Wire for Power Supply Unit to Mean Well LDD Driver

[magical2506]

Which wire should I use to connect Mean Well LDD Driver to connect to Power supply Unit. The drivers are 5' far from power supply.
In Lowes/HD I am getting 18AWG/7 wire, i.e. seven 18AWG wires together. To run 3 drivers I will need 6 wires.

Can I use 18 AWG wires to connect power supply to LED Drivers? The wires that I am using to soldering LEDs are 22AWG solid copper wires.

At my Lowes you can get 8 conductor. If you are going to get "extra" might as well get a channel's worth..

Many will consider 18ga overkill for that short of run, but it is what I use.
A bit stiff as solid (wish they had bundled stranded easily available).

call Lowes see if they can get 6. It is readily available.
