Four lights is four lights.  I said it was a Peeve... not particularly
rational, but easy not to trigger.  Really I do judge by whether I'm
being blinded or not,  & if one of those 2 or 4 or 6 lights is shining
in my eye, 560 watts is quite a nasty flash.

I dunno really, I bet one of the 5k people answers you though.  I got my
juice from the output post of the alternator.  As I recall the jumper
post is an insulator with a bolt going through a big eyelet on the end
of a fat wire?  get an eyelet that fits the bolt, add another fat wire,
fuses etc and you're home.

The back of my "spare" (cracked) Hella 5 1/4" unit is greenish grey
metal.  They don't melt, anyway.
