To expand on this thought (since daddy's attention had to go elsewhere awhile) here's a clean short(ish) ohms law 101.
www.hamuniverse.com/ohmslaw.html
It focuses on Volts, Current, and Resistance mostly, but calculating power (in watts) is included at the end and in the final circle, plus the circle explains how to figure power from our known values.
Power (watts) is reeeeeeally good to know when figuring out how much power we -can- use (load) versus how much power we have available from the stator (supply).
Looking at that KC light, it's got a larger watt rating - like superbright - used for automotive stuff. Cars and trucks have a much bigger supply of stored (battery) and produced power (alternator) capable of powering loads of excess gadgets and lights.
Scooters on the other hand... not so much. The stator (micro version of an alternator) and the lighting circuit is in a very fine balance with very little wiggle room to add many accessories. So we have to count our watts kinda like it's on a diet lol
That said, go back over your stock headlight, check the wiring, and try to find a 35w-50w replacement perhaps. Check the tech on electrical to find some additional writeups on lighting.
Daddy's gotta go back to daddy-ing
