I am wiring an extension, all work being done under BC and am planning on using 4 LED uplighters to illuminate a 4 x 3.5m room via its vaulted ceiling.
The LED's I have are max 32V @700mA constant current devices and the drivers I have are 24V DC input DC-DC converters whose worst case open circuit voltage is 75V and therefore the max I can drive from one converter is 2 lights in series.
Control is via a 5V negligable current 1kHz PWM signal via a wall mounted potentiometer.
Can I cable the LED's and control gear using Cat5-e cable- I have some Belden shielded cable that is rated @ 450V DC & 300 AC and 1.4A per core?
I plan to mount the PSU's and DC-DC converters on a wall mounted board adjacent to the consumer unit so cable runs are likely to be max ~10m and wanted to minimise any RFI by earthing the shield & DC return.
Does this sound a sensible approach?
