Headlight with parking light will save power.
My K6 is rather visible daytime with 10W LED. But that needs P on RH switch and HI-LO on LH switch as Euro bike had.

K2 had P-L-H on RH switch, an additional On-Off switch beside LH switch.

My headlight has LED H4 which take 30W, 25W less than std H4.

I have tried rear light with LED but all I tried where reall

Rear light is only 5W, 21W when braking which is a must to be bright, safety. Blinkers take some power too, but not for long.
Electronic ignition take more than points. Especially with 3 ohm coils.

 I did the euro style headlight/park lamp on a 400F. I got the right control from DSS and the Marchal headlamp from Yamiya. The LED park bulb lit up the headlamp good in the daytime. I even tried a blue LED bulb but it was so blue I figured the cops might be interested. There is a jumper wire under the tank that comes out. The switch went in with no cuts to the harness. (I assume it's in the headlight bucket on bigger CB's)

No matter how many times you paint over a shadow, it's still there.
