I want to connect my Aerosun Vx landing/taxi lights to my VP-X using the VP-X wig wag feature as follows:
Left landing 5Amax per AeroLED to 5amp max pin on VP-X set to 5amps
Right landing 5Amax per AeroLED to 5amp max pin on VP-X set to 5amps
Both taxi lights 1.7A/each (3.4A) to 5amp max pin set to 5amps.

Does anybody think I may have nuisance tripping on the landing lights?
Does anybody sell 2C/#20SH for connecting these or should I just use 2ea 1C/#20SH for landing and Taxi

Personally, I would wire them to a 10A pin and set it for 7A, but thats me and i have spare power pins. Though AeroLED's list them at 5A max, presumably that is steady state and I have no idea if there is a brief period where they may draw more than that 5A and trip the ECB.

By the same token, even though I have a VP-X in the -9, I do not know if a 5A circuit will trip immediately it goes from pulling 4.999A to 5.001A or if there is a short time delay.

If you have the pins spare, it might pay to use a higher current pin than have to re-do it later after finding out a 5A pin isn't quite enough.

Thanks for the reply.

I am running low on higher value pins, thus the question.

You shouldn't see nuisance trips with those values.
