Hey Bev, Just to clarify a couple of things. 1) They are LED lights specifically meant for a vehicle (car/boat/rv) right? 2) When you say 'these two circuits are blown' does that mean the breaker trips on those two circuits? 3) Did the installer pull new wires or reuse the existing wires? James

t: Re: Stus-List Wiring No matter what the application, the size/gauge of wire is a function of distance and current draw. Our very own web site, thank you Stu, has all the info you need to determine wire size. Remember distance is the return journey, not just one way. See:

Re: Stus-List Wiring

David,Each application may require a different kind of wire.  The Monitor wire is probably small current flow, 16 gauge or smaller like lampcord.  The solar panel probably requires heavier wire, # 4 or larger like jumper cables?  I'd follow the manufacturer's recs and buy that type, a little longer
