Laws of Low Voltage

Know the Numbers. Own the Job.

Tired of guessing how far your wire can run—or how many fixtures a transformer can actually handle? Here's a quick-hit guide built for the jobsite.

Alliance LEDs have a wide range:
8V – 24V

BT module components run best between 10–14 volts. Too little voltage reduces communication range; too much can cause permanent damage.

Using #12-2 wire, how many watts can be on a wire run?

Here's a rule of thumb:

• BT Fixtures: 5–20 ft
• BT App Control: 10–30 ft
• BT Range Extenders: 35–75 ft

• Start with 4: one in each corner of the job
• Make sure each BTRE sees 2 others (triangles of communication)
• Always keep a BTRE-5PK in the truck

150W Transformer → ~15 fixtures
300W Transformer → ~30 fixtures
600W Transformer → ~60 fixtures

Fixture count depends on wire length, lamp wattage, and overall load

When you know the rules, quoting is quicker, installs go smoother, and trust builds faster.

If you want fewer problems and faster installs—stick to the numbers. This is how you build trust, avoid callbacks, and keep moving.
