Wire gauge is dependent upon the amperage of the circuit.
Although you indicate the volts and the fact that there are 3 lights, you do not specify the current draw of the bulbs.
Some aircraft landing lights are up to 450 Watts, or more. 3 of them would result in a total of 1350 Watts, which at 12 Volts =
- Volts * Amps = Watts
- 12 * Amps = 1350
- Amps = 1350/12
- Amps = 112.5
It would be recommended that you NOT use less than a 1 AWG Copper wire for THAT application.
However, smaller lights would use significantly less amperage.

How do you convert 24 volt trailer lights to 12 volt?
To convert 24 volt trailer lights to 12 volt, you will need to install a voltage regulator or resistor in the circuit to reduce the voltage to 12 volts. Alternatively, you can also replace the 24 volt lights with 12 volt lights designed for trailers.
Low voltage lights equivalent to 110 volt lights in watts?
To convert low voltage lights (e.g. 12 volts) to wattage equivalent to 110 volt lights, you would divide the voltage by 10. For example, 50 watts in a 110 volt system would be equivalent to a 5 watt bulb in a 12 volt system.
I have ten 12 volt 10 watt lights what transformer do you need?
To power ten 12 volt 10 watt lights, you would need a transformer with a total output of at least 120 volts and 100 watts.
How do you install 12 volt lights on 48 volt cart?
In order to install 12 volt lights on a 48 volt cart, you will need to use a voltage reducer to step down the voltage from 48 volts to 12 volts. This will allow the lights to operate properly without getting damaged. You can connect the lights to the 12 volt output of the voltage reducer and follow the wiring instructions provided with the reducer for proper installation. Be sure to follow all safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
Can you use a 125 volt switch for 6 volt?
Yes, the switch is limited to 126 v so should be ok for 6 v. Switches are also rated for maximum current so you need to be sure that it is not overloaded.
How do you install a autometer gauge in a Mazda 626?
It really depends which sort of GAUGE you have. For example; you couldn't wire a volt meter to the oil pressure switch.
Where do you attach the neutral in a 240 volt switch?
Unless the switch has a pilot light on it there is need for a neutral connection to the switch.
Where can you get a 12 volt photocell dusk to dawn switch to control a series of low volt lights hooked up to a 12v battery and solar panel?

What would cause the brake lights in a 95 civic to never come on even though the tail lights work and the fuses are good?
There may be a cut in the wire(s). You will need a Digital Volt Meter to test the wire(s) at your brake light. There is a switch that is actuated when you apply pressure to the brake pedal. If the switch is malfunctioning your lights won't come on.

We have a gauge on our race car that requires 12 volts of power.Our cars battery is a 16 volt battery. Do we need to step down the voltage going to the gauge so it does not burn out?
Are you SURE your car is 16 volt?? I've seen 6 volt systems and 99.9% of the cars are 12 volt. So double check you numbers. I have NEVER seen a 16V battery in a car.
When did Chevrolet switch from 6 volt to 12 volt?
