Fuse Block

So i have read through threads about fuse block holders and have a few ?'s. All the threads were a year old so i didnt want to dig up old threads.
But my questions are how many amps can i draw from this?
Like would 5 100 Watt Halogen lights, and 8 LED lights be to much for this?
And is there any problems with running a wire directly from the battery terminal to the block? Or should i put an in line fuse, like for an amp, in between?

Thanks in advance

What is the amp draw of the lights? As is stated each slot can only support 30amps and the block can handle 100amps at once. When I had it hooked it up I ran a circuit breaker in-line from the battery to the circuit breaker.

Check out how Barlowrs did his:

42 Amps from the 5 halogens plus whatever the LEDs draw.

 

So do you think i should be fine to run these?
