I am looking at 20 high bay led's that need to be hooked to dimmers. Need to know what size wire do I need to use for this. There are three dimmers for these lights, they are the dimmers that are matched to the lights.

Purple and pink are the same 👍

If you're asking about the 0-10 volt wire size? Typically, 18 gauge will work.

Do you know how to wire it?

I think so I was going to use 18-2 to the lights and use 18-6 to the switches. By using 18-6 to the switches each pair could go to each switch.

You could run 18/6 from the 3 switches, up to a splice point to change to the three 18/2 and it'll work.

Might be a code issue with the color combinations (not being purple/gray or purple/pink), but the lights don't care what color the insulation is
