No doubt. But what sort of cable can you get that can carry up to 40A ?


Can't believe I asked that ! You just connect up several in parallel, of
course.

Or buy some...

Car speaker cable would probably do 100A easily.

Car jump leads will do about 400A.

The croc clips might short together when you clip them onto the
light fittings, but you can always cut them off and taper the
conductor strands down to something that will fit the
terminals..... NOT!
