Hi all,

I want to buy some wire to extend the existing cable from:

A) 12v variable adapter (no earth)

B) 100LED solar panel lights

My questions are, will speaker wire do for extending this? I compared the diameters and they looked almost identical. Also, for the solar panel, I would like to this on my flat roof and add about 4m extra cable from it to inside the house where the lights will be placed, thus to get the most sunlight, where the only shadow are the clouds. With a device this low powered, will extra cable affect performance?

Many thanks.

a carefully place mirror will give you far more light

buy a 6w led light bulb for around £7 giving out around 45w equivilent it will burn for 12 hrs a day 365 for around £3 a year or 25p a month
 
Use cheap 5 amp twin core flex. Being thicker will mean the voltage drop along it will be less than using the same size thin cable as supplied.
