Protecting the lighting systems will dramatically reduce the likelihood of damage and/or failure occurring. It is critical to protect any link or bus with runs that travel between buildings or exterior lighting loads. Any power outage or lightning strike will produce damaging transients. This will be the most common cause of port failure and reduced life and performance of all connected loads.
