24v lights with smart receivers

Is it ok to power a v4 smart receiver with 24v?
I usually add a heatsink to the old 'dumb' receivers and it looks like I could do the same on the 8/16 port v4 smart receivers but not sure if anything has changed that would cause issues.
The 4 port v5 ones don't have the triac that I add it to, so I wonder on that as well.

I have a bit of lights from American Lighting that work with the Falcon F16, but run on 24v.

I believe it operates at 5-13v. I've just built a box for a couple of 24v devices and included a separate 5v PSU for the receiver.

Specifications can be found here:

Hope that helps!

I'm guessing I can still throw the heatsink on and go for it. That comes from David's response back in the day when I first did it with the dumb receivers:  Differential receiver on 24v?
