Do you recommend 18 AWG for strip-to-strip connections?

I am planning to build an undercabinet lighting system using: CENTRIC HOME™ LED Strip Lights for Home & Residential - 3000K Aluminum Channel for LED Flex Strip - 5 PACK CENTRIC SERIES™ Flicker-Free Dimmable Power Supply for LED Strip - 24V. I see that you sell various connectors for connecting one LED to another in series but to use these tracks, I have to solder them myself. Do you recommend 18 AWG for strip-to-strip connections? Do you sell 18 AWG? All I see is 16. 

While we can confirm that we do not sell 18 AWG wiring, I have attached a link to our LED Strip Light Wire Gauge & Voltage Drop Calculator, which we do hope proves to be helpful for your installation planning. 

Based on my use of the aforementioned tool, we believe that 16 AWG wiring would be sufficient for your installation, so long as the length of connecting wire between the power supply and product is not excessively long. 

Anecdotally, we can also confirm that 16 AWG is most often recommended for the connection of LED Strip Light segments.
