P1000 Triplets

[Ingfam]

This is just quick note to the Honda SxS forum and the club store. Me and my brother installed these plug and play light bars yesterday on my machine (middle one) his machine (the gray one) and our dads machine.
These went really smooth no problems installing them. Very happy so far.

Thanks

Very Nice.
I see you changed it around to go under the bar. Fits really nice there.

Yes, under the bar because we believe it provides a little more protection. by the pulling the bumper is required to mount it like we did. It's very simple to pull the bumper though. thanks for a great product.

Looks great.one question . How much risk is there to the staring battery using the plug and play light bar and rear lights?

Not much.

if you have the base model halogen head lights, swapping them to led will help free up load to run the light bar if your worried about it.

I have the deluxe and do have LED headlights.

Zero, really. Assuming you have a dual isolated battery setup, it's not like you're drawing a ton of amps off the primary batterty while running your heater, winch and hydraulics (snowplow), lights and radio while plowing. All the latter stuff (and more) is really why one benefits from a dual battery and isolator setup.

I have a Deluxe, LED headlights, a ton of accessories, a dual isolated battery setup AND this plug & play light from the HondaSXS club store. I love that it's one less switch on the dash. Odds are good you'll never really want to run the light but ONLY have low beams on, either- no real benefit to that.

Don’t have the dual isolated battery set up. That is why i was wondering about the light bar and rear lights that are plug and play from the Honda SXS store and whether i even need the dual battery setup

From what I've read, (and it's been a bit so don't be too hard on me if I'm off on this), the P1000 electrical system can put out about 55 amps max. Some 20 - 25 amps peak or so for the machine. I'm sure that's not a steady load, but rather is max while replacing current used for starting (charging battery etc), leaving the rest for toys. Now you really don't want to tap it all out, so to speak, so realistically, you might count on 20 to 25 amps max for accessories, lights etc. My Nilight 54" LED light bar draws a measured 16 amps, as an example (it's not on much but it's there if I want to start brush fires).

If you plan on winching much, keep in mind that a 4,500 winch can draw as much as 280 amps at max load! . . . That could be part of the reason the some consider a second battery as good insurance.

Makes sense to me. Does anybody know what the plug and play accessories pull in amps? My winch is wired to my main battery(factory installed) so I know i have that possible issue anyway.

There are so many possible accessories, you need to be more specific. I can tell you that smaller LED's like pod lights or rear back up lights will draw about an amp each. Not sure what the headlights draw, the LED version will be more efficient, guessing 6 amps on high beam, but I've not measured them. A Boss radio, maybe 3ish, depending on volume . . but a big amp and sub woofer in and it'll draw a lot more when you turn up the gangsta rap. If you install an underseat fan, that'll draw 3 to 4 amps. Most of the smaller things, phone charger, tablet for map, etc. will be less than an amp.

Mine is a Base model my dads and brothers are deluxe models. but after installing the light bar the headlights looked so out of place I changed them out for LEDS. much better. On a side note I have deluxe wheels and LEDS I should have bought a deluxe from the get go. I am happy not to have the color match panels. The black shows no scratches at all.
