Wiring Diagram Spotlights. The cable from the 2 daisy chained lights on the right has to pass straight through 2 floor joists to feed the other 3. Once you have read the safety tips a good place to start is by getting up to speed on the basic radial lighting circuit.
Its likely though youve already read the wikipedia page about series and parallel circuits here maybe a few other google search results on the subject and are still unclear or wanting more specific information as it pertains to leds. The hot and neutral terminals on each fixture are spliced with a pigtail to the circuit. The first thing we need to understand is how to wire a light pendant.
The diagram below shows a simple wiring diagram for connecting spotlights to work together with your high beams.
If this is the case then it is either the last light on a loop in circuit or the connections could of been made in a junction box and then a single cable has been run to the ceiling rose or the lights could of been wired with the neutral wire in the switch instead of being in the ceiling rose. Downlights are wired in a radial circuit and so the feed wire goes to the first light in the circuit and then from the first to the second and then from the second to the third etc. Wiring of spotlights. Calculate the room area length x width in feet eg 8ft x 15ft 120 ft2 multiply by a lighting factor 15 for a living room or 25 for an area which needs more light like a kitchen for example eg 120 ft2 x 15 180 watts.
