Re: G19e adding headlights and led accent lights help

For instance, if you have two front bulbs at 55W, then it makes 110/12= 9.1A. Of course you are talking about LED, but I have seen some at 48W... Remember you have also to add all lights that can be used together, so possibly two front headlights, two back lights and eventually one side of turn signal lights (2 front plus back), eventually stop lights, etc... If you have a horn pressing it while you are stopped by night, having your stop pedal pressed and turn lights on... Not talking about other accessories that can be also used such as radio, lighter/phone charger and so... When I made my electricity, I used a small 8 fuse panels to separate everything and not lose all if there is a trouble and/or a short. Useless to talk about relays if you have too much Amps for the "switch" used to power your piece of equipment. For the price of a switch, no need to take a chance. All a project in fact... *smile What is the list of accessories you want to install, and for each of them, the watts or amps? I can see 30A units not so expensive... |

Re: G19e adding headlights and led accent lights help
Well that calculation sure made things clear!!! Thank you. The light is 72 watts. All the other stuff, I need to figure out. I like the idea of a fuse block. When I get off work I'll start looking for more economically comfortable converters. Thank you all for the info!

Re: G19e adding headlights and led accent lights help
I am planning on using a single 12" 72 watt led light bar. The undercarriage lights have not been found yet. I could definitely use a diagram! Again, thank you!

Re: G19e adding headlights and led accent lights help
Well I got my lights installed. They are twin 6 bulb led's that each unit, is 18watts. I hooked up my voltage reducer and then wired it up to the switch. Flipped the switch and there was light!!!!! Success! FOR ABOUT 8 SECONDS! If this were a rodeo, I'd be stoked. After 8 seconds it started flashing fast and then slowed down. I assume this 10amp 48 to 12v reducer is either junk, or I did something terribly wrong. I had read somewhere that there is supposedly an internal capacitor that needed charging and then it would fire constantly. Something tells me this could be true but, that charge didn't last long. I am about ready to 1, try the second one I bought and see if it works or 2, spend the dough and get the DPI voltage regulator.
Any thoughts? this is what I bought, http://www.ebay.com/itm/120W-GOLF-CA...3D201123714774 These are the lights I bought as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/252451024458...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |

Check the amps of your switch; it should be a minimum of 3A. Is it becoming warm? What cable (AWG??) did you install ? ...but I suppose it must be ok We can find these reducers on Aliexpress, coming from China. They have good and less good stuff there... |

Re: G19e adding headlights and led accent lights help
Here is one from a site sponsor for $110: http://www.revolutiongolfcars.com/_p...mp---universal.
And while it may seem "just for lights", it opens a whole world of possibilities in lighting, sound systems, power sockets, etc. Proper 12 volt power, that's safe for the batteries. Makes all kinds of 12 volt automotive accessories possible. Last edited by meimk; 10-11-2016 at 05:55 AM.. Reason: correction |

Re: G19e adding headlights and led accent lights help
I find it funny that they sell the same one I'm using for 50 bucks. Either I wired it using too small of wire or it is, a faulty product.
