Question about wiring multiple lights?

Alright folks, I've searched high and low here and the TW forum with little to no luck.

So I have 4 Baja Designs Squadron Pro pod lights that I would like to wire up to my roof rack, I would like them all on one switch (I have a switch pros 8 panel I'm also installing) my question is would I be able to splice these all into one wiring harness?

My understanding through a little research is a 14g copper wiring harness can handle up to 15amps, each pod draws 3.33amps for a total of 13.32amps which makes me think this is a possibility. Also each switch on the switch board can handle 18amps.

The goal here is to minimize the amount of wiring as I currently have a rats nest. Any and all input would be nice. And please don't bash too hard, I understand electrical can be tricky and there are hazards with it, I'm hoping to learn from some of you seasoned guys. Thanks!

Use the switch to trigger a relay, have that relay power a small fuse block (search for 12v blade fuse holder or 12v blade fuse block) where you connect each light.

I recommend having at least a couple spare spots on the fuse block (i.e. get a 6-fuse holder for your 4 existing lights) and sizing the power for the fuse block sufficient for future capacity to add additional lights.
