jonnyci Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 HiI 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve synek Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I double the length on one of mine with no problems. I used 18 awg wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan24438 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I extended mine 20 feet with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75redman Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 My farthest flood from the controller is 40ft. Also have a few that are 26-30ft with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcroc Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 They sell extension cables for them. I use two 20' on one of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOR Staff Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Czerwinski Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
