SP4's are c**p, it couldn't even power a lightbulb in Science, that is the tiny ones you get in science. But then again that engine spurred me on to start a collection

They aren't crap, but they aren't as good as an SE2

Whether it could power a light bulb could be down to other factors, what dynamo you were using etc.... I think it could manage it!. The sp range are extremly good runners
