what is the amp use in these lights?

I believe they use a 55 watt bulb, so at 12 volts, that's a bit under 5 amps.I use 2 of them on a 10amp fused circuit, hasn't blown yet.

Honestly don't know, but I can tell you that I plugged two into a lawn and garden battery and ran the lights for about 3-4 hours with no alternenator. Lights were bright the whole time and lawn tractor continued to start fine. I was impressed with how bright they were and how little draw they "seem" to have. Sorry I can't answer more conclusively than that.

I have no idea about the amps but I really recommend these lead lights they're really strong and reliable and you don't have to worry about the switch it comes with an awesome switch Garden switch like missiles

My original bulbs used about an amp. These use about 50 ma. That's 1/20th the power for about half the light. I used to have 4 incandescent bulbs. I changed half of them. When we are in a national park running on battery alone, I am quite happy with the result.I

Not sure of the amp draw but these things draw barely anything. They can run off a 9 volt battery for a long time.

Nope, you will need a 120ac/12vdc power supply for these lights. These are light emitting DIODES, so you must observe the proper polarity when you are hooking them up.

I suppose yoou could use other lights - However, yo need to be real careful about the amps being pulled as this is not a commercial systme and you burn fuses up real quick.

Typically street legal vehicles using halogen lights use around 40 for low beam and 60 for high. So your ballast pulls less. If Ur using a bi xenon hid balast only uses 35 on both doesn't change your amp only changes the position of the bulb. So an hid kit if installed correctly will use way less power

you have to look at the amp fuse you need to fuse your lights. If 30 amp fuse is ok then any lights needing 30 amp or less should work.

You can use the 12vdc. 3 amp. It's a 12vdc light strip. Works good on my boat

The light has light bulbs. It says for replacement use G.E. #124 14 V .27 amp base automotive lamp or equivalent. The two little lights are glass and about the size of a large pencil eraser.

according to the spec on the website these use 3.2 watts. Divide watts by the volts = amps. Thus 3.2 / 12 volts = 0.266 amps. Very bright lights. We love them.

They are 12V but far less wattage than 5, something like 1 watt. Good light, almost daylight in color. Brighter than the high wattage 'standard' bulbs. Very happy so far!

They draw about 4.5 amps. You can use the equation watts/volts = amps. These lights have 55 watt bulbs in them and are 12 volt, so 55/12 is about 4.5 amps.

Don't know about the amps but they only lasted a couple of weeks in continuous service. Used in an Aquaponics application.

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.

We have these installed as reading lights on our cruising sailboat. As near as I can tell they draw about .15 amps each. And they are plenty bright! Greg S/V Daystar

I used these lights to replace my driving lights. Driving light are on a 15 or 20 amp fuse. Being LED 15 amp fuse should be more than enough. LED draw very little power to run.
