TRUPOWER TIP

Today's laws regarding vehicle lighting, coupled with increasing demands on vehicle electircal systems, makes selection critical for safe vehicle operation. A 10% drop in voltage due to incorrect wire sizing may reduce lamp brightness by 50%.
Voltage loss becomes an even more critical issue in multiple trailer configurations.
