5A enough for led spotlights?
Maybe even 2 sets spotlights on 1 output?
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.
