Question

Adjustable LED dimmer/timer control?

Need to wire 4 independent adjustable LED Christmas light dimmers to adjustable 24 hour timer so that Christmas light strings come on/off at different time sequences thoughtout early evening hours. In other words, each string of lights would dim on and off automatically (10-15 sec) for about ten minutes at least a dozen times.

Hi and welcome to the forums Bob.

Are these four light dimmers something you already have ?

What I'm asking is if you have the parts and need help wiring it together or if this is an idea you have and you need it all.

Maximum length 14/2 lighting circuit run

J

jerinhamilton on Mar 31, 2013

I am rewiring my 1906 home. For the second floor lighting circuit, I brought power to the closest 4" square switch box for the second floor foyer light. From there, I branched one way to the bedrooms and the other to the first 3-way for the stair lighting. The only way to run this involves a total of 4 runs up and down to the basement. So by the time the 3-way system is wired plus the foyer and the first bedroom light, the run is about 120 feet not including the neutral back to the panel. I am guessing that I have to stop the run there. Can anyone tell me if this is too long? Will the inspector have a problem with me using a breaker for only 3 lights even though a have a 40/80 panel. In Canada, code dictates use of only 14/2 for lighting circuits; maybe it has something to do with the ease of a changing light fixtures.Read More

Question regarding wiring

J

jkaese on Apr 02, 2013

Ok so I am trying to install a new ceiling fan/ light fixture, I took the old one out because you could not turn it off and it was very old and falling apart. My wiring is confusing me- this is how it looks- A on/off switch is at the top of the stair way which when turned on turned the fan on/off as well as the garage lights- the wiring coming in on one side meaning from the on/off switch is- white/black/copper/ and red ( red is confusing me, I know it's a hot wire assumed) so this wiring stops at the ceiling box, the other side coming in has 2 lines my guess is one that controls the garage lights - white/black,copper,red- second line white/black/copper. So how the heck do I wire this and is this ok to do?? What is the red wire controlling?? The box is another question in itself, I put in a new one, I will have to take pics for you to understand what I am talking about. The box is placed in a hallowed out log- it's part of my cabin/man cave.Read More
