Thats the peculiar part 4 lights x 27 watts = 108w/12v= 9a 108w/13.8v=7.8a

9 amps is what I should read but I actually get 6.4Amps to 7.4Amps with all four lights on. If 2 lights are on I get a little over 4 amps. I am using a good fluke clamp on DC amp meter. I was surprised to see this as I was expecting to see a little under 10 amps. I saw the same reading on both tractors. My bX1500 has the original generator and have had no issues with it.

That's pretty good. With the four 55 watt lights I'm installing I expect them to pull about 16 -18 amps.

The lights were bought off of eBay seller "ledstores". They are rated at 2090 lumens for each light. I chose the flood pattern which works well for a slow moving vehicle.

Nice job on the lights. I like the switches in the mount. Was the seller "resales" or "ledsales"? Can you provide a link to an eBay ad? Thanks.

Here is the lights that bought from ledstores in various multiples. I bought 8 lights all at one time to get a better price.

I got the same lights to use as backup lights under the rear bumper on my suburban. Great prices and work well.

Sounds like you may have been ripped off on your wattage. Nothing else is on the circuit? And what is the voltage read on the battery?

Dex I looked at your mounting and may have an answer to your low amperage draw. Just for a test run a jumper from one of your mounting bolts to the battery ground. If the draw increases you will need to ground the mount bar.
