By using a relay, you shorten the distance that you must pull the thick wires (especially through the firewall and under the dash), and you reduce the need for a larger switch. However, having said that, if you plan to connect to any of the stock JK electrical wiring (such as wiring them to the stock switch), then you must pay careful attention to what current levels the JK is expecting on that wire

else you cause unexpected failures. IOW: If the JK is expecting 100 milliamps (and I made up that number), don`t try to wire two 100-watt bulbs directly on that circuit. You may blow a fuse, you may cause the computer to croak, you may burn up wiring, or any of a lot of other bad things. I`ve never put in a relay before, but maybe it`s just worth it to do so just for the efficiency of the deal, but I was curious if I could run all four lights without a relay, that would be the easiest solution as far as installation was concerned. 2007 Steel Blue 2Dr | 3" Full-Traction Lift | 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws | RR Modular Front Bumper | Smittybuilt Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier | Mopar Advanced Rock Rails | Body Armor Jerry Can Holder | Safari Straps For each set of lights you should use one relay. First it will make the lights brighter. No matter how thick the wire is it will have a amount of resistance to it. The longer the wire the more resistance it will have. The relay is like a remote switch and moves the connection between the lights and the battery closer together. The shorter the wire distance from the light to the battery the brighter the light will be. This is one of the reasons why relays are used. The second reason is safety. If you do not use a relay and you have to much draw from the lights being on the entire length of the wire could heat up and the insulation could melt and then it will be a fireworks show if...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
