I got warned about the wire gauge so I went investigating

Silly me. I knew I must have given the wrong info somewhere because my wires aren't getting hot ( not even at the connectors ) . I went and traced the invoice ( 18 months ago from online incentive program ) and found that the wire I bought was rated at 2500 Watts. ( and probably have a bit extra for safety )

So

2500W/240V = 10.4A

I doubled up the wire so that should give me just more than 20 Amps which is enough for the spots ( 220W/12V = 18.3A ).

Am I correct in my reasoning here?
