Hmm.  Well, I'm actually not sure at what amperage I would want the
fuse/breaker to blow/trip.  55W x 2 @ 12V = 9.2 amps and 100W (maybe
someday) x 2 @ 12V = 16.7 amps.  Do I want fuses/breakers rated at twice
the normal load?  1.5 times the normal load?  Is there a rule of thumb?

Are such breakers readily available?

Mississippi the state, not the river.
