If you are referring to the 12 volt flouresent lights shouldn't this
be 1.5 to 2.5 Amps which is 18 to 30 watts.?? Likewise a 1/4
amp or more on the 43 LED array?? I have measured the current on
the the flouresent
lights. LED current will depend on the selected LED but .02 amps
each seems to be a common number.
at that current that would be about 50 LED per amp which is 12
watts at 12 volts. This would include the power lost in the
dropping resistors. Since I came late to the party perhaps I missed
something and am wrong.
