Hello everyone,
I am just getting into this hobby and am starting with rgb on my house. Following a design from a YouTube video, the plan is to put strip inside alluminum channels on the ridge lines of the house. Where I am running into trouble is with power injection wire. I am trying to make it clean and not have wires showing everywhere so I was going to run the power injection wires inside the channel with the led strip. But in following a guide I saw on here about power injection and using 14AWG wire, the outdoor 14/2 cable doesn't fit in the channel. So my curiosity is i have a lot of 14 guage THWN cable that will fit with the led strip in the alluminum channel, it is rated for wet conditions, but i am not sure if I can use this method legally and safely. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
