    Hello
    The topic has already been discussed many times with led strips on other topics, I found answers to all my questions, except for one what cables to choose; / so I'm going to connect the rgb 7.2w / 1m led strip in the ceiling, the total length is 26 m and each 5m of the tape will be powered by a separate cable and just I do not know what the cross-section is, I was counting on the calculator, the wires were 4mm each. Two 5m strips will be close to the controller, that's where I think 4x0.5mm is enough, but the next 5m of tape is a 5m cable and the last strip is 10m away from the controller. And my question is what will be the cable cross-section for 5m and 10m
    I am pasting a plan more or less, how I am going to do it, maybe someone will write the appropriate cables on it

    best regards

    thanks for the answer, so it results that for a length of 5m 4x1mm is enough

    I do not want to set up a new topic, so maybe someone will answer me here, so, I ordered the ip20 led strip and the ip65 came in this kind of silicone and I do not know whether to mount it in a suspended ceiling where it will not be exposed to moisture, so I always worked on the ip20. After a few hours I am looking for some information about these ip65 on the forums and some people praise them and some say that there are no options in the ceiling that they are less viable, they shine less and are completely hopeless, maybe someone will advise what to do :-)
