Re: 12v relays purpose ???
Hi Kevin,
We loose power for every extra foot the wire travels. It's like the water hose in your front yard, the spigot uses a 3/8" washer to shut the water off, yet we know it takes a 5/8" hose to go fifty feet with any pressure at all, if you use a half inch hose you'll see the water just has enough power to dribble out. Correct your installation using this chart: http://www.sei4x4.org/Wire_Size_Char...ize_chart.html KC says the 100-watt bulb will draw 8.3 amps.
