Hello all, I have what I believe should be a simple question. Unfortunately
it's been about ten years since my one DC circuits class and I can't seem to
find the chart I vaguely remember needing. Basically I would like to take a
single string of Xmas mini-lights and extend them to about twelve hundred
feet or one light every eight feet along a fence line. The questing is can I
do this and if so what gauge wire would I need to stretch one string to a
twelve hundred feet? If I have the current flowing through two thousand plus
feet of wire will it fry the bulbs in series or make the bulbs on the end
too dim? I think the bulbs are about .5 watts each and I'm hoping for a
hundred fifty or so in line.
Thanks for any help
