Would these lights be ok to use or is it to much voltage?

Voltage is not your issue. Wattage (current draw) should be your concern. How many of these do you plan to use?

I was going to put 4 of them on my ROPS. So that would be like 500watts with 4 of them I guess.

You may want to jump over to the Kioti forum and get some advice on safe amps to pull.

126 watts each, divided by 12 volts = 10.? amps each times 4 lights = around 42 amps total

I wouldn't do it for a continuous load, could run down battery with a magnatron for an alternator. see this about adding high power electrical loads

There's an actual kioti forum?

Oops I guess we are already here... Never mind! :laughing:

HAHA. I thought maybe there was an external Kioti forum just as there is with Kubota.

What have people used for switches anyone have any factory looking switches that put in the spare area of the dash?

Go to Amazon and search on 12v toggle switches.

I used something like these... I like the lighted feature so you know if they are switched on or not especially in the daytime.

I have something like that I got on Amazon. Those lights are so misinformed. There is no way that led light is going to use that many watts. That is probably for the whole box. There has got to be a misprint somewhere. Maybe like 1.26 watts each. I mean my lights Look like that and I put 3 on my tractor and tied in with other lighting and have not blown a fuse yet. Talked to my electrical guy I work with and he is a professor that teaches this stuff. Let痴 just say if they used that much current the included wiring would be a much heavier gauge.

Subscribed so I can find this later.

Debating setting up a couple lights off a cigarette plug or wiring a dedicated fuse block and switch.

I know what I want to do, but I also know how many projects ice got before snow flies....

10 Amps or less


More Amps or multiple circuits, this is how I pimped my ride

Hey guys so at the back of tractor I found this wire harness wondering is this like a power source I can tie my LEDs into or?

It probably is and could well be already 'hard wired' to your Light-Selector switch, which means that the circuit is fused... I know that this is the case with my 4105 and I connected a, ROPS mounted, 6-lamp LED light bar to my connection.

A volt meter will confirm when the Light-Selector switch is turned to the correct position.

I don't think it is a power point. It has a jumper connector shorting the two wires. Probably a seat safety switch connector for a model which uses a seat with pressure switch.

Hey guys so just wondering if anyone knows if kioti has a factory 2 way switch that I can put in this blank spot for my lights? I want it to look clean so was hoping to have a switch that fit right in this blank spot with out having to cut anything.
