Landscape lighting is an outdoor wiring system. Buried, wet splices accelerate corrosion. A hub enclosure creates a serviceable connection point so repairs and upgrades stay clean instead of turning into endless re-splicing.
Reliability
Centralizing connections reduces buried splices and the corrosion issues that come with them.
Serviceability
Troubleshooting is faster when branch runs terminate in a known, accessible hub.
Upgrades
Adding fixtures and balancing loads is cleaner when wiring is organized by design.
Bring branch-run connections to one serviceable point instead of burying them across beds.
Keep connections cleaner and reduce standing-water exposure that accelerates corrosion.
Voltage checks and branch isolation become quicker when the system is organized.
Cleaner wiring makes future fixture additions and control upgrades far less invasive.
Most lighting callbacks are not transformer failures or bad fixtures—they are connection failures. A splice can test “okay” today and fail next week after rain, freeze/thaw, or shifting soil.
For systems standardized on Alliance Outdoor Lighting, the CS100 hub enclosure is a strong service-first option for centralizing connections.
This is a living guide. We update it as new products, service patterns, and field learnings emerge.
Outages, flicker, and dim-at-the-end usually trace back to splices, cable damage, or voltage drop. Service includes locating the failure point, rebuilding splices, and re-balancing runs so the fix lasts.
