Hi Brian

Some of my 4 core security cables to my rgbled garden lights are around 7m
...and work ok....
As i mentioned over in the rgbled forum  i used 4core security cable for
comms and power.....

I'll give gerry an email and see what the craic is.

I dont think Gerry will undersatnd when you say "Hi Gerry whats the
craic "
;-))
