I need to run four high beam (9005XS) bulbs in parallel using either a battery or a power supply. The inrush current is killing my power supply. Can I use a current limiting supply that will provide, say, 45 Amps until the lamps reach steady state and settle back down to 20 Amps? Or, do I really need to supply 200 Amps for a brief period of time? How long does the inrush current last on a halogen bulb?
I currently have no relay or other harness type switches inline. Just the power supply or battery directly to the lamps. Can I do this with a car battery? Any danger in running the car battery directly to the lamps? (Other than the danger of shorting the battery....)
