wiring question

[Klaus]

Here's some good info on lighting and voltage drop.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>In many cases, the thin factory wires are inadequate even for the stock headlamp equipment. Headlamp bulb light output is severely compromised with decreased voltage. For example, normal engine-running voltage in a "12-volt" automotive electrical system is around 13.5 volts. At approximately this voltage, halogen headlamp bulbs achieve 100 percent of their design luminous output. When operating voltage drops to 95 percent (12.825v), headlamp bulbs produce only 83 percent of their rated light output. When voltage drops to 90 percent (12.15v), bulb output is only 67 percent of what it should be. And when voltage drops to 85 percent (11.475v), bulb output is a paltry 53 percent of normal!

So the Readers Digest version would be 12 ga. will work fine. Whew I thought it was one of my sales consultants explaining the deal they wrote.

DRTYFN, you wouldn't be trying to spell Nostradamus are you?

If so, then in Century 6, Quatrain 17 you are mentioned, and your avatar confirms it,

ChuckE is right, most metals have electrons that can detach from the atom which are called free electrons. Its those free electrons ability to jump from one atom to the next that make electricity pass through the conductor.

Yay, I remember something from college!

Thank you, because I had no idea what you were trying to say .

And now in language that should be familiar to you:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>"faaaaa-laaaaa faaaaa-laaaaa" but instead a "fa-la fa-la fa-la"
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

or

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>"fa-la fa-la fa-la"
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
what a doof, and yes were having fun.

you just spouted off "as fact" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I kindof got lost after that.

That was nice of you to try and help, Paragon. BTW, I think that is a nice avatar, but I can't tell what the bottom says.
