Hi everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Disclaimer - I will have a licensed electrician look at this before any DIY work is performed so I'm really just looking to learn and to identify any errors in advance.

Would you kindly provide insight into the attached? I'm looking to run LED on a 12v system within a converted school bus and I would welcome feedback.

I used Blue Sea's online wire calculator to determine the gauge. Wire gauge increased because I elected the options: "circuit terminates at a fuse" and that the wiring was installed within an insulated area.

Questions:
  1. I calculated the round trip wire distance between the battery and the physical distance to the furthest light. I did not sum the entire length of wire required to run the entire circuit. Does this sound right?
  2. Does the switch wiring look correct? I haven't selected actual switches to review their wiring setup.
  3. Overall, any feedback? It's ok to just tell me to go back to the drawing board if it's way off base.
Thanks much!

Eric Hildebrand
