Hello,
Just to keep everyone on track...
Doubling the voltage makes 4 times the power.
and increase from 10.5 volts to 13.5 volts is more like a 60%
power gain. .. its a square law thing..
So if you loose half your voltage to voltage drop, you only get
25% of the rated power output at the load..
just for reference, 14 gauge wire has about 1 ohm of resistance
for every 1000 feet. Of course voltage drop is more dependent on
current flow since there's a square law thing in effect for that
as well.
again, roughly, every time you go up three wire sizes, you half
the resistance of your feeders.
Going from #14 to #10 isn't quite that half, but running #8 in
Sprite would be REAL overkill,....... not that we don't have some
fanatics here...and it seems to me that the lights are on #12
from the factory anyway....
