Voltage drop and derating

We are installing #10 THHN for 20amp/277V lighting circuits because of the distance - (voltage drop)
We have 10 current caring conductors that we want to put in a single conduit, the derating of a #10 THHN is 20amps at 50% per table 310.15(B)(2)(a).
Is ther any other issues I'm missing because of the voltage drop and derating of the same condutors?
Thanks, Mark
 
Since voltage drop is only found in FINE PRINT NOTES and only a recommendation (unless you have local rules), the 10 #10 CCC should be protected at 20 amp max. I don't think you are missing anything else.
