Is there any significant advantage in a loop connection for recessed lighting.?

When I installed my Malibu lights (12 lamps) one option for connecting was the loop circuit for which the instruction manual says gives a more even brightness of each lamp. I did it that way. Now I am connecting my recessed ceiling lights (6 lamps) and I am curious if the loop method has a significant advantage over a straight parallel. Or am I just overkilling it.

no there is no advantage. it's better to run your wires the right way. recessed lighting does not draw much electrical current. the only thing to make sure of is when you put your recessed lighting in is make sure you have the right fixtures.you either need insulated or non insulated ceiling fixtures.insulated means you can have the insulation in your ceiling up against your fixture and non insulated must have the insulation at least no less then 3" from the fixture.if it less than 3" it could cause the insulation to get hot and cause a fire.
Reply:Overkill, just do it in parallel...You dont have voltage drop issues.

Reply:NO do not do this with home wiring. It is a no no.





Inspector will not pass you.





You did get a permit right?





You can do your own wiring but only with a permit.





As stated before no worries about voltage drop in home wiring unless you are doing something seriously wrong.
