Step 3: Select Your Power Pack

Determine the Power Pack You Require

  • Choose your fixtures, in any combination, according to your plan.
  • Add up the individual bulb wattages of all the fixtures in your system.
  • Choose a Power Pack that is large enough for your system. 45, 120, 200, 100, 200, 300, 600 and 900 watt Power Packs are available.

Example

NOTE: When necessary, divide large systems into 2 or more smaller systems using additional Power Packs. In which case, total only the bulb wattages for each fixture within each smaller system to determine the correct size Power Pack needed for each smaller system.

 

Determine Your Cable Size

Use the planning grid on pages 10 and 11 to complete your cable layout plan. Count or measure the 1/8" scaled blocks to determine the total feet of cable needed for your lighting systems. Also measure your longest runs. The chart below will tell you the correct size cable to use, depending on the length of your runs.
