I have a ranch style house that is @65' long and @30' wide. I want to install LED recessed lighting in the soffit - front and back of house. Most of the ones I'm interested in are rated in Ma. I want to do 6 in the front / 6 in the back off of a single 110v switch.

My question is: What gauge / type wire to run in series for each group? Some of the ones I've looked at are 110 direct in with a driver hard wired / short lead to the light assy. Others have the option of a longer driver cable that is detachable from the light fixture to the driver - allowing you to mount a series of drivers remotely. Problem is the pre-made low voltage cables come in at a max length of 25' which will too short for the longest runs.

I really like the idea of having the low voltage cables run to all the light fixtures from a central box location in the attic where the drivers would reside. But I am unsure if this will pass code.

The other idea is running 2 /14-2 lines to each group, series between those lights and then join them at box to then be controlled by wall switch. problem is I see that as overkill for the amp draw and difficult to work with on each fixture install.

What say y'all? Anyone been through this?
