I want to put some LED lights on my sliding gate. I wondered if I could

the lights is 24W at 12VDC. The positional accuracy of the gate is good.

Have you considered whether or not ultraflexible wire might be suitable?
Such as:

Just out of interest, why do you need the leds to be so bright? Leds
using 24W would produce give thousand lumens. If you need that light
level, why not have them fixed on posts?

It's a string of 500 LEDS that together pull 24W.
