[QUOTE="AAH, post: 110372, member: 543"] Welcome to ACL As the lighting is low voltage there really isn't much in the way or legal requirements. 6 wire 14/0.2 security cable tends to be quite small diameter and is generally quite weather resistant. If you use 3 conductors for - and 3 for + you end up with about 1.32mm2 (approx 16AWG) per polarity. The cable is usually quite cheap because it has a lot lower insulation thickness because it is only low voltage rated. Alternately you could run 2 cables which would give you the equivalent of 14AWG per polarity. Depending on which strip you use you will have dramatically different power requirements. Strip varies from about 10 pixels per metre in 12V strip at 5m lengths up to 144 pixels per metre in 5V at 3V per strip. In just about all cases once you go beyond 1 strip you need to power inject at each strip junction. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
