Question:
Looking at L E D light #stl8rb. Saids amp is .259 amps. How does this compare to the same light but with incandescent bulb? Is the L E D less or more amps
asked by: Robert
Expert Reply:
LED lights draw considerably less amperage than incandescent lights. They also run much cooler. These 2 features are why LED lights last so long. The incandescent version of # STL8RB is # ST8RB and it draws 2.5 amps for the stop/turn signal functions and 1 amp for the running light functions.
And the LED version draws 0.259 amps for stop/turn functions and 0.062 amps for running light functions.
