wiring RC Black series Light Bar

[Rockledge]

I purchased the RC S&D 120 watt 9600 lumen dual light bar with the IAG mini bull bar and mounted it to my new Modular bumper.
My question is this ? It comes with it's own wiring harness which has a 30 amp fuse inline,and it's own on/off switch with relay.
Should I leave the harness as is - or would it be better to just use my AUX switch and cut off the Relay and switch off of the included harness?
What would the correct aux switch to use ?

120 watts is only 10 Amps. You'd be safe wiring it to any of the upfitter switches without the relay. If you want a safety margin and want to allow for future accessories, wire it to SW 2. It's fused for 15 A.

Save the relay and switch for another project.

edit: I've been thinking... If it were me, I'd wire it to SW2. Runnng a 10 amp light on a circuit with a 10 amp fuse is asking for blown fuses from time to time.

Thank you . I also thought it was only 10 amps.Just wasn't sure because they had a 30 amp relay.

A 30 amp, 12 volt relay is about as close to a generic relay as you can get.
So they're easier to find and cost less than lower amperage relays.

Also using a 30 amp relay allows them to have only one SKU for relays.
