Anyone know current draw of rear LEDs & Air Wing LEDs
« on: December 13, 2009, 06:33:04 PM »

I have the rear LEDs on a Backoff XP module (brake light flasher) and was thinking of putting the Air Wing LEDs on the circuit also.  Backoff limits use to 10Amps.  Not sure of the draw of the brake lights or the Air Wing, anyone know?

LED's typically draw in the milliamp range. The addition of the spoiler to your circuit will have very little added draw.

10 amps is a lot of power.

Amps = Watts / Volts

10 amps of 12 volt power will run 120 watts of lighting

A typical LED array that is 12" long draws less than .5 of an amp
