lighting off of 16v
can i safely connect my two 55w 12v wallmart fog lights to a 16v powersource (2 batteries)?
is there already a 12v output that can handle 110w on my 2002 cc ds IQ 48v? |

Re: lighting off of 16v
here is what I would try
1 hook one to one battery check brightness 2 hook two in series to two batteries should be same brightness if 1 and 2 are same brightness then 3 hook two in series to 3 batteries they will share the 24 volts @ 12 each and be brighter than above |

Re: lighting off of 16v
You could also just run a dedicated 12v battery. That's what I decided to do. Hooked it up this week - works great!

Re: lighting off of 16v
you might get away with 2 batteries but if you hook them to 3 say bye bye to your bulbs..................................

Re: lighting off of 16v
remember I said series so two 12 volt bulbs in series is 1, 24 volt bulb so yes measure the voltage and that's correct.
example below is a motor coach that did this and its just an example Headlight Wiring - 12-Volt Lights on a 24-Volt System Early MCI coaches used 24 volt bulbs for all the exterior lights, including the headlamps. During the mid 1980's the 24 volt headlamps were replaced on the MC-9 coaches with 12 volt headlamps, beginning at unit 34901. By wiring the headlights in series, 12-volt lights will operate with a 24-volt system. http://www.mcicoach.com/service-supp...ts/wiring1.jpg |
