50A solid state relay
90-110 psi cut off switch
50 degree thermostat switch.
Small barn door extension bracket..
Next is a compressor switch and led light bar switch.
I went for red switches mainly as they dont glare at night and very easyQuote:

I have a 100 Watt blanket and it reliably produces 5 amps without getting too anal about angles and moving it every 30 minutes
Yeah I know they aren't perfect... However it is a good fluke meter so I'd hope it would be as accurate as you could get for a clamp meterQuote:

Got it today, had an old battery to try and recharge so hooked it up with the blanket flat on the drive at 2.00 pm saw 6 amps on my clip meter.Quote:

Give it good test over the weekend and compare it to the folding 120watt panel I have.
These meters show Amps I think, no idea how accurate thoughQuote:

Yeah I have a couple of Fluke Clampmeters, hard to go past if you have the cashQuote:

For the induction pick up to be accurate the conductor has to be centred and parallel.
That's why industrial hall effect transducers in fixed plant applications are usually sized to be snug on the cable.
Doesn't matter all that much tho, you get a 'feel' for the gear after a while.

Just not a fan of the flood on the sides but Id put

My 240 watt number is all spot beam and it has awesome side ways
illumination, these come in handy too, or whip up some of your own

I don't see the point of a flood / spread led bars.. spot is like 30 ish degrees already.
But there on. .

No packer supplied.Quote:

Seems there was stuff for the under side to which wasn't fitted.. thus why it whistles ....
AC air filter kit arrived today from NIZZBITS.
Pleasantly surprised with the included clip.
Not a bad price at all mate, is that the Vortex RL10's?........... are you sure that rating is correct though, according to Rhino's website the rating was 100KG, for a 2 bar system and 120Kg for the 3 & 4 bars.Quote:
