I ran into a problem with my barrir strip project, the strips I bought dont have jumpers. So basically I have to make my own. I assumed that 18 awg wire would be fine and connected all of them together.. Is this 18 awg going to be able to carry the current for 16 neons? I have two barriers that have 8 connects to them? (well 4, 2 power and 2 ground)
Basicallyl I made my own jumper from 18 awg? Will it over heat or not be able to power all my neons? Or do i need to start over and get some new wires or all new barrier strips? Thank you very much.... For 16, Neons, Cathodes, and Small Accents what size inline fuse should I use? |

18awg would probably work just fine. Just keep the run b/t jumps as small as possible. If you have any 16 or 14awg laying around might use that to be safe.
