N00b Electronicizer Question

[RandomGuy]

Ok i suck at electrical shit, I had a very noob question. Please dont make a new section called "electronicizing" and move this there. Ok Heres my situation. I drew it out:

Would both light bulbs glow at the same brightness? I do know that electrons follow the path of least resistance, but dont wires have resistance, and the longer the wire, the more the resistance, right?... Pardon my newb question.

[redlinenprelude]

if thay have equal power the output will be the same..

[RandomGuy]

lets say the source puts out 12V... the first splice has two different length wires... how would the power distribution be like?

[redlinenprelude]

the light with the longer wire wont come on as fast..

[RandomGuy]

dude.. are you making this shit up or do you actually know what youre talkin about.

[5thgcelica]

the light with the longer wire wont come on as fast..
true

[redlinenprelude]

i have no damn idea bro.. but it sounds right..lol

[5thgcelica]

i would say that probably it wouldnt come on as quickly, but i highly doubt the human eye would be able to tell and it'll probably be dimmer as well.

[RandomGuy]

lol... nah ppl... i need answers from ppl who know, no offense. I have some guesses too... lol

thanks for the guesses tho.

[redlinenprelude]

anytime! lol

They will be the same brightness.

[Hulud]

someone has homework?

[Bajjani]

should be the same power..and they will turn on just as fast..have you ever seen lights turn on slowly because they were further away from a light switch? you cant tell..but they shud be the same brightness i'd imagne..the length of the wire shudnt affect it that much but if the 2nd light was behind the 1st bulb *power had to go thru the first to get to the 2nd* ud see an obvios difference..i do believe

[Hulud]

but anyways they will have the same brightness but both will be dimmer compared to if you had just one bulb from that battery

[RandomGuy]

nah its for some lights im putting into my car, it has some type of blue secondary that you have to hardwire in. I am hooking it up to a nonfunctional switch in my switch cluster.

dude.. are you making this shit up or do you actually know what youre talkin about.


HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! :lmfao:

Is this a kit or are you just wiring up some lights and mounting them?

DC power travels from the negative side to the positive so essentially the current is already there it is just waiting on you to throw the switch and complete the circuit.

nah its some new HIDs im installing, on the assembly of the whole thing, there is a small ass blue light with wires on the back... im hardwiring those wires just so i can see what the lights look like.

The resistance from the extra 2 ft of wire would be minute, and hard to measure. Also the difference in brightness will be impossible to tell even though there will be a difference (not visible to the human eye). You can take any 2 lightbulbs, and they will never illuminate the exact same just from minute differences during the manufacturing process (even if they came off the same assembly line). Your thinking too much. You can cut 2 ft of wire, and then use the same yard stick to cut another 2 ft. They will not be exactly the same length. One will be thousandths of a millimeter off from the other.
