Well, Im in the middle of my lex fixture design and my controller. I've a couple on troubles deciding which cable gauge to use for some applications.
1. Just run out of cable to wire my led fixture. My aquastyleonline kit came with 18 gauge cable (i think...it says 0.5mm2). Can i use 22 gauge cable that i've for electronics projects to wire the leds?
2. I need to comunicate the power box of the led fixture to my diy controller, i need to pass 4 5V PWM signals (for each led channel) and 12V power to power the controller itself. I'm planning on using DB9 (DB9) cable for that, it is good? the gauge of that cable can pass 12V?
also i accept any recommendations
