Do I need a load resistor for it (to have longer life span) ? if so what size is good for it ?

No. No load resistor required. All you have to do is wire them up like you do regular lights.

Well, that load is within spec. I have not run mine this hard, but at this price it seems worth a try. I have had excellent performance thus far at 48V, probably 2-3 A.

No, its prob a burnt out resistor, it would probably cost more to repair than what you paid for it.

That is a lot of initial starting current! It should run if you can get through the starting surge and have the input power to support it. For resistive loads the starting current is as much as 7X the steady state current--I don't know what your load is, but I suspect you will trip the overload if you draw that much power, Hope this helps.

I would take the old one down to a hardware store and they should have replacements on the shelf, depending on the DC voltage of the one you have. Should just take some simple wiring and cover with some wire-shrink tubing and you should be good.

I would recommend Hoptkins #46105, I tend to soldier and use marine grade heat shrink as well, but I tend to over think things. Plently of vids to help with whats what, when wiring.

If you have a transformer on it now, why do you want another? If its currently 12vac, why are you want to install an inline resistor? The value would depend on what your attempting to accomplish.

Dear valued customerSome vehicle is still required to be installed with load resistor because the power consumption of LED bulb is far below than the original value of halogen bulb. Consumers generally accept this factor and use them anyways, despite the appearance of error messages. This is not a problem with the quality of our products. you might need to add 50W 6Ohm LED Load Resistors with LED bulb to eliminate error message. Thanks

its best to use the same model that camp with the unit. You do not want to burn any this else out. Or just make sure your volts, amps, horsepower and so on.

I would suggest something mid range like 15 amps but definitely nothing higher than what was on the unit. The reason you blew the fuse was you put to high a load on it. By putting a higher rated fuse, your risking a fire.

Yes you will need a 4.7K resistor. One side of resistor to Plus 5VDC the other side of resistor to the signal wire of the sensor, Ground wire connects to ground.

I believe if you were to use this timer for that purpose that a properly sized relay should be used to switch the load and the timer would turn the relay on and off. Pumps draw a large current especially during startup. For durability the relay should be about 30amp.

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

I havn't had a chance to try mine yet but I do agree completely with "FlickerKing's" answer. It should work fine. P.S. If you extend the length you maybe should use at least 18 guage stranded wire for better performance.

If it blinks too fast, you will need a turn signal flasher relay, which is the problem I had for a 2000 Honda Accord. You should not need a load resistor.

you have to purchase resister separately. You also must determine which amperage resister you want. As I understand either one will work, however sticking with stock is probably going to give you the most peace of mind, all variables considered.

My wife and I use ours daily and lobe it. Regarding your question, I would check with a reputable shop that sells electrical supplies. You want to make sure that anything between the unit and wall outlet will handle the electrical load without overheating.
