Question:

Hi. I have a question about adding multiple lights to a circuit. Like if I added more than one set of tail lights will it make the others less bright. I am planning on buying LED lights for my newly remodeled trailer.

Yes, too many lights, be it tail lights like the Optronics FLEET Count LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # BUL12CFB or clearance lights like the LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light # MCL32RB can make them dim.

That said, LED lights are far less likely to do that, as they draw much less power; for example, the FLEET backup light only draws 0.260 amps, and the LED clearance only draws 0.06 amps, so you'll simply need to ensure you don't overload it based on whatever your converter is rated for, amperage-wise.

I have added a link below to our entire selection of LED lights for you to check out as well.
