The voltage is 12 and will be wiring with a 12 position distribution board that will be wired together. I hope this explaintion will help.

You also didn’t mention the supply voltage you will be using. If using Incandescent lamps, knowing the voltage and current rating of the lamps is what you base your supply voltage on. It also matters weather you are wiring these up in series or parallel. As for LED’s, you’ll want to keep the current through each Led at around .015 amps.
You should Google Ohm’ Law, and study it to understand how it is used in the proper selection of resistors for a given load.
