I want to use this for my emergency lights which can draw a lot of power, would this be sufficiant? Would say to draw up to 10 amps or so

How are you going to power it? a generator and if so how many total amps does your generator out ? also how many lights do you plan on installing? Hope this helps

10 amps should be ok but I would use a relay just to be safe. It would also save on the life of the relays in the remote and you will be worry free for years.

Yes but use a relay. I did and have no issues. Amazon sells a pack of 5. 30amp already prewired for cheap and the worked perfect.

I use it for a 7500 watt running and a 10500 watt surge generator and it works just fine. If you want to be especially safe check it after fifteen minutes of use, if the cord is hot discontinue. I'll bet it will be just fine.

I spoke with my husband about this and he said that it is 10 amp but acts like it has more power, he uses it at work and it has been very handy because of the configuration. Hope this helped.

Yes, depending on how many amps it draws. If you have lights or other accessories you would have to go with a more substantial converter.

It all depends on how many amps the light strip draws. 1 amp would drain it in 12 hours, but you don't want to deplete it totally if you want it to last. I use mine as an emergency power supply for emergency radio equipment.

Manufacturer's rating is 300W / 2.5A maximum load. It is *NOT* for high current applications. I use it for controlling exterior lights on a detached garage. Look here: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91WEInllQDS.pdf

I use it on a 12 volt boat system. It is very bright, you need some power. I doubt what you suggest would be enough.

Hi More than enough if I counted my fingers correctly (ha ha) those two should draw less than 5 amps together(4.7 amps) this power supply will more than run the lights. You picked a good choice! I have one, love it! Oh! I almost forgot make sure you are using #14 gauge multi strand wire with an inline fuse holder with a 5 amp fuse it it blows go to 7 amp fuse.

I am replacing the current bulb which draws approximately .9 amps 12V DC. I would guess that the draw would be 0.2 amps or less. By the way these bulbs are bright and seem to be high quality. My application is for the low voltage landscape lights.

It all depends on amperage you are drawing and the length of the wire. It should work fine if your generator is less than say 6500 watts

I agree with Paul depending on how much reserve battery power you have will dictate how long you can pull 800W. For better service I advise to use bigger wire to connect to battery and shortes length possible, 4 awg or 2 awg if need to be longer wire with ring termals. Unless you have a big battery bank reserve best to keep plenty of 12V power to batteries. There is a formula to calculate the load online

Although I personally haven't done it, I've seen people use large emergency car battery chargers to power flashes. They're basically a deep cycle 12 volt car battery with an 120 VAC inverter (they usually come with jumper cables, a light, and sometimes an air pump). The bigger ones can power 2-3 lights for quite some time. Depending on your power needs you could probably make it through a photoshoot with a couple of those. They run about $120...and WAY WAY quieter than a generator.

I use this on a generator to activate the glow plugs which are 12 volts and it works very well. The actual current draw to activate the internal coil is very minuscule less than 1/2 amp.

It should have no problem if it draws less than 20 amps. I use my generator at times to run a similar unit and have power to spare on my camper. I think mine has a start up of 14 amps and settles in around 12 amps.

no, it will not. I used this for a project to power a 20w amplifier and blew up a few of these. These I found later on were intended for LEDs. With that said most will not pull more than 0.5A. I am guessing they have a very low c value and would not be safe to pull more than 1 amp.

It depends on the fuse you put in line - but there is already over 20 amps of draw. (Kind of pushing it already) probably better with 2

According to this item description, it's okay theoretically (13 A is max. capacity of this item). On the other hand, I used it for the mosquito killing lamp in the hot summer but no huge electric current required. Maybe, you may contact the manufacturer to ensure it.
