Katrina Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Help! Show begins tomorrow (Sunday) night and management moved the location of the controller. I need to wire my 4 sets of 8 mini trees (8 channels) with a common neutral to save wire.Does anyone have a diagram? I can't grasp the concept, especially where you break the set of 8 out into 4 channel ones, 4 channel twos, etc. -- without a drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this with a wiring harness that powers 12 wireframe C9 bulbs that hang between two trees. Works great, and saves a lot of wire (I actually use 20 gauge wire for the hots and 18 for the shared neutral, since each of the "bulbs" has only 35 lights on it - makes the whole thing only slightly larger than a pair of SPT-2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
