What is the voltage and amps used for this light? Trying to determine if existing breaker will support it.

The light is 250 watts at 110 volts. P=EI. P = watts, E= volts, I = amps. The lamp uses roughly 2.3 amps.

I can't answer that question because I only use it on 12 volts in my motorhome. It puts out more light than the fluorescent fixture it replaced.

I really do not know. for my replacement I went with the voltage and amps and size. Mine was for flood spot light. Good luck.

So I'm not gonna sugar coat....the breaker opened at 4800w surge on test. Meaning 20a @ 240v. Might be the cheap Chinese breaker on the unit, might be a realistic shock load for it to bear.

I would day it is best to use a relay, unless youuse aheavy dutyswitch. Most switches are not designed to handle a load running through them, even though these lights only use about 5 amps to run both.

110/120VAC. You can see the AC/DC converter in the picture. It is separate and uses 5mm socket and plug pigtails to connect to the light unit itself. These are very well made and hard to find in 6k "daylight" versions. Unlike some, the clips and springs are very strong. The entire 2-piece light unit is cast metal. It's too bad they don't have a higher power (even 15W would be nice) version.

We use 20 amp also, however, I think it varies depending on the model. The instructions that come with each Go Light tell you the correct fuse to use.

I don't know what kind of light you have in mind, but the typical household light switch for lighting circuits is rated at equal, if not less amps, usually 15-20 amps. Unless you are using it for some higher output lamp, it should work fine. Remember, watts divided by volts equals amps. For instance, if you are operating a 75 watt bulb under a 120 volt circuit, you would determine the amps as 75/120 = .625 amps. If you are operating more than one bulb, be sure to add up all of the bulb wattages before you do the math. This switch is rated at 20 amps, so don't go over the rated amperage. The screw portion of the switch is right at 7/16 in. Be careful and good luck.

I am using a standard outlet, however, there is nothing else plugged into or using power on that specific breaker. If you're unsure about your wiring, you should really ask an electrician.

You can look it up online or in your manual. It looks like it's 15 amp. Also it would be good to check if there are many functions powered by the same fuse because that could cause issues.

The light only pulls 10 amps, so you can get a heavy duty rocker switch and wire it that way and be fine. I used a relay just because I could feed smaller wires through the firewall to the switch and if I wanted to at a later date add more lights controlled by the same switch.

Its a 21amp unit at highest pick a watt. 30 amp 2 pull breaker will do just fine.

I don't see .39 amps anywhere in the specs. The unit I have is very bright and based on comparisons to other lights it seems plausible that it's really 10W. It's bright, at least the one I have.

If you use it on a 12V system, I=P/U=36W/12V=3A. If you need a wiring harness and switch, you can search B00HMYIEGY, B00GQOGQMA, B00JB69438,or B00KHJ8ZTC. They all works with the light.

UL requires appliances to draw no more than 13.5 amps. A standard household circuit should be rated for 15 amps and should have a 15 amp breaker protecting it. This vacuum should not dim your lights. My suspicion is that you either have another draw on that circuit, such as a power strip (you can have more than one outlet on a circuit btw) so that the combined load trips the breaker, or you have a problem in your home's wiring.

I checked my batteries and both say "10.8/12 V" on them. I would suggest you recheck your batteries to see if they are the same as mine. I'm quite sure your batteries will work just fine for the light.

The spec. on the socket is 25v max and 5 amp max. The bulb you have is ok on the voltage but the amps is 6.25 which is to high for this socket.
