It’s obvious that every low-voltage landscape light we install needs to be connected to a power source. But not so obvious, is the fact that there are several ways to make that connection. How do we bring power to an outdoor lighting fixture? We could run a separate wire for each li...
Dimming Low Voltage Lighting fixtures Consult the instruction sheet that accompanies the low voltage lighting fixture for the correct dimmer to use. Some fixtures allow you to use regular dimmers, however some do not. Wiring a Standard 3-Way Dimmer Switch 3-Way Dimmer Switches typically come with...
Here's a summary of best practices we recommend for how to wire DMX lighting systems: Use twisted pair cables with an impedance of 120Ω and a low capacitance. UTP Cat5 or Cat6 network cable is another option but it has a slightly lower impedance of 100Ω. ...
For beginners in stage lighting, one of the ideas that can be baffling is how to wire up all of your fixtures. Back in the “old days” you simply ran control cable to your dimmers, and power out to your conventional fixtures. It was pretty simple overall, with no “settings” or co...
Inside the switch box, you'll find a cable that comes in from power, one that goes out to the fixture controlled by the switch and the new cable for the outlet you're adding. Use a voltage tester to distinguish the live circuit hot wire from the other hot wire connected to the switch...
How to Wire a Dimmer to your LED LightsIn this tutorial learn how to hook up a PWM Dimmer to your single channel LED Strip Lights and Modules. If you want to have a way to dim your LED lights we have many different types of low voltage PWM dimmers to choose from....
When the hot wire is connected directly to the ground, there is minimal resistance in the circuit, so the voltage pushes a huge amount of charge through the wire. If this continues, the wires can overheat and start a fire. The circuit breaker's job is to cut off the circuit whenever ...
Attach the two wires coming from the motor to a voltmeter that measures up to 5 volts. Between the motor and the voltmeter, connect these two wires using a 100-ohm resistor. You'll need to remove an inch of insulation from each wire and solder the resistor leads (the wires coming from...
HOW TO WIRE AN NVC FITTING EQUIPPED WITH A DIMMING DRIVER This article is intended to give guidance to someone who has received an NVC light fitting, who thinks it might be equipped with a dimming driver and wants to know how to wire it correctly. ...
