How Do You Connect 3 Low Voltage Landscape Lights?
The popularity of landscaping lights has increased dramatically over the past decade. Unfortunately, so has the incidence of blown circuit breakers, damaged lighting fixtures and electrical fires due to improper connection of the lighting devices. Everyone knows that just one light simply will not do, and multiple lights may be used to produce stunning lighting patterns on the selected property. It is important to understand the basic electric fundamentals to ensure the lighting functions properly and, most importantly, safely. Calculate the number amps which will be used for your circuit. In our example we are using three twelve-volt landscaping lights and each lamp has a 7-watt bulb. In order to calculate the total number of amps which will be used by our circuit, we must add together the wattage of all three bulbs. The total wattage is needed in the electronic formula for determining circuit amperage. 3 bulbs at 7 watts each = 3×7 = 21 watts total Once the total number of watts is c
