How To Wire An LED Light Circuit With Wago Connectors

Wiring a 12V lighting circuit with Wago connectors is a straightforward and efficient way to set up a reliable low-voltage lighting system. Wago connectors provide a simple yet secure method for making electrical connections without the need for complex terminal blocks or piggyback blade terminals.

To begin, you'll want to start by identifying the key components of your 12V lighting circuit - this typically includes a power source, such as a battery, the Wago connectors themselves, the appropriate cable and the individual 12V light fixtures you'll be connecting and don't worry, we have a wiring diagram and video to accompany our instructions.

We will go through how to wire a circuit of two lights with Wago connectors.

When wiring the circuit, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. To start, you will need a battery, 2 lights, 2 x 3 way Wago connectors and 2 x 2 way Wago connectors and the appropriate cables for the lighting circuit.

2. Strip a short length of insulation from the end of each wire, exposing the bare copper conductor.

3. Take a feed from your battery positive and insert the cable into the first port on the 3 way Wago connector pressing firmly until you feel it lock into place. The internal spring-loaded clamps within the Wago connector will grip the wire tightly, creating a secure connection without the need for any tools.

4. Take the positive feed from the first light and insert this in to the second port on the 3 way Wago connector. Then from the third port on the 3 way Wago connector, take a positive feed to a 2 way Wago connector located by your second light. Then take the positive feed from the second light to the second port on the 2 way Wago connector.

5. Repeat this process for the negatives in the circuit and then you will have light! 

Please see a very basic wiring diagram of this below:

You would need a fuse between the battery source and the first light inline on the positive cable - or you could recreate the above just coming directly from a fusebox.

You could also fit a switch inline on the positive between the fuse and first light - or opt for 'touch' operated lights, whichever you prefer.

The modular design of Wago connectors also allows you to easily add, remove, or rearrange light fixtures as needed, offering unparalleled flexibility compared to traditional wire nut connections. Overall, the combination of 12V lighting and Wago connectors results in a clean, compact, and hassle-free low-voltage wiring solution perfect for a wide range of indoor and outdoor lighting applications.
