Home Theater Project
Posted: Tue May 02, 2017 1:52 am
I'm re-lighting my home theater taking out halogen cans and replacing them with LEDs. This is the first phase of a larger project.
The room has 7 4" cans that will be replaced with LEDs and one counter light that will be replaced with a two color light. There are four switches, two on one side of the room and two on the other. I may add one or two more LED cans. I have a conduit from the room into the garage where the equipment will be located.
I'm in the pre-wiring phase and I'm trying to determine where to run the cable. The wiring chart in the documentation describe various ways to daisy chain the lights and switches. The how it works page calls for one cable per fixture. Am I correct in thinking that running a separate cable to each fixture will provide some advantages either now or down the road? If so, what are the advantages? If not, other than voltage limits, what factors go into wiring decisions?
Can you point me to where I can learn more about how to design and build a system?
