[QUOTE="TerryK, post: 127008, member: 32169"] It all looks pretty good, I do have a few thoughts however. The JST connectors are not used very much by ACL individuals as they are rather 'light-weight' and not very immune to dust/dirt/moisture. Strings that have JST connectors typically also have a smaller gauge wire, 22 or 24 AWG generally. The JST connectors in the graphic you posted carry the positive and negative supply through the connector so the string 'taps' you have connected are mostly used for power injection. As such are then a bit redundant when connecting them around the JST connector. I followed (or tried following) the wires and the prop cable connection point has a white and green(?) wire left in the open. Not quite sure what their purpose is but would be I think a good thing to insulate them. Feeding power to both ends of a string is what is generally called 'double-ended power injection' and is quite common. If I might suggest anything, it would be to download and read through the ACL 101 Manual if you not yet already and using the Form Search capability, see what others have said about power injection, wire AWG size, and connectors to name several topics which are or have been discussed numerous times.

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
