I'm planning to install some RGBW +WW around the ceiling of a small bathroom room.
Data is:
Length 10M in total
24V
10W/M
By my calcs that's 8.33A so I'll need a min of 10A rated cable.
I'd like to use a single multicore flex such as YY 7 core 1.5mm to keep things neat and well within the cable rating - I may split the run into two to reduce the load and use 1.0mm.
My questions are:
1) Is flex OK to use from the controller/driver? Flex length no more the 5M.
2) YY 7 core only seems to come in earth plus black numbered cores. Is this OK to use?
This is what I'm considering using:
