So if you have 45 watts of light bulbs you would need A=45/12 = 4. The relays you have found you say are 5 or 10 ampere units, that is what they are capable to handle. So if you use 10 A units you will be on the safe side.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Per<br><br>Skickat från min iPhone</div><div><br>7 apr. 2016 kl. 17:31 skrev Simon Lachlan <<a href="mailto:simon.lachlan@homecall.co.uk">simon.lachlan@homecall.co.uk</a>>:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)"><style><!--

I can find them on eBay at a sensible price but, in my customary ignorance about amps, volts, kilowatts and the like, I don’t know what amperage to go for. 5 amps or 10 amps seems to be the main choice. 5 amp units tend to be smaller which is good.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Suggestions would be welcome.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Any photos or whatever would be appreciated.
