I am contemplating rebuilding a spare unit with 2 dpdt relays. I can find
them on eBay at a sensible price but, in my customary ignorance about amps,
volts, kilowatts and the like, I don't know what amperage to go for. 5 amps
or 10 amps seems to be the main choice. 5 amp units tend to be smaller which
is good.

Suggestions would be welcome.

Any photos or whatever would be appreciated. I was inspired by an article by
Jean Caron. However the version that I've got is a rather poor quality b&w
pdf, so anything would help.

Thanks,

Simon

A simple rule as a guide is Ampere=3DWatt/Volt. So if you have 45 watts of l=
ight bulbs you would need A=3D45/12 =3D 4. The relays you have found you say=
 are 5 or 10 ampere units, that is what they are capable to handle. So if yo=
u use 10 A units you will be on the safe side.
