And if any light went out, it would be like Christmas lights - they'd all go out. New drawing looks good! | |

| Sep 19, 2018 at 2:39 | comment | added | TonyG | Ahh, I understand what you were saying about making each run parallel vs serial. Yes, and rather than capping the end (where path of least resistance would lead to a short) the last load would be the terminator. Is that correct? Thanks! | |
| Sep 19, 2018 at 2:37 | comment | added | TonyG | I knew someone would ask about making use of those 3 taps. :D I intend to have one tap for the back yard, another for the front, and another for "whatevah". Each of those will have a similar circuit (zone) setup with switches. I got this transformer for $50 rather than the retail $200 so it's a little overkill. | |
