RE: LD11 Loadings

["Des Gibbons" <des@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gareth,


On the 12V section, be very careful on the sizing, distance plays a big
part.

There is a LV cable calculator on the TLC website which allows you to put
in
the wattage and cable length and will give you the minimum cable section to
use. I had to use 2.5mm on some of the sections between trannie and
fitting.

Cheers, Des.
