SAFETY 1ST... Please ensure the correct rating of cabling is used throughout when installing DC circuits. Long cable runs may require high grade, high amperage cables in order to prevent excessive voltage loss, especially when using multiple lamps on the same circuit.
All circuits should be fitted with a suitably rated safety fuse in order to prevent fire in the event of short circuit.
Use of proprietary lamp fittings is recommended wherever possible to protect and prevent the ingress of insects and damp where lamps may be exposed in external / exterior light fittings.
Note: 12v ‘AC’ transformers or any kind of transformer which does not produce pure DC power must not be used. If using a DC regulated transformer, please ensure that it has enough power reserve for your application.
For any remote application, we recommend the use of Lead Acid or other quality rechargeable batteries and / or using a solar ‘PV’ panel & regulator to replenish power as necessary.
