🌙 Troubleshooting Dimming Garden Lights
1. Overloading the Controller
- Limit: Max 60W per controller.
- Action: Add up the wattage of all connected lights.
- Solution: If over 60W, install an additional controller or transformer.
2. Overextending Daisy Chains
- Spotlights: Avoid extending chains beyond the included cable.
- Deck Lights: Max 12 lights per chain.
- Issue: Voltage drop and sync loss in long chains.
3. Excessive Cabling
- Limit: Max 75 metres of cable for systems up to 60W.
- Issue: Longer cables = voltage drop = dim lights.
4. Too Many Mini Spacer Cables
- Limit: No more than 5 per deck light chain.
- Purpose: For spacing only, not for long-distance extension.
5. Squashed or Kinked Cables
- Effect: Like a kinked hose—electricity flow is restricted.
- Symptoms: Low-wattage lights may work, higher-wattage ones may not.
- Solution: Gently straighten cables and test before reuse.
- Tip: Bundle excess cable in loose loops, not tight bends or under heavy objects.
