LEDs

[JRNY13]

Hi,

Being a new owner and with car show/cruise night season quickly approaching, I'm interested to know how long I can reasonably expect to keep the doors open with the lights activated before I should start to worry about the battery. I have LEDs in the doors. What have been people's experiences with this?

Thanks.

If you are only powering the LED door lights, All day long if you want.

Good to know, thanks.

I have left my doors open for several days and had no issue.

Doors w/LEDs on: Overnight (at least, that is how long I've had them on, to test it out). If you've got a good charge to start, a good electrical system, it won't affect your start up power needs for a while (days).

Door lights only draw about 200 ma. So takes 5 hours to drain 1 amp/hour from the battery. Your battery is most likly rated for 50 or more amp/hours.

Yup, that's about right.
And looking at my blog write up, my Door Lights + Dome Lights + Footwell Lights (all in LED), are drawing 170 ma total.
