Light-particles stable high-intensity beams (p, d, (3,4)He...) will be available from the Linac driver accelerator of SPIRAL-2. Yields of neutron-deficient isotopes as well as of neutron-rich isotopes (by means of reactions with secondary neutrons) are compared with those presently available at the SPIRAL-1 facility. We explore, for light beams (Z< 16) asked in the 'white book' of SPIRAL-2 (1), the production methods taking into account the in -target yield but also the feasibility of making such beams by the ISOL method (considering reaction, target, thermal and release properties). We discuss some of the tests needed and planned. A comparison with the present and potentially attainable yields at SPIRAL-1 is presented.
