Aargh, if I knew they were 55 watts each I would had known what the current would be, i feel like a bit of an idiot now:o , I'll order the wire tomorrow and hopefully gt building this week then. Thanks hugely , I wolldnt be anywhere without these forums.:)

Worth trying your local caravan dealer as they usually stock 7 core and 10 core cable.

Think These are about right from memory..

Main 55W
Dipped 55W
Side 5W
Tail 5W
Fog 21W
Brake 21W
Indic 5W
Rev 21W

Dash 5w per ilumination lamp approx.


HORN - QUITE A LOT!
Blower - QUTE A LOT TOO!
Fan - SHED LOADS!
Engine - very little
Starter - WOOOOo!!!!


:D

TT

my nas type indicators come with 21watt bulbs although i think it can vary depending on style of the lights.

Sent you a PM. Can send you the diagrams that i sell with my kit if you wish....

Your right indicators should be 21W not 5W

Morning guys, approximately how much 10 core cable did you guys need to do your loom please?
Cheers Jas

i got 5m i think from memory. will have a look at the receipt this afternoon to check

Cheers Ash,

Im currently thinking, run 10 core to the rear, and 2 7 cores to the front, one for each corner!:D

quick note dont forget to factor in lower voltages as this will push the amps up a bit
55w/14v=3.92A running/charging
55w/12v=4.58A stoped/ok
55w/11.5v=4.78A flat!

so dont forget to uprate the cable above the duty needed!
or the smoke will leak out of your cables

when i was at collage studing auotmtive engineering/design/eletronics
the rule of thumb was to work all of this and factor it into everything
and i thort it was a compleate waste of time :rolleyes:

the idea is fine for working out fuse sizes but i would be factoring in 15-20%
above duty for cable sizes

stuf like bulbs,fuel pumps etc may well be uprated in the future
