Wiring lights in a series

Ni9mm said:

This is a total newb electrical question. If you wire two lights, say two led cubes into one harness as opposed to using two separate harnesses running to the same battery is there any energy loss to the lights ?

I pretty sure the answer is no but I'm curious to know for sure. To better illustrate my question if I had six individual led strips with six red positive wires and same negative, then wired them to each other then to the battery with a single positive and negative wire would there be any power lost to each led ?

This may be the single most convoluted retarded question I've ever asked. Go ahead laugh with me. [emoji4]

That's the root of my question. How do you know the brightness wasn't affected ? If you had connected each light seperately with its own pos and neg lead wire maybe they would have been brighter .

I am probably way over thinking this and I have also done wiring this way and never felt I had an issue but now I'm wondering. Mostly because I'm bored and looking for knowledge and because I have a lot of lights being added this weekend. I was thinking my battery posts were gonna look like a stack of quarters with all the terminal leads.

Good to know I already knew. Haha. Thanks for the confirmation. I'm gonna be out of upfitter switches by Saturday evening. I want to add another bank of them but that's WAY out of my league.
