I'm going to be using this to control lights in display cabinets. What gauge wire should be used to run between the this and the LED lights?

Depending on how many LEDs you're using, but 20 Guage will probably be plenty. If you use a dimmer, make sure that you're using one that is a pulse width modulator and not just a potentiometer or rheostat.

It all depends on what you're using for lighting. If you're using the flexible LED rope lights, make sure you look at how many watts it's going to draw. If you're not sure, I wouldn't use anything smaller than 16 gauge wiring. But you also want to make sure that this transformer will also supply enough power for you, too.

Depends on how many strings you intend to string together. But 16-18 AWG should do it. I used high quality speaker wire from Home Depot.

I would hard wire for this application with a wall switch at house level. Not sure you need 12 gauge wire. I believe 14 will work.

All the answers below mirror my experience. Works with mono LED strip without a problem. Bought another to control under cabinet lighting in my other house.

If its a hard-wired chandelier, you should use 3-wire (with ground). If it's a plug-in, you can get away with two. Any lamp cord would (12 or 14 ga.) work, but because of the style, it's nice to use a wrapped cord.

16 gauge TIC cable is great. I have also used outdoor lighting cable with great success. Over the distance you are talking about, it doesn't really matter.

Most LED display lights are 1 to 3.5 volts DC. as a input voltage. You would need to look at the the voltage in requirements on your light display. What is your light input voltage AC or DC? What is your current requirements? Need more input.

This may be a little light for your use. I would use a heavier gauge wire. (10 or 15 gauge).

I would use 12 2 in make sure your not over the amps on the lights U use on 12 2 might check with your local codes the grey wire is 12 2 but it's got a coating on it for outside use make sure your not over powering the current on the breakers u use all factors should be note get a amp tester check your volts on the lights in how many lights your going to have in the circut

Hi More than enough if I counted my fingers correctly (ha ha) those two should draw less than 5 amps together(4.7 amps) this power supply will more than run the lights. You picked a good choice! I have one, love it! Oh! I almost forgot make sure you are using #14 gauge multi strand wire with an inline fuse holder with a 5 amp fuse it it blows go to 7 amp fuse.

I am not a licensed electrician, but here is my advice. I used this wire to power a bathroom exhaust fan. The run was less than 15 feet. I don't see a problem using it for a low voltage lighting application for recessed lighting in your kitchen. If you use 12 gauge wire make sure that you are not stepping up from an existing 14 gauge circuit. I hope my advice was helpful.

you should use 12 gauge wire, but you could use 16 gauge if not running long distance.

Hi, i would run a 16 or 18 gauge wire no need for anything larger than that 16 is fine, extend the wires connect them all together red to red black to black for as meny lighted cup holder as you want then run the black wire to the neg side of the battery then run a red wire to your switch and the other side of the switch to the pos side of the battery and your done good luck its easy to do if the wires on the cup holder are not color coded just use one wire for the neg and one wire for the pos (red) (pos)

In order to properly answer your question, you must also take into consideration the size of cable you are using. Bigger is better when it comes to the cable leading from your power pack out to your lights. If you are using 1) 300 watt circuit of this power pack, along with 12 gauge or 14 gauge cable, then you should be able to accomplish your task, but not so much if you are using 16 gauge or 18 gauge cable. Of course this could change if you are using a different power pack than is shown here.

Don't know the gauge. The light kit i have is xentec 10000k 55w and they work great. No issues. The wiring kit has a 40 amp max. If your light kit is in that range u should be fine.

I use the HitLights LED PCB Connector Box For 3528SMD connectors. They work great for connecting strips together once you figure out how to use them.

Yes. Should work. I'm using it to control kitchen cabinet led light. Works great.

Consider using multistrand, connector wire - it has less resistance. Check the current under various lighting conditions. Good Luck
