Connecting two neon lights together can be done by following a few simple steps:
1. Gather the necessary materials: You will need two neon lights, a power supply, a transformer, a switch, electrical wires, wire connectors, and a junction box.
2. Ensure safety precautions: Before starting any electrical work, make sure that all power sources are turned off and unplugged. It's also important to wear protective gear such as gloves to avoid any potential electric shock.
3. Mount the transformer: Find a suitable location to mount the transformer. It should be placed in a dry and ventilated area and securely fastened to a wall or surface.
4. Connect the transformer to the power supply: Using electrical wires, connect the input terminals of the transformer to the power supply. Ensure that the wires are firmly connected and insulated properly using wire connectors.
5. Connect the neon lights: Cut the necessary length of electrical wires to connect the first neon light to the transformer. Strip the ends of the wires to expose the copper conductors. Connect one end of the wire to the transformer's secondary output terminal and the other end to the neon light's input terminal. Repeat this step for the second neon light.
6. Secure the connections: Use wire connectors to securely fasten the electrical wires to the neon light and transformer terminals. Inspect the connections to ensure they are tight and well-insulated.
7. Install the switch: Mount the switch in a convenient location near the neon lights. Connect one end of an electrical wire to the switch and the other end to the transformer's primary input terminal. This will allow you to control the power supply to the neon lights.
8. Enclose the connections: Place all the connections inside a junction box to protect them from dust, moisture, and accidental contact. Securely close the junction box to ensure the connections are protected and safe.
9. Test the connection: Turn on the power supply and test the neon lights to see if they light up. Double-check all connections and make any necessary adjustments if the lights are not functioning properly.
