Thread: Wireing a spotlight?

Lead clips will do straight to battery, but put a 20-25amp fuse between the red lead and clip for positive side.
Would hate to see it go up in flames without the fuse. New bulb but don't touch the bulb with your fingers, use a rag.

Thanks,do you mean the crocodile clips? And I are asking a serious question not taking the piss?

Something is setting off alarm bells. What is the Wattage of the bulb? A 55W will be drawing just over 4A and a 100W just under 8A and neither should blow a 10A fuse.

Thanks I don't know what size the bulb was but will make sure I get a 100watt bulb.

You probably need to check out the wiring and connectors.

Oprah is coming......... EVERYBODY GETS DRENCH AND A SPOTLIGHT!!!!

Ok guys thanks for all the advice. I found the old cord for my cdax sprayer from my old honda.

Got some parts from town and went to a 50watt bulb.

Wired cord to battery then used a piece of wire to pull it up through the panels and up and out from the ignition.

Using 30amp fuse this time,lost one down the side.....bloody butter fingers. Anyway fuse attached

AND THERE IS LIGHT!!

Will go for a spin tonight and see how it goes.Got one round left for the shotty then that can get oiled and put away.Then the .22 will be on board the quad while I'm out there doing it.

I'd go back to a 10A fuse.

Power (watts) equals V (volts) x I (amps / current).

W\V - I W\I -V

VI The - is the best I could find to equals



We cooked the med lightforce cig plug, chopped it off put on bike battery clips, made up short bike clips to bulldogs. When spotlighting popped the bonnet clipped onto the battery and let the bonnet down gently... Could also put a bike battery in a pack and stuff...

Worked good tonight,was out about an hour before hell froze over


Seen two hares,no shots fired as to far away with shotty.

Seen two escapee flemish giants.

i cut the lighter plug off mine and put crocodile clips on and went straight to the battery way better and the light was brighter as well
