Are these extra lights going to be too much for the electrical system?

With respect to amperage...

Recently tested 3 different type of add on LED work/flood lights before adding them to my tractor. What I found was the watts were overstated for all three types. I'm guessing your 20 watt lights are actually less and therefore even less of a strain on the electrical system.

Claimed Watts_____Actual Watts__Amps/Light____# of LEDS/Unit
____18_____________9.5__________0.75____________6
____27____________14.5__________1.18____________9
____36____________26.0__________2.06___________12

These values are for an individual lamp/housing, so the values would have to be doubled for a pair of flood lights.

I wonder what the claimed lumen effects end up being with less watts being used ?

I really don't know, but the light output of these cheap lights are phenomenal compared to old halogen headlights and worklights. The stock Kubota cab lights (front and rear) look like candles compared to the output of these LED's and they are nothing special.

I'm guessing they use the rated LED output, but drive them with less current to make it easier to mitigate the heat at the LED.
