    EXTENDING AL DOT RUNS Due to the limited current carrying capacity of the internal power buses, runs of AL Dot fixtures must not exceed 100 feet / 50 units when they are directly connected to each other (less when link cables are also used - see page 7). Where more AL Dots / longer runs are required, you can either arrange separate parallel runs of fixtures, or use the optional T-cable [AGDT1] from Acclaim Lighting.
