I was told that Halogen and sealed beam bulbs will only work properly with the use of Alternators and not generators. Was I misinformed?

Thanks

Reference post #15 in this thread for the Halogen bulbs I use in stock '35 headlights with stock headlight sockets, an original '35 Ford generator, with a Fun Projects electrictronic voltage regulator that looks like a cutout sitting on top of the generator that's in my Avatar '35 fordor sedan. This is NOT a trailer/garage queen. I have driven this car over 30k miles since I have owned it with these Halogen bulbs installed.
Not sure who is telling you what, but if you talk to the folks who make/sell these bulbs, they will tell you that these particular Halogen bulbs do not draw the high current as the earlier generation Halogen bulbs did. Their website and a contact person is listed on the box pictured in that post.
