesses on Amazon, with relay and switch.

I'll check that out. Wiring things isn't my strong point, LOL.

You have to verify that the alternator (or whatever charges the battery) produces enough amperage to run the light(s) you are adding. That said, LED lights draw relatively little power when compared to old incandescent bulbs.

You’re an a-hole if you need lights on your mower.

You are smart if you add lights.
You can cut grass when the blazing sun has gone down.
Less heat and no skin cancer.
Added two on front of Bad Boy and two ambers in back so some nit wit doesn’t run over me when cutting by edge of street.

Not true... if you drive a F250 or bigger and both you hi and low led headlights are on at the same time.... THAT'S AN a-hole.

Dealer added LED's to my grasshopper for like $250.
With the Toro I have now I just take one of the Milwaukee battery powered lights that have a magnet on the bottom and stick it out front in between my feet. Works perfect.

brother, if you can't put on a dry fit shirt of some sort, a hat and sunscreen and mow during daylight hours, its time to contract that chore out. NObody wants to hear you mowing your yard after dark or before sunup.

I’m assuming this baw ain’t firing up his mower at 9 PM.
The practical case for lights on the mower is in the fall. Work during the day and get home at 5:30. Start cutting around 6:30 PM and need the lights to finish up when it gets dark early.

Don't go stupididly large.
The issue isn't the battery. The issue is some stators barely produce any extra power. The battery capacity id the bandaid.
I have a single flood pod on one. The other has a 20in flood on it.

No but why? You going to mow at night?

Sorry if I don't have a landscaping crew and that I actually cut my own grass. Do I plan to cut at night, I doubt that but I've gotten a late start before when it's cooler and gotten too dark to see where I've cut, but didn't want to wait till thw next day to finish up. Therefore, lights when needed isn't terrible thing.
Do you own a tractor or know someone that does?? Does the tractor have headlights??? If so, then why, are you operating a tractor at night?

Excuse the subdivision trolls.

Two 2 inch x 3 inch led on front and two 3 or 4 inch round ambers in back.
4 years and zero battery issues from lights on Bad Boy ZT
When I turn, lights up the front of my neighbors house across the street like a SWAT raid. He could care less…..
