Want to make your home standout from the rest of the neighborhood? Nothing can improve the look of your home such as lighting landscape more. She has the look and layout you want, you have the fittings, transformers and cabling purchased. Chances are, there is a small object that you did your shopping list on the left: stroke.
For most novice do-it-yourself, when you install a lighting system is the preferred method chaining. Chaining is when you accept his leadershipWires from the transformer and connect it with the first unit. And then with the wire holder and the second after the first light, and so on and so forth. The most common problem with this method, voltage drop, as you head down the chain. Each device should receive 11.5 to 12 volts to the device. But when the devices 6, 7 or more are linked together, the further down the line you go, get less power. So the light from more distantTransformer weakens. And for the weekend warrior who has just buried an entire Saturday for cable, this is a nightmare. Now you must keep the cable and disconnect all lines to create a different cable. But there is a way to avoid this.
A hub is a small, central one for your cabling. Take your plant and put them in the design you have created. Exactly in the middle or somewhere in the vicinity of all plants, installation of the hub. The way in which systemsOperation is simple. The power from the transformer is connected to the hub for the devices. Then, the wiring of each unit is connected to the hub. All hubs are connected devices 5-10, depending on the manufacturer. This voltage drop, because the wiring is run from the transformer distributed individually to each device without stress along the line. This system is a must for larger and more complex projects. There are many reasons to implement the system of hubs:
1 Hubsreduce the need for many long runs back to the transformer
2 Reduce the assignment of the cable
3 Give you more efficient, flexible layouts
4 Hubs provide a central location for all your cable splicing, corrections and troubleshooting much easier
5 The connectors are all protected in the hub
6 are small and discreet
7 Very convenient. 10-25 dollars depending on where you buy
8 And above all, reduce the voltage drop
Save yourself theIrritation and headaches, to design a lighting layout with the hub system. You will not regret it.
