I have a potentially stupid question, although I'd rather ask then risk damaging any of my lights I own. If I wanted to test my two rotators to see if they work, can I just touch the live wire to the car battery, or will that end badly? I apologize if this is already listed here somewhere already (maybe I searched the wrong words). Thanks so much everyone, I appreciate it.

So both being single wire, I just ground the base of the rotator to the ground on the battery? Thanks for the info, I appreciate the help.

Take the extra precaution and get into a regular habit of putting an inline fuse. 20a should be doable.

Listen if it is a modern light then there is a red for positive black for ground. If you have and old skirt beacon then use a ground wire for the skirt then the positive for the motor same goes for any light you may own and reverse polarity on rotators not a big deal ither but on strobes unless it is a cheap light always pos & neg only. Most newer strobes have polarity protection built 
in.
in.Thanks for all the responses, I appreciate it. The lights I currently own are a Unity RV-26 With red Spitfire lens, and two Dominion Auto 357 (I believe that's the right model #) rotators. So hooking up the 20A inline fuse would be on the POS I would presume? Thanks again guys!
