could this be used with 12v blue emergency lights, with a cigareet plus, or would that plow the fuses?

It would depend how many other appliances would be plugged in the device at the same time, what their power requirements were, and if they were all on-line at the same time. So if you plugged in four 12V appliances at the same time you would probably create an overload and blow a fuse.

I use this in a patrol car. I have electric road flares, GPS and a radar unit hooked into it. But I know they draw low amps. I used to use emergency lighting that you are talking about and I bet you that it's design also to draw low amps so I would say yes.

The only thing I could find on fuses was in the book. Tow vehicle Must be Capable of providing 12V @ 20Amp for Electric Brake Applications, Up to brakes (3 axles). If it blows that fuse than I'd be checking for shorts or some other over load. Sorry I can't help more, so far mine has work fine.

Those are REALLY high draw devices that don't really work out on a 30 amp fuse, and the fuses this box take max out at 30A. For those types of things, I would run them right off the battery, I wouldn't bother with a fuse.... Kinda like a car starter, where there's no fuse. If you feel you must fuse them, there are some "Maxi Fuse" type things that might work, but I have no idea what the current draw of either item is. This is for the depth finder, the ignition, the horn, the lights, etc.

I am returning the one I ordered, it blew all six fuses when connected to the battery, and they are a bear to change, even though they furnish the set of replacement fuses. I would not suggest it, too much line draw for this size unit.

Yes, this is compatible with a fuse box, you might consider reading this article about the installation at utterpower.com. It will give you a very good idea as to what's involved. I hope I am allowed to post the link here http://www.utterpower.com/installing-a-generator-transfer-switch-at-zachs-house-21211/

The compressor has a 15amp in-line fuse and that tells me it draws a substantial amount of current. Your cigarette lighter cannot possibly provide that load without blowing a fuse.

Yes.Since you can't be sure of which switch controls that light, turn off the power at the fuse box for that circuit. Make certain that the power is off, then and only then proceed. If you have rubber gloves they will add a layer of protection when handling the tool.I am not an electrician so if you are not comfortable doing this, please do not attempt. That's the best advice I can give you. Please be safe!

First, I would say this is one of the better 12v extensions I've found, so if one is going to work its most likely. Line drop is so much though I would tend to think the effectiveness of the compressor will be adversely affected. If your compressor already has a short cord then 'best guess' is yes. If its got a long cord, then the likelihood drops. DJH

Tripplite's website shows that at full load it consumes 200 amps. If you plan on using it fully loaded, you may want a slightly larger fuse than 200, or use a circuit breaker. Fuse size also depends on the size and length of wiring you use to connect it to

Physically connect yes. Logically no. Concern would be the fuse amperage overload (in series) and if your ciggy lighter is always closed so your battery receives a charge when ignition is turned off. It looks good physically but logics meant it likely won't work out a DA boxette.

Tom. Hook it to 12V positive along with the red wire with the fuse. The blue one can be used for a remote switch if need be. Doug

In my experience, I did cut it but used the opposite end to connect the strips to 12Volts, both ends have wires for connection. I don't think if you cut a piece from the middle and try to connect to 12 Volts it will work. Because I don't know how you would connect it. I purchased an extra roll of light for these kinds of short connections.

You can try the worse case is if you pull too much power toy would pop a fuse. Worth a try.

Yes. Just use the appropriate size fuse for each circuit depending on what you have hooked up.

Would recommend the 12 VDC approach. My 36v cart is wired to two batteries to supply all the aux items. And to your point, a fuse is an inexpensive insurance policy for when the powered device fails. Good luck

Yes it can, all the voltage and current regulation is integrated into the strip itself. I would recoment that you put a 1A fuse on the +ve wire as close to the battery as possible, this way if any part of the wire gets damaged and shorts the fuse will blow.

make sure you put in square because one side it hot and the other would be dead without connection. you could but a 12v light on each side to test for a 12v touble shooting light is cheap.
