Wiring 4 lights
« on: Nov 29, 2005, 09:59:20 AM »
I would like to wire 4 lights on one switch if possible.
What is the best way to do this?
Should I use relays?

yes, use relays.  The one output from the switch can be wired to the control side of all relays.  Widley available bosch style relays are 30 amp.  So figure out how many amps you will use with the four lights to determine if you will use one or more relays.

Watts = Volts multiplied by Amps
