Default Re: wire size

What wire size are they prewired with? Use that or next bigger size.

Blindly answering, I'd probably go with something around 22g or 24gauge.
If you hate yourself enough, you could probably even get by with enamel coated magnet wire down to like 30g - 32g.

Bench check the wire length and load circuit, if wires get warm either go to bigger gauge wire or add more current limiter resistance. Wire loses heat dissapation ability vs free air if you're running in conduit, heatshrink, housings, glue...
