Product Usage Instructions
- Turn off power before installation.
- Examine the fixture and identify the casing that encloses it. Gently lift the casing away from the fixture.
- Observe the upper portion of the fixture. Rotate the top part in a counter-clockwise direction. Maintain a steady force while turning, allowing the fasteners to release.
- Locate the socket where the lamp will be inserted. Align the lamp’s base or pins with the corresponding slot in the socket. Gently push the lamp into the socket, ensuring a secure and snug fit.
- Carefully position the top part of the fixture above the lower part aligning the groove. Turn in a clockwise motion until you feel the top part properly engaging with the lower part until it is securely fastened. Gently push or slide the casing onto the fixture, maintaining even pressure.
- Select a suitable spot where you intend to dig the hole, considering factors such as purpose, accessibility, and any relevant guidelines or regulations. Gradually dig deeper, removing the loosened soil. Calculate the approximate volume of pea gravel or sand required to fill the cleared space, taking into account the 3-inch clearance on all sides.
- Inspect the hole and surrounding area to ensure that the depth, width, and clearance meet the specified requirements.
- Using a suitable main cable connector for direct burial, attach the fixture(s) wires. We recommend using WN12 waterproof wire nuts (sold separately) for optimal connectivity.
- To install the fixture in the hole and ensure proper water drainage by filling the extra space with pea gravel or sand, please follow these instructions:
- Make sure the fixture is clean and free from any debris or obstructions.
- Ensure that any necessary electrical connections have been made or are ready to be connected.
