Does Curt 56016 T-Connector Have Capacity to Run Multiple LED Lights
Question:
I am changing my trailer over to LED signals and running lights. I am putting in an extra running/brake/signal unit on each side as my deck is very low and tailgaters dont see my existing signals. That is, two complete LED brake/running signal lights on each side. Max draw should be just over 1.2 amps per side or 2.4 total with brakes applied and 4-way flashers on. Is there any reason that would cause a problem?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Given the fact that LED lamps draw only a fraction of the power that a comparable incandescent bulb does, adding 2 extra fixtures should not present a problem in the least, especially since you're replacing all the incandescent with LED lamps. This will seriously decrease the amperage draw and allow some extra capacity for adding the lamps you mentioned. The # 56016 T-Connector wiring harness you mentioned has plenty of capacity at 3 amps per circuit for Stop/turn lights and 6 amps per circuit for tail lights.
