    How many Amps can I safely pull off of the factory electrical system

    I'm adding some led light to the front and I was wanting know what the safe amount of amps i can pull without hurting anything else. I'd like to go 2 light pods and maybe a 40" slim across roof line, but from my figures that sounds like alot of amps...40" =77 amps the 2 pods = 4 amps

    A 50" double row light bar is 300 watts.
    No idea how a 40" could be 930 watts, probably around 240 watts.

    I am not sure on X 2 and 4 about watts. But the 40" light maybe referencing equivalent light output that they sometimes do. Your math sounds correct but the actual fixture wattage sounds fishy to me.

    Be careful of Amazon/Ebay lights, a lot of Chinese junk on there. Auxbeam is one I know people have had good service from. IP rating of 67 or 68 and look at lumens output. I bought some Kawell lights that have held up well.
    The housings are painted instead of powder coated on cheaper lights, lens are not poly carbonate. Hardware is not as good on low price lights.

    I have Auxbeam lights on three machines and we have had good luck so far. Have the one on the rhino for 4 years (better shut up LOL) but still works good.
