Consider the location of your power supply when planning the wire routing:

• If the power supply is on the left side of the first light, the wire spacing between lights will be 6.56ft (2m).
• If the power supply is on the right side of the last light, you may need to wrap excess wires to reduce the effective spacing between lights to 5.9ft (1.8m) for a cleaner look.
