2. What amount of current do the LED lights draw?

I don't know as I haven't put a meter on mine while they worked. They are supposed to and I believe to be much less than a fluorescent tube. Check the tube makes website.

I checked the box that my lights came in and it says 1.9A @ 12v, 0.8A @ 24v. It seems like when I installed them I checked the current draw and it was about 1.0A but can't remember for sure. However, using 27 watts and 12 volts it calculates out to 2.25 amps. I know mine are not drawing near that much.

12V DC. Yes, I have converted totally to LED's and the low power consumption of them really brightens up everything.

LED'S draw much less current than a standard incandescent bulb. That's why they hyper flash when you install them without resistors. LED watts are measured in milli-watts. It depends on the LED lamp you buy. If it is a 1W lamp, then divide it with the number of diodes. These LED bulbs are probably no more than 2W or 3W bulbs. Hope this helps!

"Wattage" is normally shown as "Max" wattage when in operation. If this product is listed as .8 watts (120vac x .067ma) then the "idle" current should be significantly less, probably about .020 amps/20ma or 120*.02= 2.4 watts. It could easily be less, depending on the circuit design. When the lights are not on, the unit is 1)determining if it is light or dark (dusk to dawn sensing) and 2)if there is "motion" in the vicinity. The energy used during this "idle" process is extremely low.

We have these installed as reading lights on our cruising sailboat. As near as I can tell they draw about .15 amps each. And they are plenty bright! Greg S/V Daystar

The cables are dimensioned so you could pull the full amperage. I think there are twin cables for ease of wiring two sets of LEDs. If in doubt though, hook up your load to one cable and see if it gets warm, or just splice both cables into a single cable.

The 4 LED's are lit. ...there are 4 Leds around the power on switch which indicate charge percentage.

Depends on your use, what is plugged in etc. We only have lighting circuit (wattage varies) and computers (they draw a constant 50 watts) Works for our needs. Also depends on Batteries - we have six 12 Volt batteries. More batteries more storage

I believe that however many stay constant indicate how charged up the unit is. So if you see 3 constant led's then it is around 65 to 75% charged when fully charged all led's will stay lit until unplugged from charging. This unit stores slot of power so it takes it awhile to deplete it depending on what is being charged.

If you are lighting LED's in direct sun only with no batteries and the LED's you are using will run on 3V, then typically LED's draw 20mA, so it would light 3 of them if the above assumptions are true.

I will vary depending upon the current load and the voltage out. one of mine is hooked to a 6 volt lantern battery and has been driving a led strip of 25 led's for over 10 weeks now and the battery voltage has only dropped .3 volts. I hope this helps.

I am replacing the current bulb which draws approximately .9 amps 12V DC. I would guess that the draw would be 0.2 amps or less. By the way these bulbs are bright and seem to be high quality. My application is for the low voltage landscape lights.

I have two of these and both are on 15 amp circuits with other things is the practical answer. I have them controlling the 5m color LED light strips.The technical answer is that you would have to have 2,250 watts to pull 18 amps. But this is only a controller. It is not the power supply so it doesn't pull the power. It sits between the power supply and the light strips.

I have no specifics on current draw but these are 12V lights designed for 12V systems such as autos, RV's, trucks.

I really do not know. I do know they use LED's which are very bright and use little energy. I could not be happier with mine. Very reasonable price. Have had no problems.

that's a good question. i do not know as i have yet to do that test. i can tell you that from my understanding of LED lights, they take very little energy increasing your battery life. i will also tell you that my light works quite well for my needs.thank you -
