Greetings
I am wiring an RV-8 and have two dimmer controls one of which is for back up instruments and a snake/map light. The wire from the back up alt,airspeed and mag compass need to be extended to reach the dimmer control and I want to know if I can connect them all together to one 20awg wire that goes to the dimmer control or should they be extended separately to the dimmer control? (or does it make no difference)

Electrically, it makes no difference, as long as the one wire is capable of
carrying the current for all 3 lights.

A further thought though Jerry is that if you ever want to add extra
dimmers or resistance to match the intensities of the various lights,
it might be handy to already have all the wires come back to the dimmer
depending on your layout.
