[QUOTE="poni, post: 507000, member: 1497"] Ok, so why would a 10amp switch not be good enough ? 300w LED @12Volt = 25Amp LED's are feed by a transfromer 230 volts down to 12 volts 300w (the same watage ) but now at 230 volts now that's 1.3 amps So if you switch before the transformer(230 side ) it's only 1.3 amp and if you switch after the transformer (12 volt side) it's now 25 amps [/QUOTE]
