I have a lighting system where I need to connect 8 x 40-watt lights to a
single power outlet (10A rated). The lights will be running directly off a
power cord which will be plugged into a timer and the timer will turn the
lights off and on at the designated times.
I've done this easily with a single light, but I have no idea about multiple
lights. I was told that there is a "loop terminal" on the batten holder
(there are 4 terminals, one active one neutral one earth and one LOOP). I
have no idea what to do here. I am told to simply "loop" them.
But I don't know what they mean by "looping" them. I was told to wire them
in parallell, but how do I do that?
I know it's easy but I've forgotten since the last time I wired lights. I
cannot find my manuals, they had diagrams how to do it, it was simple but
alas I have no idea what to do.
The diagram of what I want is like this:
POWER SOURCE ==> Light 1 => L2 => L3 => L4 => L5 => L6 => L7 => L8
Just like that, in a row. I was told it can be done neatly and it can be
done messy. I prefer a neat approach ;-)
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thank you
