is 200 amps to much

Agree.. I have the 9” round Illuminators and they rock with no hotspots and very even spread

Thinking about adding their 40” “Godfather” LED light at up on the roof rack but I note they’re the 10W LED’s which after reading the above I’m wondering if this is the best option

I have had a couple of the 9 inch LED spotties fitted for a while now and these have the 10w LED's fitted, They haven't given me any problems yet.
I ditched the wiring harness that came with the lights in favour of installing my own wiring that is a bit beefier and I have a 40a relay for each light instead of the single relay that came with the wiring harness provided with the lights.

Call me lazy but I figured they supply thousands of these so the harness must be fit for purpose. I’m using it as supplied and it works fine. No indication any wires are struggling to handle the current. I carry the supplies spare relay in case of issues but I haven’t needed it.

I bought the 4wd Supercentre 20 inch slim lightbar. The specs say the current draw is 7.20 @ 14.4 volts. I used their wiring kit. So far it works great.

I have used the original wiring for the lightbar I fitted and that hasn't given me any problems, The Main reason I changed the wiring for the spotlights is that I Much prefer to have a relay for each light and for simplicity I ran my own wiring to achieve that.

Yes, I have the Traxide wiring kit on my wish list for the headlights and driving lights.
Also lusting after Nugget's LED headlights.
But first comes the 100,000km service and new tyres.
So many desires, such limited funds (sigh).

I hear ya! I’ve got a coolant service to do with all the parts waiting which tallied to a lot. New reserve, new water pump, engine water outlet, new top hose, oh and a new alternator as preventative. Now for the time!

Fair enough - My AutoLec said he’d replaced a few harnesses in Illuminator kits that were burned out due to the smaller gauge feed (20A) with a 25A fuse which of course makes no sense

Maybe it was a bad or early batch.. dunno. I went with 40A wiring and 30A fuses and have had no problems so far

Might be worth checking that your fuse is SMALLER than the gauge of wiring just in case
