im planning to get a major LED/cathode setup in my car. heres my setups
switch1- 1 4 chip led in all my airvents (6
switch 2 - 1 4 chip led in all cupholders and 1 in the front spaces on rear cupholders0 6
switch 3- under dash kit( 2 maybe cathodes under dash)
switch 4- 4 9.5 flex strips under wheels ( maybe add more in engine bay when my wallet heals some)
all from oznium.com (green ftw)
my questions are should i use a different power source or iis the battery ok
what gauge power wire and what fuse should i use for this
and lastly how should i power the switches?
tap one switch to all the switches?
or seperate power wire to each switch

sorry if this seems like alot of questions but i just want to get it right so i can figure out what exactly im going to buy

 

why are you using so many switches? why not just one switch for interior lighting?

if you must use all those switches then run a 8 or 10awg wire from the battery into your car, fuse it with a 15 or 20amp fuse then tap that wire for all the switches and all the power lines...

 

8 or 10 gauge for that? that's WAY overkill.... all that lighting is going to pull about 4 amps lol

 

thats not the final plan but i want to be able to choose what i wnt to lightup
im probably gonn join the under dash or lights and cupholders

 

once you start glowing you dont stop. (you should know neothin) but with 10 it will save him from having to run more power lines when he adds more lights.

 

so go 10 gauge and tap the other switches into it?
any udeas on a fuse?

but my final idea is to have at least 10 switches turning something on
but i want my sw to glow true green when fully lit

Question
im going for a huge sysem for my tc with about
14 4 chip LEDs
4 oem rockers no LED tips
1 cathode kit
4 9.5 flex strips.
would that require 10 or 16 gauge and what fuse should i use?
Answer
14 x 4-chip superflux LEDs @ 80ma each = 1.12 amps
1 x cathode kit @ 700ma each = 0.7 amps
4 x 9.5" flex strips @ 160ma each = 0.64 amps
--------
Total: 2.46 amps

How about using a 5 amp fuse, and either the 10 or 16 gauge fuse holder will work fine.
