Milwaukee powered trailer lights @Milwaukee Tool #trescolighting
Transcript
These are my trailer lights. Powered off a Milwaukee 18 volt battery. Tier multiple switch and USB charger. I don't really use that, but this is my switch for the lights. Lights. This is my total disconnect. Disconnects my battery from everything else, so there's no power draw. So turn that on worst. Turn that. Got a dimmer. Tim's them down. Open this thing up and so I will voltage disconnect no it doesn't overdraw the better. My, unit that transfers whatever voltage into it down to 12 volts for the light and inline fuse in there. If you're interested about these, this setup, I actually did a whole YouTube video walking through how I watered it.
