    What is the amp rating on the switch ?

  2. #42
    i just bought a toggle switch and it says 10A 125VAC
    15A 12VDC
    THESE #S ARE FOR EACH PRONG(ONLY 2 PRONGS).
    the numbers say that on top of each prong.

    Ok so your switch is rated at 15 amps. Now Your lights will have a amp rating also. So add the two light amp ratings together and if it is below 15 amps your good to go !
    I am sure it will be ok as I sell just regular toggles all the time with the LEDs I sell at work.

    Watts are Not Amps. You need to se what the AMP DRAW is per light.

    Math time. P=IV where P = Power in Watts, I = Current in Amps and V = Voltage in Volts. If you are trying to figure out amps, solve for I. I=P/V If you have 18 Watts of LEDs running on a 12 Volt system, divide 18/12 and you get 1.5 Amps.
