How to wire 12 LED lights with a dimmer and remote control from one long positive and negative wire. You will learn how we used T splice connectors, bullet connectors, wire loom, 14 gauge AWG copper wire, 3 inch LED's, dimmer switch and remote, to create our wiring system for the lights. We use a wire cutting tool for stripping and cutting wires and show you a diagram of our wiring scheme.
Simple and easy to do. This was a much needed utility we needed in the Ford Transit RV build. After watching this video you will see how you can put lights anywhere in your van.
This was done on a 2018 Ford Transit Diesel Van built to be a home on wheels. This is a 15 seat passenger van, 350HD, High Roof, Power Stroke, Turbo Diesel, Extended, Dually, Camper Van, Conversion that will be my Tiny Home, and traveling RV Van. I try to show all the steps and details to make it easier for the next person converting their van.

I sure like the idea of using zip ties instead of running all through the holes in the van and then rubbing and later causing a short.

BTW good videos do not need music--it actually muddles the knowledge you are giving us.

Thanks for the tip on the music. I hate trying to find music to go with the video. I'll start using less music which will help me get these videos out faster.

Is this still something good to do for your led lights?

@Sr_iRL Жыл бұрын

I have one question; could you use the van metal frame/body as a ground to use only one wire (positive wire) and thus running less wire?

@sil8127 Жыл бұрын

Yes but in lots of cases you won’t have access to chassis when you’re at this stage of the build

@AmandaDanziger-tw9lp Жыл бұрын

I bought this same dimmer switch, how did you wire it?

@ChilliesWorld Жыл бұрын

Run the 12 volt wire from your fuse box into the dimmer switch. Then from the dimmer to all of your lights.

@MrMr123 Жыл бұрын

Dude its really you and your pops running them lights…. Can you use a Google Assitant to trigger scenes or dimming levels by voice 🗣️

@ChilliesWorld Жыл бұрын

I haven't looked into doing that, but I don't see why you couldn't add it

@Rudy1150 11 ай бұрын

Are you kidding me? It is this easy? Is this like some electrical secret that no one wants to talk about? Does every DIY and Pro van builder purposefully make this process so difficult when it can be done like this?!?!?!

@cloead 10 ай бұрын

no, wire taps are garbage and should never be used in any circumstance.

@greatcesarsghost Жыл бұрын

Why does everyone use puck lights I see LED light s about 5” long won’t they be brighter plus u would only drill a 1/4 inch hole to run wire and. Screw them on I doubt they use more power

@ChilliesWorld Жыл бұрын

I used the pucks because they were small, dimmable, and bright.
