How much load on a cig lighter?

Hello. I've been working on this idea for a while now and what I'm wanting to do is wire in my CB radio and radar detector into the circuit for the cigarette lighter (with their own in-line fuses and a switch to shut the circuit off). This would leave my actual cig lighter port open for my phone charger or a map light or whatever else I would want.

Ultimately, would this circuit take the load of a CB radio, radar detector, and one other small item at once? Or would I be better off to wire these items into another circuit and if so, which one?

I doubt I would ever have my CB, radar, and something on the cig lighter at once, but I think that the cb and radar det. would be left on quite a bit....
