I read up about it but i forget why now though, it had to do with the change in resistance or something like that. Ebumdude also has this same problem
So probably you could use the individual wires in stranded Cat5 or Cat3 which is twisted pair 24 AWG.

Hence, the longer the wire, the more resistance there is in the wire.
As per Ohm's law, Resistance= Voltage/Current (R=V/I). As a result of greater resistance, we have less current, which causes the light to dim.
Couldn't you just use larger wire then? Resistance is inversely proportional to the cross section.
