Whenever you are wondering about current draw for lights, Amps=P/V, or divide the power rating of the light by the voltage. You will draw about 4 more amps with the added 50 watt bulb. ....

Grinder, check the cicuit breaker for the lights. Add the auxiliary light to all the other lights on the circuit. As long as you are less than 80% of the breaker, you will be alright. You can also test the circuit at the breaker and see what current is drawn with the lights on.

Or, take Arts word for it, that they use a 50 watt light.

Or, know that I have two 35 watt aux lights on my 7800 and it was under the breaker load. Works fine.

4 amps shouldn't be a problem for you. You probably have a 15 amp alternator, and a 10 amp breaker. It would be worth checking so you know. ....

I'm thinking of adding a light or to on the front of my bx23 low enough to shine under the loader bucket when driving.
Has anyone done that?
