Finally got my panel terminations down from 20 minutes to under 5
A couple years back, I'd fumble with every wire, double-check the manual, and it just ate up time. Then I started color-coding my own wire bundles with tape before I even got to the panel, based on the zone list. I keep a laminated cheat sheet of the most common panel models in my van now too. It sounds simple, but it cut my average termination time by like 75%. What's your go-to trick for speeding up panel work without making mistakes?

My old foreman swore by a headlamp for those dim corner panels.

Honestly, a headlamp seems like overkill for some trim work. Can't you just pull in a portable work light or something? Tbh my eyes adjusted fine after a minute in most of those corners.
