how to set up multiple led lights?
 
I built a truck for a friend, with a lot of led lights because she likes them.
With multiple lights kits I was thinking of running both into the receiver using a splitter, but want to make sure I do this right and dont fry stuff. So if I need to get a bec or separate battery for the lights I can do that.

It has a roof light bar with a receiver plug and a control box plug.

And it has a 4 strip kit on the inside of the body with a receiver plug

Truck runs off 2s, with a stock tamiya esc.

I'd expect those LED kits to use sub-100mA current levels. They shouldn't tax a half-decent BEC.

Agreed, your not pulling hardly any power. Any bec could easly power that. You don't really need to worry until you start measuring those strip lights in feet.
