Twenty (20) individual LED clearance lights that each draw .048-amps at 12-volts will have a total current requirement of less than 1-amp. But a long 150-foot total wiring run will mean some losses. I recommend using dual runs of 10-gauge wire # 10-1-1 to ensure you get the full brightness from all those LED lights.
