DC load output multiple wires?

[DannyG]

Hi everyone,
I have a 12v 20A output current solar charge controller .
My question is, can I attach multiple wires into the same DC load slot? I currently have one wire attached for a light, but I would like to add a second light. I just checked the controller and the first light is drawing .4 A. My concern is if two wires for two separate dc loads would be an issue.

If it's an issue, I will attach a drawing for an idea I also have.

Thanks in advance

Depending on your wire size you might be able to fit the 2 wires in each load terminal. Your drawing seems to be overly complicated with 3 switches and T-splices. If the idea is to have a light switch at the top and bottom of the stairs it would require a 3 way type of switch would mean extra wire running to the light and back to the switches. This would make for a situation where the switch you have going to the second light would not always have power to it.

Yes, bad drawing. The second light is in the bathroom. The first light in the main room. The first light with two switches already exists. This would be a little hack idea

as long as you dont exceed the output amps you can do about anything. I'd run a single wire to a distribution block.
