Power Injection
Understanding Power Injection for Permanent Christmas Lights
Professional permanent lighting installations require precise power management to maintain consistent performance. As lighting runs extend across your property, voltage naturally decreases over distance, potentially affecting brightness and color accuracy. This voltage drop phenomenon is similar to water pressure decreasing in a long hose - the further electricity travels through your lighting wire, the more voltage drops, resulting in decreasing brightness.
Power injection solves this challenge by introducing additional power sources at strategic points along your lighting run. This sophisticated electrical solution creates junction points that maintain both power and data signals throughout the system, ensuring consistent brightness and perfect color accuracy across long runs. For 24V systems, power injection is needed every 100 feet, while 36V systems require injection points every 200 feet.
Power Injection Installation Guide
Planning and Assessment
- Map out your entire lighting installation before beginning
- Measure total run lengths for each section
- Calculate the number of LEDs and their voltage and current requirements.
- Calculate voltage drop points:
24V Systems: Mark every 100 feet
36V Systems: Mark every 200 feet
- Identify strategic locations for power injections based on the calculated data
Key Technical Components:
- Power injection extensions
- T Power Cable
- Wire Connectors
Tools & Tips
Important Installation Tips 📝
- All 3 negative wires MUST connect at injection point ⚡
- Only connect positive wire going downstream 🔌
- Use voltage meter to check for drops
- Always follow 10% rule for voltage drop
- Maximum drop: 2.4V for 24V system, 3.6 for 36V
Common Mistakes ⚠️
- Skipping power injection on long runs
- Wrong wire gauge for distance
- Incorrect wire connections

How do I know when I need power injection for my Invisilights permanent Christmas lights installation?
Power injection is required when your runs exceed 100 feet on 24V systems or 200 feet on 36V systems to maintain consistent brightness.
Voltage drop occurs naturally as power travels through wire over distance. This drop in voltage can affect light performance, requiring additional power to maintain brightness.
After power injection, you can extend an additional 100 feet with 24V systems or 200 feet with 36V systems.
Power injection should be installed at or before the point where voltage drop occurs - typically at 100 feet (24V) or 200 feet (36V) from the power source.
No, power injection maintains both power and data signals, ensuring all lighting controls continue to function properly.
Yes, all power injection components are designed for permanent outdoor installation with appropriate weather protection.
