"What do I need to consider before installing LIFX Outdoor Lights?"
Quick link: Distance Calculator
LIFX Outdoor Lights are not your ordinary low voltage lights. The LIFX Spot, Path and Neon Flex are SuperBright, Polychrome color morphing, lighting installations that will transform your garden.
In order to support such state-of-the-art technology, you're going to need a few things to setup:
- Wi-Fi coverage that can reach where you want to place your furthest light. You can test your router's Wi-Fi range with your mobile phone as a guide.
- A 300W transformer or better, with a 15V output terminal. These lights are SuperBright, so check your transformer can support the number of lights. Review the calculations below under Transformer Requirements.
- 12 gauge outdoor wiring. The better quality your wiring is, the longer distance you can run your lights. 14 and 16-gauge wiring can be used but will limit the distance you can place your lights.
