[QUOTE="sb220, post: 8343994, member: 664339"] Im working on installing LED strip lighting in my truck camper shell and would like to have a switch in the cab and rear of the truck to switch on the same lights. I can wrap my head around wiring them up in series, creating a "master switch" closest inline to the battery. However, Im wondering if its ok to wire them up in some kind of parallel.... +--switch ............ \ ..............\___ Light ............../ ............ / +--switch Is that the way to do it or would it require diodes to prevent backfeed....can a power source actually backfeed on itself? Thanks [/QUOTE]
