Extending length of 10W Floods from CMB24D

Hi
I was wondering if anyone has extended the length of their LOR 10W Floods beyond the 16feet from the CMB24D controller?  If so, did you see any issues?  I was looking to at least double the length on some of mine.

 

Thanks!

In general when talking about DUMB RGB, the worst that will happen is the colors could be slightly wrong.  For example:  you put 100' of undersized wire between the board and the flood, set it next to a flood with 10' or correctly sized wire, and set both to the same color.  When you look at them you'll find that the color on one is not the same as the other.  This is due to voltage drop.  You probably are not going to hurt anything running them that way, just be aware of it.

 

Smart devices on the other hand are much more sensitive to voltage drop.  If the voltage drops far enough, they simply won't work...

I also have about 50' on one of mine and it's fine. (Being that far from the other floods, a color variation will not be noticed)
