Hi,
My first post to CPF. I am working on an idea for an indoor LED luminaire and would like to run a low voltage cable between the LED driver from the luminaire at a distance of 50 to 150 ft. The LED array is constant current...approximately 1050 mA at 35 volts. I've seen very little information about remote mounted drivers...the assumption seems to be that the LED driver is always co-located at the luminaire. Beyond choosing properly sized AWG cable (I am thinking about using CAT5 cable using all 4 pairs), I am concerned that EMI noise from the LED driver (especially when using dimming) may require a shielded cable. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks.
