Anybody give me an idea where I can purchase 20AWG in line fuses? I have all my LED lights installed but now I need to run the power. Somebody told me I should fuse the leads.
But, where can I buy the 20AWG in line fuses? I am asking about 20awg cause that is what size wire comes out of my led's
Thanks in advance

For wiring that light any in-line fuse holder and fuse will be fine. Just be sure the amperage of the fuse is appropriate for your load.


Radio shack, parts express, Amazon.

Just go to Orileys or Autozone, this is what you want, this one is sized to take a 30 amp fuse, you can go down in fuse size, just not over. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/LIT3/FHA2BP /N1177.oap?ck=Search_fuse+blocks+%26+holders_-1_-1&keyword=fuse+blocks+%26+holders

What kind of lights? What's the current draw?

As long as the wire on the fuse holder is the same or larger than the leads coming from the lights you're good to go. Then you just need to figure out the fuse size. If you're just running some LED strips/accent lighting, etc. a 5A is most likely fine; but I'll need to hear back from you with a few more specifics before I can give a definite recommendation.

Lights, on 1 section I have approximately 10' , 1 section I have approximately 5' and the last section I have approximately 4 '. All strip lights.
Draw..... I have no idea.
I do know the wire that is used is 20 AWG, so I thought that was the important part.
Thanks for,the help

So you're just talking about strips...5 amp fuse should be fine.
