This example order is for illustration purposes only and DOES NOT necessarily represent what would be the model choices and quantities for your home. This example represents a 14 light design for 4 sides of a small-medium sized home. Note: Most people prefer to purchase their 18/2 stranded security wire locally to save shipping weight or to get a different length spool or pull box. Also, people that can easily run the wire above the soffit and are using our recessed lights typically just purchase the lights and a power supply from us and need nothing else in their order.
Prices in Canadian dollars. We sell to USA and Canada.
Installation Technique - For this example, soffit colour was light and installation technique was to tuck the wire into the J-trim of the facia for rapid but professional attic-less installation. Therefore white hole plugs will be used.
Power Supply - We recommend the 5 amp supply for all exterior light systems due to future add-on possibilities. Each 5amp supply can operate up to 20 of our fixtures.
Wire - The design determined the whole house could be wired on 2 runs from the power supply in the basement. The 250 foot spool of wire had more than enough wire to accomplish these 2 runs.
Fixture Mechanical Choices and Lenses - Design session resulted in 7 locations using recessed wide lens fixtures (front door, front step, 2 down walkway, 3 on garage), 7 locations using recessed medium lens fixtures (2 down each side and 3 across the back).
Color of White Light - Color of white light selected was 3500K WARM white.
Hole Plugs - Since 1 hole plug is needed per recessed fixture, a total of 14 hole plugs are needed (4 bags).
Spare Connectors - We always recommend having at least 1 bag of spare IDCs.
Timer - Call us to discuss control automation. For low cost solutions, we typically recommend example smart timers such as Intermatic 620 or the GE Sunsmart Plug-In timers which automate sunset and sunrise with other control options. These can be picked up at electrical supply stores for under $25. No matter if you use one or more of our power supplies, these can be controlled by one timer.
