Here it is - the finale! The last in this short series of electrical videos - wiring up my 12v LED lights.
I decided to install six lights in total and made sure to wire them up in parallel so that the power was distributed evenly. This also meant if one light was to fail, the other five would continue to work.
To wire each light in parallel, I used T-Tap connectors as they allow you to easily create a ’T-junction’ in the wiring.
I connected each light to the circuit using male and female cable connectors so that if I did need to replace a light, I can simply unplug it from the system.
For the light switch, I bought a cheap touch-sensitive dimmer switch that works a charm.
I don’t want to oversell it but this could be one of the greatest achievements of my life.
