I'm just want to know if my optima re led top battery will hold up if I turn on my headlights and 4 offload lights at the same time.

I have a red top and 4 hella 500's on the front and I can power all that and have my sub-woofer pounding music at crazy levels and I have never had a problem. I also have just the stock alternator. So you shouldn't have a problem. I may have a problem soon when I put 4 more light on the roof lol!

I have two 130 watt spot lights on my a-pillar and I'm planning on putting four 55 watt driving lights on my bumper and roof. All of those lights draw they all together are 480 watts which is 40 amps.

You will be fine, I have a red top and stock alternator, 6 130watt lights on the roof along with other miscellaneous electronics. I've also left my electrical fan on for about 6 hours while at work, came back outside and it started back up on the first try
