INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
To ensure optimal performance and safety, it is important to use our fixtures ONLY with a low voltage landscape transformer. This transformer reduces the voltage from 120V to 12V, making it safe and suitable for outdoor use. When installing the fixture(s), please follow these instructions carefully:
- Before installation, please ensure that the power is turned off for your safety
- Take a moment to 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 pocket, 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 ofpea 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.
