Making a light.

[enjoi_madness]

I have 4 - 24" lights that i want to string together for one fixture so I only have to plug in one plug. Would putting the power cord after the transformer parallel into the final power cord work? Or would there be too much of a voltage drop? Or what would be a better way of connecting all four together without having to plug in all four lights? I drew a picture to help illustrate what i mean. red is positive and black is negative. The top is what i have and the bottom is what i want to achieve.

Thats how I would do it,cant see a problem wouldnt think twice about plugging all 4 into a power strip and plugging it in

It should work just fine

I would think that would be ok too, as long as the xformers are double insulated. if they arent there should be a safety ground (green) that would connect to earth ground. As far as the load is concerned, there wont be a problem. You may also consider using a junction block to connect the wires so you dont have the bulk of 5 wires all tied to each other. (they should say if the are double insulated or have the symbol to indicate that they are....that symbol looks like this:

Be sure to also check that the plug that you are connecting them to ( and the wire that goes to the plug) is rated for the amperage that you will be pulling. (probably less than 4 if i was guessing)
