SYSTEM & INSTALLATION

A dependable result includes power, controls, cables, connections, mounting, environmental
protection and service access.
Power and control
Calculate load by circuit, keep power supplies within their rated capacity, and plan power injection for long runs. Confirm controller protocol, channel or pixel count, signal distance and enclosure rating before production.
Outdoor connections
Use compatible sealed connectors or approved field-sealing methods. Position connections away from standing water and provide drip loops and drainage where appropriate.
Mounting and maintenance
Do not staple or tightly bind lighting to bark. Allow movement and future growth, protect cables from abrasion, and design accessible connection points so damaged sections can be serviced without removing the complete installation.
Site validation
Approve a sample on the actual tree or a representative mock-up. Check daytime appearance, night-time brightness, programmed effects, glare, heat, cable visibility and maintenance access.
