just wondering if anyone has had too/thought of using a 1.5f capacitor for their off road lighting??
i know my current draw is only 200w with just over 12 amps total for my lights but in the future i will be putting on a 50" bar that will bump up my draw to 500w and 35 amps( and then another one bringing it up to 800w 50amp draw) .... currently it doesnt seem to affect my power to all the lights (as i do not have a stereo or anything other then oem lighting inside the truck)

would it be recomended to add a capacitor for less solid draw to my alternator/battery? or help with running the lgihts longer without having to have the truck running?

currently running
rigid 20" combo
rigid 2x6" hyper spot
rigid 4x duallys
will have 50" rigid in the next month or two

I not sure if it would be the best way. When used for a big draw component like an amp for a subwoofer they are great but remember that subs draw power in peaks and valleys which allow the capacitor to store under low amp needs and discharge when the power is needed....not a constant draw like a lighting system.
