led lights and placeing

[Doug Metheny]

hello guys im asking your guys opinion on buying led lights for my truck right now i am wanting to buy bullet lights like on a semi and mouint 5 on my roof 3 in the middle and 2 on each side n then mout a visor with lights then put a red led light for brakes on each side of the cab by the rear window and a white for (revs) lights also and now for a few questions where else should i mount lights i want lots of them my first idea was just run them aroud the lower body like on a semi but idk so do u guys have any ideas that i could barrow form you thanks n please post your ideas

ps. what about all the power thoese lights will need? do i need to find a bigger altanator and bigger battery or what?
and im also about to head down to the mid america trucking show in louisvill kentucky on the 26 so ill prob be picking up some lights there as well
and all the lights would be ran to toggle switchs

LEDs use VERY little power. You can light the whole truck up like a Christmas tree and it would probably still be well under 15 amps. So, no alternator upgrade is necessary. To give some perspective, my LED cargo lights use 33mA. Which is 0.033 amps.
