Does the Optronics Opti-Brite LED Work Light - Flood Beam have a Switch

Question:

I have an enclosed trailer with a 12v deep cycle marine battery wired to power interior lights. I want to use one of these lights as a flood for the side door and one light as a flood for the rear door. 1. Does this light have an independent switch on it, or do I need an additional switch dont always need the flood light to come on when the interior lights are on? 2. Would it be too much for my 12v battery to run both of these lights at the same time for at most 2 hours at a time?

Opti-Brite LED light # TLL45FB does not have a switch so you would need to wire it to its own switch such as # PK34571 and to the trailer battery. For wire you could use # 12-2-1 which is jacketed 2-wire sold by the foot.

The light draws 1.38 amps at 12.8 volts so the draw of 2 of them would be about 2.8 amps total. Your deep cycle marine battery likely has more than enough of an amp hour rating to run 2 of these LED flood lights for 2 hours.
