Default Skycraft Landing Light Question

Jay, I have RMD wingtip lights on my Arrow, plus the nose bowl so I
think my total amperage will be the same as yours. I have the 2
wingtip lights on a single separate rocker switch in the group. The
plane was this way when I bought it, so I don't know what got
displaced. My strobe switch is way out in right field, and the
autopilot is in left field, with a separate avionics switch, so maybe
one of those.
I like having the tip lights by themselves. They last a lot longer
than the one on the nose bowl so I often use them routinely when flying
around Chicago. I haven't had any problems in 5 years with the single
switch, so if the switch, breaker, and wiring will all support the
amperage draw a single circuit should be fine.

The standard switch bank order (from left to right) was : Master,
Fuel pump, Landing light, Beacon (strobe), Pitot heat.

Sound like whomever did your installation displaced the beacon/strobe
switch.
