The strobe unit you have, should have a plate on it with the info on how many Amperes it draws. Your radio should have the same thing. Nav lights, not LED, are usually less than 1 Amp.
Simply add up all the amps marked on your equipment or in the manuals and make sure the total is no more than 80% of the output of the 582 lighting coil. (16 * .8 = 12.8A) If you wire in a load meter which reads the amps being used by the system then you wi8ll be safe to go to the full 16 Amps.

Newer Strobes ~ 1A
Nav lights ~ 1A if that much
Radio ~ 500 ma receive / up to 5A Tx. You should have plenty of power!

582 Drivers, I am rebuilding a Mod 3 that was originally equiped with a 912 that I am installing a 582 in. the plane has strobes, nav lights and a radio. I fear that my lighting coil will not put out enough power to handle all those electrics. I remember seeing a set up for an auxillary alternator belt drive off of the prop hub., maybe from CPS, I don't know. I remember that it seemed to cost 3 X what I thought it should. Anyone out there have experience with one or have designed one yourself.
