Afternoon all.

Looking to see if anyone has an idea of how much a 3 rotator Centurion light bar would draw.
A buddy got a deal for a 3 rotator bar off one of the fire trucks at work. And now he is looking to wire it up in his man cave over the bar. Looking to see how big of an invertor he needs.
Thanks for your help

The centurion had both 35 and 50 watt rotators. To be safe call each rotator 6amps. So a 20 amp inverter should cover it.

Awesome. Thank you. I had figured on the 50watt bulbs and converted to amps. What I was unsure was the motors.
I was hoping the 20 amp would cover it.
Thank you again.

Sure thing. Most motors I've found to draw about an amp give or take. The 20amp supply should be fine.

Good luck!
