Title: powering up flood light
Post by: rdhammah on Dec 18, 2023, 06:24 AM

i have a road shock automotive flood light and want to power it with a rigid 18V drill battery. Can I just use one of those battery adaptors and go from battery to light? https://www.harborfreight.com/lighting/automotive-lighting/6-in-led-spot-light-57189.html

If you get one of those adapters from ebay or amazon you should be good to go. The manual for the lights says they are 12-24 volts, so you shouldn't need any type of voltage regulator to drop the voltage. With a 2ah battery that light should run for about 6 hours.

Some of the adapters only put out a certain amount of watts/amps/volts out...so that where the math would play into...what battery platform are you currently in now?
