slip 1 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 14 amp should b ok pending on how much you a shineing.higher the amp the more lamping you get just make sure it is twelve volts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoggerman 5 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 it depends on the watt of the bulb,,,,,,, 100 watt bulb divided by 12 volts equals 8 and half say .. so for every 8 and a half amps the battery is thats an hour of use it will give ie 8 amp one hour continouis .. 17 amp battery 2 hours ......... just divide watts used by the volts used Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JohnGalway Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 20amp battery won't give you 4-5 hours on a 100W bulb if you plan on having the lamp on continiously. But it will come pretty close Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlbell 0 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Here you go http://www.powerstream.com/Amps-Watts.htm Cheers. out of 4/5 hours the lamp would be on less than 4 hours i reckon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
