Wiring Diagram For Low Voltage Outdoor Lighting

Wire the lighting system.

Wiring diagram for low voltage outdoor lighting.

The purpose of this manual is to provide you with a precise step by step method of designing and installing low voltage landscape lighting this manual will take you through fixture choice bulb selection wire sizing fixture installation using the hub method transformer selection and a reference section. Voltage drop is one of the biggest concerns when it comes to wiring low voltage systems. Before plugging the transformer in dig a 3 inch 7 5 cm deep trench along the wire s length and bury it in the ground. It reveals the components of the circuit as streamlined forms as well as the power and signal connections in between the devices.

A wiring diagram is a simplified standard pictorial depiction of an electric circuit. We will compare the most common wiring methods below but before we do that let s consider the nemesis of wiring any landscape lighting system. To control voltage drop in low voltage landscape lighting systems there are two things to consider. The first is having a multi tap transformer to compensate for voltage.

Before beginning any lighting project you should predetermine which cable runs will feed which areas the overall distance of these runs total wattage on these runs and the gauge of the wire selected. Attach the wire to each light fixture.
