How many amps does it draw? My nav lights have a 5 amp fuse
240527
I have a 5 amp in my Ranger. I had no issues with my light. You do have to be careful. i fish night tournaments often and with aerators and lights on much of hte night drainage has been a small issue, but only a few times. The light is really awesom and i feel pretty stupid for not investing earlier. it also has a negative effect on others coming at you so be sure to hit the off button when encountering others while out at night.

It's a 2 amp draw, and the manufacturer recommends a 5-6 amp fuse. You should be fine. My nav lights are on a five amp fuse too and I've never had any problem. Good luck!

It will draw at least 7 amps. You need to run 14 gauge wire to the light and have a 20 - 30 amp fuse.

The unit contains a 55 watt bulb. Marine/car batteries have an actual voltage of 12.6 volts, so the current draw would be around 4.37 amps. (amps = watts/volts)If attached to your ignition battery, then the charging system on a Mercury engine for example will be supplying around 13.8 - 14.2 volts during charging, thus your current draw while the engine is running would be approximately 3.82 -3.99 amps.

Found this: http://www.larsonelectronics.com/images/product/specsheet/45291.pdfLooks like 4.7 amps

I use it as a step down for my stereo amphlier. It was made for the Japanese market. The fuse on the unit you are looking at is 5amp. That is all I'm qualified to say.

The 5 watts is about .4 amps or 400 milliamps. I have dimmer LED's in my RV and they run .2 amps. I'd rather use more of the less powerful bulbs, to get more even lighting.

Update on my previous answer since I now have a new meter to measure all DC current draw on my vessel. With all 5 lights on, they draw 1.1 amps of DC power...That is a very low current draw!! I am adding 2 more this winter.

It draws 30 amps, but you attach it directly to your battery, so it should never bother any in car fuses. Air flow is 2.54 CFM (72 liters per minute) and I love it. It is the best value for the money! Works great!!

I think around 5 amps. It blows the 3 amp fuses on the cheap 12 volt splitters, I change those out for 10 amp. Carried it in my pick for a couple months, last year, no problem on the cigarette ports.

Not sure of the amps..but I have it wired in with two grill lights and a dash light and have never had any problems

Mine was 30 amps. Used it for a trans brake and a line lock solenoid On my race car. Keep in mind use a in line fuse I use a 25 amp fuse to be safe.

it draws about 4 amps,it takes a 7 amp fuse in the lighter plug, the fuse is a 1-1/4 long glass fuse, on the 120v adapter read the output it pretty much tells the story.

The #1141 bulb in a 12 volt dc (battery) system should draw approximately 1.5 amperes current, which means that a 2 amp. fuse should be sufficient. But what is most important is that the fuse rating does not exceed the rating of the supply wiring or the device wiring.

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.

When I tested it on a jump box at 12.5 v with the 9 watt lights (this was a white light) on a snap on tester the draw was 55 Milli amps. Hope this helps

Besides the switch and wiring for it, no it does not. i use a 5amp fuse, which is probably too big for how much energy these lights use. So I'm not sure what size the amp should be exactly.

I use this in a patrol car. I have electric road flares, GPS and a radar unit hooked into it. But I know they draw low amps. I used to use emergency lighting that you are talking about and I bet you that it's design also to draw low amps so I would say yes.

This CONVERTOR puts out 70 watts 6 amps. If your combined lights are under this wattage and draw under 6 amps it will work.

I believe it draws around 10 amps, I myself had not had any fuses blown, most of the time I hook up directly to battery although I have had it running off my trailer light connector on back bumper with no problems.

I installed inline to the cigarette lighter using a .5 amp barrel fuse. I don't think it even draws that much power, but can't remember since it has been such a long time.
