LIGHT QUESTION (WATTS)

(1/4) > >>

minty:
if i have x3 55w spot lights on each side of my car dose that make the circuit 165w or still 55w :?

Terranosaurus:
165w as long as you've got them in parrallel, if in series it would be a lot less and the lights would be really dim.

minty:
? :?  confused me even more now, all lights are working and are very bright but we are fittng a new relay into grasshopper and we ent quite sure if its big enoth to cope as the relay is 160watts and if correct i think the lights are running at 165watts but we ent sure

Evilgoat:
add up all the lights on the circuit, they should be wired in paralell then add 10% for safety sake and to deal with something called inrush current.

Relays are rarely rated in Watts though, in fact I cant say I've ever seen one rated that way.

Big Rich:
Minty

I have a book explaning the wireing and amps, Volts and watts.

You welcome to borrow it mate.
