I'm in the process of upgrading my landing/taxi lights from Duckworks halogens to Baja Designs Squadron Pros. My B&C SS1 flasher works just fine wig-wagging my two 55W halogen bulbs but it does not appear that it will wig-wag the Squadron Pros that only draw 40W/2.9A each.
For anyone whose electrical math skills are better than mine (this includes probably anyone here on VAF), can you tell me what in-line resistor size I would need to make my B&C flasher think my Squadron Pros are pulling 55W? Would want the resistor to run as cool as reasonably possible and am not really too concerned about about saving an amp or two, so I'd rather error on the conservative side.
Yes, I am aware I could get a wig wag flasher designed for LED's, but would prefer to keep my existing wiring/switch setup.
Thanks for suggestions.
