“Voltage drop” is a gradual lessening of power through a wire over a long dlstance. The farther the light fixture is from the power source, the more voltage drop will occur. Voltage drop becomes a significant factor in any LED light installation when the dlstance between the lights and the power source is greater than 20 feet.
Voltage Drop
To minimize voltage drop, you can:
1. Use a thicker gauge wire (the lower the number, the heavier and thicker the wire) between the 12V-24V driver and the light.
2. Use multiple smaller power sources throughout a large installation.
3. Place the 12V-24V driver closer to the 12V-24V light by extendlng the wiring between 120V house power and the 12V or 24V driver, rather than between the 12V-24V driver and the light.
For optimum results, consult a qualified, licensed electrician prior to installation.

How Can Voltage Drop Affect An LED Lighting System?
Voltage drop is defined the amount of voltage loss that occurs through all or part of a circuit due to impedance. Wires, electrical components, and virtually anything carrying current will always have inherent resistance, or impedance, to current flow.

The importance of voltage drop for LED based lighting is that an LED requires a minimum amount of current to properly light. Less than the minimum current can cause an LED to flicker, operate less brightly, or shift in the color. This is often noticed in longer runs of LED tape light. The result is a perceivable shift in color or brightness dlfference in the LEDs on one end compared to the other.
How Can Customers Avoid Voltage Drop Effects With dlode LED Solutions?
This may be best demonstrated with a specific example using AVENUE 24™ Premium Tape Light. The specifications show that AVENUE 24™ can run up to 40 feet. Let’s make that work using the simple steps below.

1. Calculate the wattage required.
The specifications state that the AVENUE 24™ Premium Tape Light uses 2.09 Watts per foot. dlode LED tests the voltage drop within products and designates maximum runs. If you stay within the tested maximum run length, simply calculate the wattage per foot or per fixture to determine the proper driver capacity. The maximum run of 40 feet will require at least 83.6 Watts to properly power the AVENUE 24™ tape light array. (2.09 Watts per foot x 40 feet = 83.6 Watts)

2. Identify proper wire gage to run between the driver and LED luminance.
dlode LED products will only work as specified provided there is 3% or less drop in voltage between the Driver and the LED lights. The degree of voltage drop is determined by four main factors: voltage input (12V or 24V), wire run length, wire gauge, and total fixture load used by the lighting (Watts & amps).

An electrician or installer can use the chart below to determine the proper wire gauge for the installation. If in our example the driver is installed 20 feet from the Avenue 24 Tape light the second chart shows that the correct wire gauge is 16 AWG.
How To Use The Wire Gauge Chart:
Choose the upper or lower chart based on a 12V or 24V driver.
Follow the column down from your wattage to the dlstance between the driver and LED luminance in your installation.
The far left column will then show the wire gauge needed to deliver current with less than 3% voltage drop.

MULTI-CONDUCTOR WIRE
Multi-Conductor Wire - Black Multi-Conductor Wire - White
Multi-Conductor Wire offers the flexibility to accommodate large LED linear lighting installations. Whether you need to have two areas of a large room accented with full color LED lights that are on the same color controller, or you want to set up parallel runs of LED linear lighting, multi-conductor wire does the job. This wire is what you need for creating extensions between sections of strip and tape light, RGB light fixtures, and LED or DMX color controllers. This stranded wire is available in several gauges, and your choice of number of conductors to match the LED lighting type in your installation.
