Not so much the wattage - even though that is the correct term. Use the same type of LED you used for the front. Something like this will not tax your dyno.

these are a little more than ONE amp each :

Thanks,so it's amperage I should focus on? Should I try and stick to something around a single amp,or what is a range to concider?
The one you provided a link to is not avaliable to me,I'm Canadian,can not use Amazon.com,amazon.ca has a different selection

I bought a 4 pack of similar ones on Amazon for $35ish dollars, Put two on the back of the Kubota & two on the front of my Zero Turn mower. although they are more of a spot beam, at 10'-14' out its still a 10' wide spot (That looks like the Sun is shining in that one spot :) Lol ) Ive left my mower out in the rain and didn't have any issues with the lights getting foggy...

X2 on the cheap but highly rated LED's on Amazon. I have them on several of my machines and I'm VERY happy with them! So far no fogging, they stand up fine to vibration, and are BRIGHT with low power draw! Try to order the floods but they often ship you spots even when you order floods....however like people have said, the spots still shine an area larger than your tractor so its not a huge issue.
