I like to use extension cords for trailer lights and brakes. Either 14 or 16g. My electric brakes on 10k dump trailer has a combined resistance of 1 ohm. So each volt applied to the brakes uses one amp. My tekonsha brake controller shows the volts applied. 4-5 volts is the most my brakes gets under heavy braking.

My tail lights are LED, so the amps aren't a concern either.

I like using extension cords because of the extra layer of insulation. Had to replace the brake wiring on dump trailer, because the wire was shorting out on the frame. The OEM wire was run inside the frame tubing.
