Mullan
Nursery Company offers professional landscape lighting with trouble-free
installation:
• We use only low voltage exterior lighting
which is not only safer and more efficient, but looks and works
better as well.
• The only way to verify that performance
will be as expected is to test for both voltage drop and current
draw at each fixture using both a voltmeter and amp probe. Surveys
have shown that only a small percentage of installers actually
bother to check the current after installation. Mullan Nursery
Company always checks each and every fixture.
• The Hub and Spoke method of installation
is best with no more than 5 lights per run. There are easier and
more common ways that installers use, but they will not provide
you with the best results. Ask what sort of wiring design the
installer uses and how many lights are installed in each run.
If he’s never heard of the hub and spoke method, politely
tell him to move on. The hub and spoke method is the only method
of installation Mullan Nursery Company has ever used.
• Most fixtures come with two very short
wire leads. Each of those leads need to be connected to another
wire that carries electrical current. The best installers will
make sure each connection is fully protected in a junction hub
box very much like those you find in an irrigation system. Not
only does that provide for better protection from the elements,
it is safer and system problems become easier to find an diagnose.
