Landscape Lighting Calculator 2.2.0

Earth Conscious Apps presents the Landscape Lighting Calculator, a set of electrical calculators and tutorials tailored for architectural and landscape lighting professionals. This tool aims to streamline the process of creating efficient lighting systems at reduced installation costs while enhancing long-term safety. The calculators are specifically designed for 12V – 24V low voltage electrical systems commonly used in LED and halogen outdoor lighting, with a particular focus on 15V for LED setups. They have proven to be highly effective in troubleshooting installation issues over more than eight years of field testing within the landscape lighting industry.

• Calculator: Minimum Wire Gauge - Determine the Minimum Wire Gauge required for a run based on Wattage, Length of Run, and Voltage.
• Calculator: Minimum Transformer Size - Calculate the Minimum Size of Transformer needed for your landscape lighting system, considering the total installation watts. This calculator also confirms wire gauge and run length for each segment.
• Calculator: Maximum Available Wattage - Find out the Maximum Wattage permissible on a given Gauge Wire, Voltage Tap, and Length of Run. Useful when working with specific wire gauges and wanting to ascertain the number and wattage of lights that can be used.
• Calculator: Maximum Distance - Determine the maximum distance achievable with a given Wire Gauge, Voltage Tap, and Wattage. Beneficial when working with particular wire gauges and wanting to establish distance limitations based on wattage and voltage.

The Landscape Lighting Calculator package includes tutorials:

• Tutorial: How to Use - Detailed instructions on how to utilize each calculator effectively.
• Tutorial: Getting Started - Step-by-step guidance on creating a well-organized lighting plan, from transformer placement to light grouping and future-proofing tips for your landscape lighting system.
• Tutorial: Wiring Basics - Learn essential wiring and connection fundamentals, understand National Electrical Code installation requirements, and access further detailed resources for inquisitive users.
• Tutorial: VA vs W (Volt-Amperes vs Watts) - Differentiate between VA (Volt-Amperes) and Watts (W) and how to correctly apply them in the calculators.
