Thanks Andy! :thumbsup:

You've been stuck.

I guess this tread is a good funnel for this question.

What gauge wire is generally used from the controller to the leds, then star board to star board?
I'm leaning towards on of the flex boards and cree xr e's

Also, solid core wire or stranded?

Just trying to get a good handle on what things to have on hand rather than starting a project and having to stall it to get what I should of had.

Thanks!!

Jeff - I think you'll get WAY more responses (up to *infinitely* more!) by starting a new thread with your question. Doesn't belong here in Andy's domain. This is just for pointing out other threads.

To quickly answer: I use 24g most often these days. And I use solid or stranded depending on how often I'll need to flex them. Solid is often easier to work with, stranded is more flexible.
