Wiring

Series wiring

Series wiring is common for constant current Stoane lighting luminaires. Within the limits of the driver used constant current luminaires can be wired in series, or in a chain. In this way the current to each of the products is the same. (wiring constant current products to a constant current driver in parallel is incorrect and will result in the luminaires each getting a (roughly) equal share of the current and the lumen output being less than intended)

Parallel wiring

Parallel wiring is more common for constant voltage Stoane lighting luminaires. Constant voltage luminaires connected in parallel, or to a bus, from a constant voltage PSU means that each luminaire will get the same (correct) supply voltage. (wiring constant voltage products to a constant voltage PSU in a series format is incorrect and will result in faults due to incorrect voltage to the luminaires)

Series/parallel Hybrid wiring

Hybrid wiring is in effect a combination of both series and parallel wiring. It is very seldom used by Stoane lighting as a means to wire luminaires during installation and this should only be done when prescribed by Stoane lighting in any installation instructions. Some light source manufacturers use series/parallel wiring within their light sources.
