Depending on the controller, try using CAT5 wire to carry the signal. Odds are good that it will work at 25 feet.

From a Falcon F16v2 (which, admittedly already is pretty good at distance) I controlled a string at the end of a 110ft CAT5.  (power was way down, but the data got there perfectly)

Hi , yes u can  use  the nodes as long as the protocol is the same  (the nodes and the ones for the arches) e.g. are both WS2811 .
