Hi, I installed 9 Volt RGB G4 infiniti lights on a 200 foot run with a 300 Watt transformer. Several weeks later the last few lights on the run began to blink. I removed the last light in the run and the other lights stopped blinking. I assumed it was because of a voltage drop so I purchased a 600 watt Volt transformer and added the light back to the end of the run but this did not fix the problem. What am I missing here? What can I do to stop the lights from blinking?
Hi Kelvin, Based upon the info you've provided, it sounds like the wire run is overloaded. With (9) RGBW Infinitis at 12W a piece, you have approx. 108W on that run - we typically recommended no more than 80W, or 8-10 fixtures per wire run from a transformer; whichever threshold you hit first. Splitting up that wire run should solve the issue!
Similar situation -- one blinking light at the end of a run. Just started after 3 years of flawless performance. Where should I start looking in terms of what could have changed? Thanks for any help.
Are there only 9 fixtures total connected to your transformer? If not, I suspect that your 9th fixture puts you over the 100W maximum recommended for a wire run of that length. Have you tried connecting to your 15V tap? What gauge wiring are you using, btw? If 14 or 12, you might need to step up to 10 gauge. HTH
