Opensprinkler and lighting question

[Sidey21]

Hi, bit of a newbie to this stuff

i just received my opensprinkler DC and have been having a bit of a play.

i have a set of 12v dc LED outdoor lights. when i hook it up to the system 1 wire on come 1 wire on station 1. when i active the station it flashes and all lights come on but all but the last set go off straight away. the last set are very dim as well.

any idea’s is what i am trying to do completely wrong lol , i am no electronics expert

any help or guideance would be much apreciated

I’m not an expert either but is it possible too much current is being drawn. If you put less lights per station is it more stable?

You said ‘all lights come on but all but the last set go off straight away’ — I don’t quite understand this: what did you mean by ‘the last set’. Does the LEDs come in multiple sets, or did you mean the last one on the chain? I think you probably want to check the current requirement of these LED lights — OpenSprinkler DC can only handle 1 to 2 amps per station. If the LED current exceeds the amount, it won’t be able to supply the current required.
