I use the blue water proof connectors with the tape lol works for me. I do use the yellow wire king connectors for when I do my sprinkler system wiring connections. Love the videos man. Learned some great tips and tricks from you!! Keep it going!

Krimps and shrink tubes is the best and fun way when you get very good it doesn’t take long long !

Thank you for sharing your professional expertise in Lightscape Lighting. You're the true light! I finished watching the 6 parts of 7 after which I was able to install my first six fixtures of 6watts Doreio lights on a daisy chain connected to a 60watts transformer. The connection was a success! But the lights did not have the much brightness I was looking for. Because the bulbs were integrated with the fixture, I couldn't change to bulbs with higher wattage. I am thinking of getting the Volts Lights and would appreciate it if you can recommend one that would give me brightness and a higher-foot candle even if I have to upgrade my transformer.

Most important thing! About half the failures I see are from bad connectors. I use two different connectors on jobs. 1) king Innovations Dryconn - a combination crimp and heat shrink. Takes a bit of time, and requires multiple tools (crimper, heat gun or blowtorch), but it gives a really strong mechanical connection so you won't lose it if something yanks on the wire, it's just about the best insulation + waterproofing you can get, it adds very little bulk (important for above-ground applications; I'm currently running surface mounts along some roof eaves and it's very important to maintain a low profile), and you can easily use the larger sizes to splice together multiple lines. 2) 3M scotchlocks. A little pricy (~.90 per unit), but solid mechanical connection, grease waterproofing, fast and easy to install (just takes channel lock pliers). Perfect for connecting a single light to a main run. My go to, as long as they can be buried.

Can you explain about 600w vista professional transformer attachments?

Exactly what I was looking for. I suppose I'll use the water proof nut for now since that's what lowes has =). I'm surprised my kichler lights come with the non water proof connectors and don't warn you about that

@aklighting8292 2 жыл бұрын

Make sure you use electrical tape on the water proof nuts. Yeah, not sure why the kichler lights doesn't come with water proof covers.

The worst thing about wire nuts is they can come off and cause shorts/failure

I bought some intertek landscape lights But they didn't come with instructions. Can I use 12dcv 1 Amp? Do landscape lightbulb fixture have polarity. I see a blue and black 24awg. I have for safety used blue for positive.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with DC lights. I would stick with a normal landscape lighting system.
