The load-wiring-calculator will give you a very simple and quick solution to the problem of calculating the size of wires and DC maximum load for LED power transmission.
Calculate how much wire you can use before your maximum voltage drop is reached.

Invalid InputThis is a calculator for the estimation of the voltage drop of an electrical circuit based on the wire size, distance, and anticipated load current.
Voltage Drop = (WL x 2) x R x LC / 1000
Voltage Drop % = (Voltage Drop / SV) x 100
Where:
WL = Wire Length
R = Resistance
LC = Load Current
SV = Source Voltage
Calculates the maximum wire length of a single round wire of common conducting materials using the formula below.
Wire Length = ( VD x 1000) / (LC x 2 x R)
Where:
VD = Voltage Drop
LC = Load Current
R = Resistance
The resistance is then matched to the corresponding wire gauge value as per the American Wire Gauge standard (AWG).
