Re: Garden led lighting

["Brian Milton" <bmilton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess I can use cat5e for this.  Looks like a good idea.  Do you
know what sort of lenghts of cable you could run from the board to the
leds?  I'd say the furthest distace i'd want is 7 meters.  Maybe a bit
of testing is needed.  I'll give gerry an email and see what the craic is.

Cheers
B
