Tresco Products Tested and Certified for
Canada and the United States
ETL or UL marks serve as proof of product
compliance to Canadian and U.S. standards.
When products bear these marks, it indicates
to the consumer that the products have passed
a complete and thorough set of tests and
certification requirements.
All TRESCO® lighting systems are registered
and certified by ETL and/or UL. In addition, a
majority of our individual lighting components
(lights, power supplies, and accessories) are
also registered and certified by ETL and/or UL.
UL’s Recognized Component Mark
The UL Recognized Component Mark is used on
components that are a part of larger products or systems.
It is certified by UL to both Canadian and U.S. requirements.
CE Mark
CE Marking permits a product to be
sold throughout the European Union. It
is a conformity mark noting the product
complies with all applicable European
Directives.

Color temperature is the rating a particular color renders on the Kelvin scale. These color
temperatures alter how an object or room is perceived when illuminated, and Tresco Lighting
offers a wide range to choose from.
The color temperatures available for each Tresco light are listed in their product specification
chart. To find the appropriate color temperature range for your application, please reference the
table above.

Understanding the Importance of Light Spread
Any puck-style, under-cabinet light should have a light spread of at least 90º in order to avoid spot lighting.
The cases noted here have light spreads of 25º and 45º. In the case of the 25º light spread, each fixture needs to be spaced a
maximum of 8” apart to avoid spot lighting, and the 45º light would need to be placed 12” apart. In both cases, narrow beam
lights produce higher foot-candle (FC) readings but limited coverage. Simply choosing higher FC readings and ignoring the
beam angle leads to unintentional spot lighting.
When compared to competitor lighting options, using a Tresco 3W provides 127 lumens with 120º spread versus only 28 and
70 lumens with spreads of 25° and 45°. This allows Tresco 3W pucks to be spaced 20” apart, creating continuous lighting
without scallops or shadows. Only five Tresco lights are needed to illuminate the countertop surface and backsplash, 45%

• To wire a kitchen with Tresco 12V lights, first roughly lay out
lighting system to help verify final positioning of all components.
Make sure to add up all the wattage of the lighting system. Do not
exceed the wattage rating of the Power Supply. If using a Tresco
D.I.Y. Controller, do not exceed the wattage of the Controller.
In-Wall Wiring:
For in-wall wiring – typically used for frameless cabinets –
use 16-gauge Class 2 wire (minimum) to route wire through kitchen
walls (see 1st illustration below).
For outside of wall wiring – typically used for framed cabinets – use
wires provided with Tresco lighting fixtures with appropriate link and
extension leads (LINKD series) that are available in several lengths.
Note: A licensed electrician should be consulted for wiring through walls
and other permanent structures. When mounting and wiring a light system,
follow all local electric codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC).

VoltageDrop
Drop
Voltage
Voltage drop is the amount of electric current lost due to the
resistance of the conductors (wires).

Lighting

Lighting
®
Light
Series
Pockit
(Puck)
Light
Series
Pockit(Puck)
On most installations – even larger installations – voltage drop is
not an issue, but excessive voltage drop could result in diminished
light output. Keeping wire length in mind is a best practice to ensure
optimum light performance.
®
®
For instance, if specifications recommend that the maximum length
from Power Supply to the first Light not exceed 5 meters (16 ft.), the
light will still work if you exceed that length! Again the loss is
gradual, but an excessive length could result in dimmer light.
• Note: The information provided for measuring voltage drop is a
general guide only based on the length of the run and assuming 50%
load (30W). Voltage drop goes down with less load and voltage drop
goes up with more load. Other factors may influence voltage drop. All
measurements and calculations are approximate.
Other factors also influence voltage drop, including the number of
connectors, quality of the conductor (aluminum vs. copper wires), and
cross-sectional area (gauge).
• In-wall wiring: Wires that are attached to or accompany Tresco
lighting systems are not approved for in-wall use. Class 2, 16-gauge
(AWG) wires must be used (purchased separately).
All Tresco wires and cords provided are specifically for wiring
outside of walls and have a 4.6 meters (15 ft.) maximum length
recommendation.
• All Tresco Power Supplies can be applied to the information provided
herein on voltage drop.
Ideally, Voltage Drop variance should be within 5%.
Absolute maximum should never exceed 8%.
For in-wall wiring, stranded Class 2, 16-gauge wires must be used
(purchased separately). Also if needed, lower gauge (which means
larger wire) helps reduce voltage drop by lowering overall resistance.
• Recommended maximum length using links/extensions that
accompany Tresco lights = 4.6 meters (15 ft.).
• Recommended maximum length using Class 2, 16-gauge wire =
7.6 meters (25 ft.).

Voltage Drop to Light #1 is above 5-8% variance.
Run of lights will be dimmer than expected.
The total Voltage Drop is 9% with a variance between Light #1 and Light #3 of 0.7% which is not noticeable.
