Hi all!

5 meters RGB-WW LED strip.
33W per meter, so 33x5= 165W of total.
165W / 24V = ~6.7A of total.

Connections are: 5 wires for the colours, and +V wire.
5 wires carries 1,34A each. So 0,75mm2 should be enough for those (2m long).

As I understand +V wire carries all of the load (Or not...??) So this one should be 1.5mm2 ..

Am I right?

Cheers!
