I am going to install something that draws just under 1 amp in the rear of the cargo area. It's a set of 2 LEDs to better light the cargo area, and I want it to be on a constant power source, so I can put a switch on it and not hook it up to the rear cargo light. I suppose I could splice it onto the rear cargo light, but I would prefer the constant power source.
I found a constant power source, something that goes to the rear a/c. So, my question is does that sound like a bad idea? I don't feel like running a wire from the battery back, and I don't have an alternate fuse block wired in to run it off of (no other accessories at the moment requiring one). The wire I was going to splice into is on a 10A fuse, so no worries there. The LEDs will not be affected by the potential 10A current. Should a dedicated wire be used instead?
Just for your information: a power puck will be used, a potentiometer to dim or brighten the LEDs, and a capacitor as well.
Thanks for teh advice.
