    Looking to run some Baja design lights as backup and also some possibly some scene lights. BD uses I believe 18ga wiring. Was originally wanting to run one wire to the rear and split it right before the lights. Then thought about the size of the wire and if it could handle double the electrical load. Anyone have any experience on this or thoughts?

    What BD model are you looking at?

    One S2 Pro draws 1.7a each, so 3.4 together. 16 awg can handle 5a up to 50ft;

    Yeah the S2 pros and the S1’s would be the two that I’m looking at. I am using 14 ga and maybe a 12 ft run. Sounds like I’m good. Thanks!
