LED cabling?

[souljas]

Hi, just wondering what cable people use for LED wiring, and where can I get some from...

I know people have used Telephone cable for the wiring, is it also possible to use some Cat5 for this kind of cabling?

hi there what kinda voltage you lookin at putting down it

not a lot at all really, im only using 4 x 1watt bubble style LED's.

what cable would I have to use for higher wattage also?

Just about any wire will be OK as far as handling the current required for a few LEDs. The only thing you need to worry about is the mechanical properties of the cable - will it stand up to use without breaking.

Solid core cable, such as cat5 or telephone, might break if it's handled roughly. Cheap bell wire might be better.

just another question, I have to wire the LED's in the same circuit as my LV downlighters. Can I just connect the LED transformer on the end of my LV light daisy chain?

cheers
