Armacost 401000 White Inground Well LED Landscape Light

Inground LED Landscape Light

The Inground LED Landscape Light is designed to beautifully highlight small trees, shrubs, walls, structures, and pathways while providing enhanced safety and security of your property. These outdoor lights are easy to install and low-voltage safe.

• Rugged cast aluminum construction
• All stainless steel hardware with a durable black powder coat paint finish
• IP67 wet location rated, water-resistant housing and seals; maintenance-free operation
• No bulbs to change, rated for 40,000 hours or 13 years if left on for eight hours a day

Installation

Before installation, please note:

• Not suitable for underwater applications
• Do not stare directly into the light when illuminated
• Basic wiring skills such as stripping, splicing, extending, and connecting wires are required
• Power supply, wire and connectors are sold separately

To install the light:

1. Make a hole 2-1/4 in. (56mm) in diameter and at least 4 in. (100mm) deep to install the light and run the wire to the power supply.
2. Determine your power supply requirement. Add together the individual wattages of all the LED light fixtures used in your design. Always choose a power supply rated greater than your needs. The number of lights installed is limited only by the watts output rating of the power supply. These lights use 4.5 watts each.
3. Connect to power.

Power Supply Location and Voltage Drop

Voltage drop is the gradual decrease in voltage that occurs from your power supply to your LED lighting. The shorter the wire leads between the power supply and the LED lighting, the brighter and more consistent the lighting will be. Do not coil excess wire. It’s best to locate the power supply as close to the lighting as possible to lessen the effect of voltage drop. Always use an appropriate enclosure to protect the power supply if not rated for wet location use.

Layout Options

Layout options that will reduce voltage drop and promote more uniform light output:

• Loop Back
• Center Feed
• Array

Typical Connections

Be sure to observe the same cable polarity in all applications. The normally recommended wire is 12 to 18 AWG. All cables must be rated for underground use.

Warranty
Three-year limited warranty. Improper installation, abuse, or failure to use this product for its intended purpose will void the warranty. This warranty only applies when all components, including LED power supplies, have been provided by or approved for use by Armacost Lighting. The warranty does not cover labor or any other costs or expense to remove or install any defective, repaired, or replaced products.

Power supply location, voltage drop

• Voltage drop is the gradual decrease in voltage that occurs from your power supply to your LED lighting.
• The shorter the wire leads between the power supply and the LED lighting, the brighter and more consistent the lighting will be. Do not coil excess wire.
• It’s best to locate the power supply as close to the lighting as possible to lessen the effect of voltage drop.
• Always use an appropriate enclosure to protect the power supply if not rated for wet location use.
• Test your LED lighting prior to final installation.
• On large installations with multiple lights, if voltage drop appears to be an issue, use thicker, heavier gauge wires or power your system from both ends (see loop back configuration).

Layout options that will reduce voltage drop and promote more uniform light output

Be sure to observe the same cable polarity in all applications. The normally recommended wire is 12 to 18 AWG. All cables must be rated for underground use.

Typical connections

All wire splice connections should be made waterproof using outdoor, wet location-rated connectors such as silicone-filled wire nuts, crimp butt-splice connectors that use sealants, or heat shrink tubing. Always maintain polarity: red (+) to red and black (–) to black for 2-wire white lighting.
