running multiple off road lights USE THIS RELAY

for anyone who uses several high wattage off road lights

this is the relay to use

200 continuous amp load ( 300 amp peak )

just crimp and solder on eyelets and you are good to go

That's a little overkill for lights... it's really meant more for battery isolation & other super high amperage uses.
It will probably work as a standard relay, but it will probably have more current draw on the relay itself than a regular 5 pin 30/40a relay.
