Circuiting Guidelines

Guidelines for wiring landscape lighting circuits.

Transformer Guidelines

Single Transformer

When using one transformer, center the transformer on the wattage load. Minimize all cable runs to reduce voltage drop.

Multiple Transformers

When using multiple transformers, spread the load evenly across all transformers. Avoid voltage drop by installing the transformers as close to the fixtures as possible.

Low Voltage Cable Capacity

Distance (ft/m)	Wire Gauge (AWG / mm²)	Max Wattage (W)
0-40' (0-13 m)	12 AWG (4.0 mm²)	160 W
0-40' (0-13 m)	10 AWG (6.0 mm²)	180 W
40-80' (13-25 m)	12 AWG (4.0 mm²)	120 W
40-80' (13-25 m)	10 AWG (6.0 mm²)	140 W
80-120' (25-40 m)	12 AWG (4.0 mm²)	100 W
80-120' (25-40 m)	10 AWG (6.0 mm²)	120 W
120-160' (37-50 m)	12 AWG (4.0 mm²)	60 W
120-160' (37-50 m)	10 AWG (6.0 mm²)	100 W

A luminaire shall not use tungsten halogen lamps unless the luminaire is marked for such lamps.
Supply connection and electrical components are located above ground level, except for secondary cord that is suitable for wet locations.

Low Voltage Cable Requirements

Be protected by routing in close proximity to the luminaire or fitting, or next to a building structure such as a house or deck.
Not be buried except for a maximum 6" (152 mm) in order to connect to the main low voltage cable.
Have the length cut off so that it is connected to a connector within 6" (152 mm) from a building structure, a luminaire, or fitting.
