Depends on what spotlights you use. Most spotlights runs 10W LEDs. So 20W max for the pair. Add another 20% loss, it's 24W. So that circuit only 2A.
If you got a really high wattage spotlights or multiple off, then just split the circuit lor. I prefer to split the circuit anyway so it's easy to trouble shoot in the future. But if both sets run of a 2 way switch, then you will only have 1 circuit to the switch. You will not have both sets on concurrent correct? If you have then concurrent to one switch...the. You need to run a higher amperage fuse.
Don't know about you, but my 10W spotlights are damn bloody bright already.
But a word of caution though, if you DO indeed do midnight runs, better get a wide spread floodlights..or aim your spotlight
out to the side for cornering illumination... .and don't go too bright. Because if the lights are too bright, it's easy for your eyes to adjust to the bright lights close to you and it makes the dark environment further away all that more difficult to see. Sometimes too bright lights are not necessarily a good thing.
I'm running these on my bike. Have them on all the time...even daytime. Have a switch but I just leave them on. Been on the bike 2 years now. Small and bright and can be mounted anywhere. The heatsink is good on this one. Doesnt overheat. Cheap too. About 55 to 60rm a pair. I actually have a single unit on my bicycle running of a 12V custom liOn pack.


THIS MDL is currently installed on my bike with a 2x30A relays harness. basically the same spotlight as urs with a different housing/heatsink. but site says its 60w. i also have the same exact design (not sure of if diff specs) on the Z9 for the past couple of years. not used often though.
i ordered 2 other spotlights to replace a bulb based spotlight currently on the bike (which is on another 30A relay harness) as it sux so bad. not sure which one to install yet as space constraints may come into play. basically i ordered
THIS 9W and also
THIS 20W. both look more like flood lights to me.
basically i plan on powering these off the fuse box.
- 1 port for TPMS (with USB out) + 12V ciggie port + DIY gate remote
- 1 port for the MDL
- 1 port for one of the flood lights
- saving 1 port for now just in case i plan on adding more electronics like DVR or something
the unlisted floodlights may still be installed n was thinking of sharing with the other floodlight port for power source. all auxiliary lights will have their own separate switch.
for usage, i wanna be able to turn on all 3 auxiliary lights safely at the same time. though the likelihood of that happening is gonna be rare tbh...but u never know.
actually i was thinking of building my own fuse box which uses standard blade fuses and hooked up to a 30W or 40W relay but then i found this 20W prebuilt. but now, come to think of it, not sure if its a good idea to run all those lights off a single relay. perhaps each light may need their own relay to run safely
