Re: Reverse lite
I think you will have trouble running much amperage through a micro-switch .......

Re: Reverse lite
Wire a relay in and the micro switch will activate the relay and pull power from the battery to operate the light.

Re: Reverse lite
I have been running a single 55 watt lite through the micro switch for 2 and half years!! 4 amps, no relay.

Re: Reverse lite
that's impressive. I wouldn't have guessed you could do that.
I like the relay idea, that's thinking ... |

Re: Reverse lite
Relay everything is my rule. If you could find some cheap LED lights they don't take much power and might make enough light, but a relay is only $4 anyway.

Re: Reverse lite
I'm running a 15" stip of LED lights wired right off the micro. Works great and throws a ton of light.
Prior to that I had a 55watt light running off it for about 2 years as well with no issues |

Re: Reverse lite
I have a few of those strips, but only for mood lighting to mess with the people at the firepit lol. Really need to get them on the cart. I suppose I could put backup lights on it too, my reverse buzzer died from water inhalation years ago anyway.
