I found a few threads on this,but nothing specific that answered my questions. Real quick, i've got one of the 108 dollar Amazon 50" LED light bars coming in this week. Couldn't pass it up especially after reading all the good reviews. The light does not come with a harness, just pos and neg tag ends. I have a sPOD of course... The questions are:

1. Can I run this directly to my sPOD safely
2. If that's a yes, what amp fuse do I need to install for that circuit.
3. What gauge wire do I need to use to extend the leads to the sPOD.

thanks in advance gents.

From my quick calculations..300w/12v = 25a..you'll be good with 12awg for as much as you need, well over 10ft. I would wait for 14Sport or someone to confirm

Is it 300W? If so, start with a 25A fuse. Should be good but if it pops jump up to 30 which is the max for the sPod. If you can keep the total wiring (power and ground combined) to under 17 feet then 12 gauge should be fine with a 5% drop. If not, step it up to 10 gauge.

Good job, MDRoots.

It is a 300W, and thanks for the quick responses. I'll start with a 25 for good measure, and run 12G to the sPOD. It won't be a long run. Thanks again guys.

My 30" KC had a relay built into the wire just like my winch, and ARB compressor. So I wired it to the battery directly and the relay went to the SPOD. 5amp fuse. Kinda liked that.
