Can any one help me find away to wire up 50 million candle watt lights on my roof rack? There will be 3 facing forword and 3 facing rear.


Thanks,

 

What do you need to know?? (the12volt.com)

You'll need to switch them with a relay and depending on their amp draw... So you'll have to figure out your total draw and size your relay and supply wires accordingly. You probably won't want the front and rear facing lights on the same switch so right there you will need two switches and two relays at a minimum. I prefer lighted toggle or rocker switches, but they require a ground (more wiring).

 

Thanks swart, will my alternator handle the power?



Thanks,

 

Depends on the amp draw of the lights and all the other stuff you are expecting to power at the same time. If you know the true wattage of the lights, then the amps == volts/watts

 

Well the items that i will be running will be parabolic ear, night vision video cam, digital recorder, laptop.



Thanks,

 

what the hell are you doin with all that stuff lookin for Bigfoot

 

Well before any one laughs "I'm not crazy" I am a investigator for a research center based out of oklahoma (MABRC). I investigate many "unidentified" animal reports in the midwest there are some that i find are hoaxes, but many are well could not explain. I work with a wild life biologist and a primatologist. We have confirmed 6 Mt. lions in northern wisconsin in our investigations. I do this because it is educational and i enjoy the outdoors.there have been many reports from all types of people (average 723 a year) that have not been explained with conventional thinking.


Thanks,

 

Wow, thats an interesting job... I guess you get to do some offroading and trail-riding in your job too?

 

Sounds cool, I would love a job that paided me to go offroading.

 

Well this isn't my fulltime job i don't get paid for it. Although i do get some reambersment. But i do enjoy trail ridding and there have been some really remote places i have been. That is why i'm spending so much time working on my blazer to get it up to par that when next time some thing desides to run me out of the woods i can turn the tables and run it out, well maybe anyway. LOL


Thanks,
