Longer Picos?
I'm sure I blew over the "standard" length of the pico lights (12-inch i think? Didnt see it in the bulk light description unless I blew by it)... but, is there any appetite for longer wires, say, 18-inch, in picos?
Or are we getting into power loss given the length of the run and gauge of the wire?
Mostly trying to solve against my own laziness of not wanting to drop a micro 1:2 adapter every 10-12 inches (yeah, up to 24" in theory, but in practice, 12"). Which isn't the end of the world, but man oh man, what a 2:4 regular-to-pico adapter can do in the center of a hub versus inline 1:2s all day...

The long ones worked fine. I used them in the Christchurch brick show with great results

Tony Nixon One question eliminated, thanks Tony!
Two follow-up questions - were those a custom order for your project, and what sort of length(s) did you end up using?

Paul George we can do custom Pico cables up to 24". Beyond that, there be dragons. 😆

Rob Klingberg I'm in! Visualizing a one-and-done one-off sort of order of a two 10-pack bulk or so? (My emergency planner mode kicks in: with five as current need, another five for growth, and double that for hot swap/spares)... 😉

Paul George Happy to help out. Because we have to hand-make the longer lengths (splicing two normal Pico cables together), the cost is $6/ea for cable lengths between 13" and 23". I can send a PayPal invoice if you'd like. Warm white, cool white, or a specific color/mix?

Rob Klingberg Y'all are good like that! 🙂
I'll drop you an email, but the PP invoice is fine, and a bargain at most any price. Thank you!
