Why owners do it
Many mini excavators have no lights, or a single small lamp. LED lights draw little current and make a big difference.
What is involved
- Mount lights on the canopy or boom where they will not be hit.
- Wire through a relay, fuse and switch from the battery.
- Seal every connection against water and dust.
Typical parts
- LED work lights
- Relay, fuse and switch
- Automotive cable and sealed connectors
Check before you start
- Check charging capacity before adding several lights.
- Aim the lights so they do not dazzle people around the machine.
