Default LED wiring question

Im installing my light kits today, got a question though,
Im going to install 3 switches one for exterior, one for interior and one for the killer glass. Im going to wire the kits independenly, but my question is, with the power wire and ground wire, would I be safe just running 1 power wire (15 amp fuse) and splitting it to the switches or should I run all 3 switches independently wired and independently fused?

Thanks

One fuse should be fine as long as the wire is the right size and the load does not excede 15 amps.It would be safer to run 3 fuses at what you need for each load.That way if there is a problem with one you dont have to carry the full 15 amps to blow the fuse and lose all the other lights.

^^^ Same suggestion as above. Its always best to put a fuse in each line.

I have 2 switches. One for my UB kit, and one for all of my interior LED's and Cathodes.

I got power by using an add-a-circuits. Put a fuse in line for before each switch, close to the power source as possible is best.
I've had no problems yet and its been about 6 months.
