Ziptips Wiring

Working on wiring the ziptips so studying the only piece of info that came with them, this diagram: https://www.aveoengineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AveoZipTip-III_wiring_RevD-scaled.jpg

1st question is to those who have installed Ziptips along with a VP-X. My understanding is the VP-X is very sensitive to overcurrent conditions, and the Ziptips diagram has you using a 10A breaker to protect a 10A load? For the strobes, it's two 5A peak loads on 1 10A breaker, and for the landing lights it's two 5A continuous loads on a 10A breaker. Has anyone had any issues with VP-X tripping when strobes or landing lights come on?

2nd, Aveo specs 2 AWG 20 wires on a circuit protected by a 10A breaker. Should I upsize this to AWG 16 and replace the wires in the pre-made harness or am I missing something?

Hey did you ever receive any information on this? Also have you tested it with the VPX to see if the wig wag works properly through the vpx. I’ve seen some stuff about a delay issue.
