I found an electronics workbench program I used in college and decided to put together a work light schematic. Everything worked fine under simulation and the circuit draws around 12 amps with all lights on. I don't do a lot with 12 volt systems so if anyone sees anything wrong let me know.
I do have a couple of questions for those of you who have installed worklights. I was thinking about doing one trap (trapezoid) and one spot up front. Is one trap enough or do I need two? Would a spot light even be useful? I was leaning toward the two traps up front and just having a plug in spot light on hand. I do have a canopy now so the trap lights would be on the front of the canopy and the flood light would be on the rear of the canopy.
Also, I seem to remember seeing somewhere that the L3400 had a 40 amp alternator. I could not find that information in the manual but from the size that looks about right. Does anyone know if this is correct?
I know the L3400 has a worklight circuit under the fender but I wanted more capacity and the switches on the instrument panel.
Thanks,
Terry
