This also means that you don’t need all those taps in a transformer, which normally means the transformer costs less. Less draw = less resistance on a wire run. Quick example: Depending on the manufacturer, a standard JC20 LED lamp running between 2-3 watts has an output between 200 and 250 lumens - equal to or better than a 20 watt halogen that will likely max out at 200. DID YOU KNOW that an LED’s “sweet spot” isn’t between 10.8 and 12 volts? Instead, it’s between 8 and 24 volts per fixture, which means there’s a LOT of wiggle room! LED lamps have a far less draw on wattage as compared to their halogen & incandescent cousins, and will have equivalent or superior lumen output. Now that we got through “Old Math”, here’s “New Math” when using LEDs. Most contractors would have cheater formulas in their heads, such as if a run was 100’ or less, then you would use 12-2 wire, or if it was longer, use 10-2 wire. 10 gauge wasn’t too bad to work with, but 8 gauge was a nightmare. So the transformer needed for halogen or incandescent lighting, you would either have to use the 15 Volt tap, or remove 1 fixture from wire.

So, if you have five 20 watt halogen fixtures going 100 feet and using 12 gauge wire: Oh, wait, you'll need this in order to get that last variable (Resistance per Foot): Then: Amps x Distance x (2 x Resistance per Foot) = Voltage Drop You do this in order to figure out EXACTLY what voltage tap to use on a transformer to reach that sweet spot between 10.8 and 12 Volts per fixture, using the HUB connection method: To get optimal performance from halogen and incandescent systems, here’s some “Old Math” formulas you either have to have memorized, have a cheat sheet, or use a manufacturer's system calculator. Now let’s talk some “New Math” with lighting. For more information, please contact us or stop by and we will be happy to show you how these products operate and how they will benefit your customer.

The BL200-BT fixtures operate through a free iPhone or Android app. I have personally installed 7 at 50 feet away from 2 groupings and it worked flawlesslyīecause the technology is built directly into the fixture itself, there is no need for additional equipment to install, and it will operate with any low voltage transformer from any manufacturer. The more fixtures that you have installed, the stronger the Bluetooth signal will be. These fixtures have antennas that operate through a mesh Bluetooth technology, meaning that each fixture networks with each other.

What else can these little miracles do? They can be zoned, grouped, operated individually, or together. The fixture also has three preset white settings, and can be dimmed. Pick the preset colors of your choice or use the color prism on the phone app to get the exact color that you want! Every holiday color scheme has just become easy. The Alliance Bluetooth Bullet fixture has a 4 watt integrated color changing lamp that you completely control from your smart phone.
