Trigger Wireless Controller Install

I just hooked the yellow directly to the battery. That allows me to use the lights when the ignition is off.

Love this switch but most people are over thinking the mounting...Mines been sitting on top of the battery for nearly 30,000 miles and never moved...

Wierd...still hasn't moved after 86K miles...

I installed a Trigger 4 last week. The 4 comes with two 30 amp fuses and two 10 amp fuses. The Trigger 6 adds two 5 amp fuses. My new 50 watt KC slimlights have a fusible link in the supplied wiring harness (that I’m not using) that is 20 amps so I have to use a 30 amp circuit for them. So it made me wonder what you can hook up to a 10 or 5 amp circuit?

I use those for rock lights, side/rear pods with my 6 Shooter...

Remember, Amperage = W / V. So 50W/12V = ~4.2A. You should also be able to get from KC in their specs what the amperage is for the lights. 10A should be fine, I would probably not go down to a 5A on those lights.

you’re right, the box lists a 4 amp draw. I assume that’s per light.Since Both lights are going to be on one switch I guess 10 amps might not be enough margin of error so KC bumped up to a 20 amp fuse. Kinda sucks I don’t have a 20 amp circuit. 30 seems too high and 10 too low. Maybe I’m just overthinking it.

Generally over-sizing is not a huge problem, depending on the setup. I don't have a trigger myself, but if they're standard replaceable fuses, you can just swap in a smaller fuse.

you’re right I should be able to just swap in the 20 amp fuse on one of the 30 amp circuits. I wasn’t thinking LOL.
