Amps??

[Sage]

I hate bugging the suppliers so I'll ask here..(I'm in business and I do know taking their time is money).

How many amps do the various configurations use?? I'm looking at the fog lamps in the lower bumper holes and the small ones beside the lic plate. I would also be interested in the longer bars.

If you would, please post a photo of what you have and amps used for each.

I'm trying to figure out which switches I'd need to use. thanks in advance.

We love to help out.

Are they M&R products? If not what brand?

I haven't looked at specific brands yet. I wanted to see what's in use by others. It's something on the planning list and I'm looking at what I have available as far as the factory switches. I want to use the low amp switches first if possible and save the high amp for future projects but I have no idea what the amp loads are for the various lights I'm seeing on trucks.

Amp=Watt/Volt

So two 35 watt HIDs would be 70/12=5.83 amps

I see the LED's listed at Lumens. How do they compute??

They don't. Most LED manufactures spec sheets list watts. I checked rigid, they actually list amps too.

Depending on the Rigids, the Duallys pull 1 amp and the D2's pull just under 2 amps each light. Just give me a call for tech specs

Amps are going to vary depending on which light and which manufacturer. Many companies run their lights at different percentages.

Most companies advertise theoretical lumen ratings which are very innacurate and most of the time can not fully be achieved. Where as Baja Designs calculate the actual lumens.

There is many factors that affect a light then just numbers

If you ever have any questions about any light products we are more then happy to help
Thanks
