I have about 4 led switches I am wiring up for, lights, backups etc. Can I Run them all to one hot spot and one ground, instead of running 4 hot wires and 4 grounds? I hope this makes sense, thanks

And if you have all four switches on, it'll be drawing from that one hot spot. I hope that one wire is big enough to handle the load of all 4 switches. Also be sure to fuse it. And if the fuse goes, you'll lose all four switches. I'd run four hots fused seperately and run gounds to be safe.

You should be fine to bus them all together. Check the amperage on your lights, you might should put them on a relay to be safe. If you plan on having all those lights on at once I would definately put them each on their own relay. Hookem2004 is right if you blow the main power fuse you lose it all.

run one hot only if you use the switches to turn on a relay then you will be fine

:exactly: Just to be safe...

SHould have explained better. All sets of lights have their own reley. The only reason the lights need a hot is for the led to come on when the switch is in the on position.

For what you just explained then one power and one ground will do, just use a fuse to prevent a short to ground down the road.
