Laminars, it is recommended that no more than six (6) MagicStream laminars be used
with a maximum of 50 feet 12 gauge cable run, between the transformer and the junction
box. There should be no more than 100 feet of cable between the junction box and the
MagicStream laminar. This will ensure that the MagicStream laminars receive a minimum
operating power of 12 VAC. Note: For long cable lengths, set transformer to 14 VAC, see
