    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!
