AC or DC from CDI, and adding a 12v sprayer!

[Tarmop]

Hello all,
I have an 83 200
no electric start. no rectifier.
wire diagram shows ac from stator/alt going to cdi, and also to light switch.
but shows Lights at 12v45W
so that to me says DC.
but the stator/alt puts out AC.

is it being rectified in the cdi?

or are the light bulbs themselves using ac and turning it to DC?

trying to see if I can run a sprayer with a 12v pump off of the system somewhere, maybe put a battery on the sprayer and use a wire from the lighting wire to send some dc voltage to the battery to keep it from draining.

thoughts>
knowlege?

cheers

If there was no factory battery most likely it doesn't have a rectifier.

That means it's coming out AC and you have to make one up, you can with some diodes if you can make a little circuit board or you can get a used rectifier...
