Lighting question in regards to Alternator output
So I'm running right now 2 Rigid Ind D2 that says on the box there 17w. I dont know if thats per or for both. I set it up like NewJerseyXJ609 thanks to his post in the build I just tried to copy the hole and area via my lights.
I want to get a few more lights and need to know a stock 1989 Cherokee XJ alternator output in watts to see how many I could run. I might need to get a spare battery for the 4 lights I want to put on the roof rack.
Thanks.

90 amps at 14.5volts is 1300watts.
You shouldn't have anything to worry about unless you start running like 6 day lighters or something. If you stick with LED you probably couldn't mount enough lights to make the electrical system even notice.
