So I read through these questions and some are saying that their bar came with a relay and switch. Why the inconsistency?

Mine didn't. Product info also states that it's just the light bar. I bought the relay and switch separately

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.

Yes there is a relay included. I do not recommend this horn. Way too high pitched of a horn tone. Not "manly" at all.

You're probably thrown off because it had two sets of terminals. That's so you can run these in series. You can attach neutral to either one of the terminals of one pair and vice versa for hot, and it doesn't matter which one. So if you only have one wire, you have one empty terminal on each side.

I think there is an additional switch. I actually called the company and asked them a series of questions before I bought - they are very helpful, and seemingly not threatened should you purchase through Amazon or elsewhere.

You just choose what circuit pluse the common bar. you want to use and use those breakers. Ya gotta follow the instructions but the wires are numbered and it's actually not hard.

If by "gang switch" plate you mean a "switch combo" with multiple interrupters sharing a single cover plate, mine shares a 3-hole plate. I chose to use a sectional cover plate rather than the standard single casing 3-hole cover plate. Also, while in my installation the timer shares the same cover plate with two light switches, the wiring for each switch is independent. Each switch in the combo has its own standalone electric wiring; they do not share the same breaker. One consideration to keep in mind is the space size that houses the "switch combo". The timer requires a bit more "room" (not too much more) than the average single light switch. When in doubt, consulting with a professional electrician would be my best advice.

Negative, yet there is an input receptacle with NO SPECS as to polarity and voltage needed, as well a missing current spec needed when multiple items are connected. Closer inspection of item shows no specs ON the item either, but it appears that an area below the receptacle has been sanded off, as if the specs were removed, as was the model info. Weird.. Inspection was done with lighted magnifier I used at NASA to inspect pins. sort of like owning a 7-stall barn that will only hold 4 horses at best ;-)

I agree with Kerry...mine came with the relay...loud and I feel safer now! Be sure and use the relay!!!

I built a harness with a relay and hooked it into a remote fuse block I installed, but with the small amount of amps these led's draw, you don't really need the relay, but I would fuse the circuit!Hope this helps you

If you want each of the led bars to work on their own switch then yes, you should probably wire them with their own relay. This harness would be for one circuit. Alternatively, since you already have a swith panel, you could just buy the relays and some wire. Good luck!

I used to have one hooked up to a switch because it didnt come with a remote. The second one I got did but I still had it hooked up to a switch and i did use it a few times to kill the power to it and didnt seem to loose the pattern it was on. I just didnt bother running another switch when i got my second mazda 6. Its an LED bar, it wont use much power. I left mine on for 8 hours one time and it didnt even make a dent in my battery. Often i will leave it on for at least 4 hours at a time. I wouldnt worry too much about leaving it on actually.

I'd played with the switches , volumn and source , may be a defective cable , or the bar might be defective . GL

Yes. I read somewhere where it will show somekind of code error if you dont use. I got tha relay harness and installed it and couldnt get but one high beam to come on and no low beam. Took it back off until i have time to fool with it. I think tha problem is me tho.

Ill agree with the last post that they are not easy to setup but for sure they are two devices. Its actually two load switches and two scene controllers in one is whatnit really is. I use several of them with a VeraLite on Ui5. They have special instructions for vera setup to get the two scene contollers and load switches linked up and right. But in vera it shows two deivces or light switches. Im good with electrical and where i could I took out the old sing or double gang box and installed a old construction box in a 2 or 3 gang so I can just install two switches next to each other instead. I use 35.00 ge switches which are easier to use and I can buy almost 4 of them vs. 1 of these. Ill agree with the last post that they are not easy to setup but for sure they are two devices.

You must order the Geenerac with the switch. In addition we had to change our meter box. I still don't know why.

Yes, I used a relay for that reason. A great deal of power goes through the switch. I used a kit from International Auto Parts for old Alfa Romeo and Fiat Spiders so I am not a good person to ask for the best choice of relays and wiring unless you own one of those.
