Daisy Chain

Daisy Chaining

This method connects all fixtures like a string of daisies (hence “daisy chain”). The first fixture connects to the transformer. The challenge with this method is that the voltage on this low-voltage current decreases with distance. That means the first fixture may have 12 volts while the last fixture may have 9 volts. That’s OK for VOLT® LED lights because they have an acceptable voltage range of 8V to 15V. However, that would be a potential issue for halogen lights because they have a very narrow range (10V to 12V). Use the daisy chain method when fixtures are not grouped and can be easily connected in a chain. Note that you can consider a hub just like a single fixture; put it into your daisy chain.
