20'? Thanks.

Rick - I would first install a terminal block - run your red and black wires from your accessory transformer to the terminal block (I use 16 gauge wire). Then use 20 or 22 gauge wire and run one lead to the red side and one the other lead to the black side of the terminal block. Do this with all 4 towers. By using the terminal block you can wire other accessories to it with ease.

You would need a bus terminal block for each feed wire to do it that way.
Are the towers LED or incandescent? If LED you are ok with what he said. if incandescent then you need 18 gauge wire . I would use 18 even if they are LED
