The alternator supplies amperage to the storage device, the flooded cell battery. All your posts concern is running additional amperage and overtaxing the alternator which probably won't happen because the lights aren't on all the time.
I added 4 additional 55 watt halogens to my M9 for night work and it's 50 amp juice provider has no problem and that includes the computer and the electricals to run the round bailer plus the on board electronics for the real time moisture sensor outfit and the acid application hardware plus it's pump and magnetic controlers.
The only way you'll wind up with too little juice is if the battery is marginal or your alternator has a faulty voltage regulator.
Probably the most forgotten item is properly fused circuits for auxilliary items not supplied by the OEM.
I added an electric fan to my AC condensor as well to keep me cool when the engine is idling in hot weather and I powered it through a relay in line with the a/c compressor magnetic clutch feed.
It's like your home. The total sum of all your appilances, the lighting and everything else you have that is electrical powered is most likely many amps above what your service is..... but you don't power everything at once.
