I have 12 V LED strip tape, actually running with a 9 volt source. I need to use a short amount of wire to connect two strips. I've seen some people use 22 AWG stranded, but I would prefer to use 24 AWG if possible. We're talking about 6 inches or so. Would it work okay?

\$\begingroup\$ I would recommend to use AWG26, my general purpose wiring standard for "light duty" applications. If you are serious or slightly worrying, you can check out the AWG spec and the 12V LED strip spec. \$\endgroup\$– tlfong01Aug 8, 2022 at 5:30
