LED WIRING GUIDELINES
This document is written to give some general guidelines for the wiring of our product. We realize that each and every installation will have its own idiosyncrasies that will require your creativity and adaptability to the guidelines listed below.
LED’s:
At DEKOR, we use a proprietary low voltage LED that is designed to run only with DEKOR transformers. The LED’s you receive have been fully tested and are rated for 100,000 hours.
We have installed a diode into the LED housing that will allow it to run on a 12vac circuit but with the following limitations and uncertainties.
Caution: You cannot inter-wire incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs. LED bulbs need to be on there own discreet circuit. There are two ways you can kill a DEKOR LED prematurely.
- Not using a DEKOR transformer.
- Installing the LED in an environment where the ambient temperature will exceed 120 degrees F.
WIRING:
LED’s can only be wired in parallel not in series. The colors on the LED wire lead are red and black. The red is the positive (+) circuit and the black wire is the neutral (-) circuit. Polarity must be maintained throughout your lighting system.
Very Important: When installing lighted basket balusters leave as much of the pigtail as possible in the baluster tube to allow for potential bulb replacement in the future.
MATERIALS:
- We recommend using DEKOR outdoor rated wire, as well as using DEKOR self sealing wire connectors on all connections.
