JDO1501L-2-BK LED Low Voltage Path Light
Product Information: LED Low Voltage Path Light
The LED Low Voltage Path Light is a set of outdoor lighting fixtures that come in three different models: JDO1501L-2/BK, JDO1501L-2/CP, and JDO1501L-2/AL. The package includes a Use and Care Guide along with the fixtures. These fixtures are designed to be installed in the ground and are ideal for lighting up walkways, driveways, and gardens. They require a low voltage power unit and underground low-energy circuit cable for operation.
Product Usage Instructions
Attaching and Installing the Light:
- Prepare a hole in the installation location using a screwdriver or any other tool that is not larger than the ground stake (C).
- Screw the ground stake (C) into the lamp body (A).
- Insert the fixture wire on the wire connector (B) into the groove located on the top of the ground stake (C). Ensure that the fixture wire stays in the center of the groove to avoid damage to the wire.
- Install the fixture in the ground by pushing on the footstep (1) on the ground stake (C). Do not push on the lamp body (A).
- Do not use a hammer to insert the ground stake (C) into the ground or push the fixture into the ground by the lamp body (A).
Connecting the Wires:
- Place the wire connector (B) on opposite sides of the low voltage cable from the transformer where the fixture will be located.
- Align and fit the main low voltage cable vertically to the slot of the wire connector (B).
- Press the wire connector (B) together until it is locked around the main low voltage cable. The pre-set prongs will pierce the cable insulation and establish contact with the electrical wire inside.
- Wrap the wire connector (B) with electrical tape after it is in place.
- Make sure to use a 12-16 AWG type underground low energy circuit cable for the low voltage power unit.
- Do not install the fixture within 10 ft. of a pool, spa, or fountain. Do not submerge the fixture in water.
Care and Cleaning:
- Clean the fixture with a soft dry cloth.
- Do not use any cleaners with chemicals, solvents, or harsh abrasives.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Problem| Possible Cause| Solution
The fixture will not light.| □ There is no power.
□ There is a disconnection or break in the wire.
□ The transformer setting is incorrect.
| □ Check the outlet and ensure that a breaker or GFCI circuit has not been tripped.
□ Follow the wires from the fixture and ensure a continuous connected path back to the transformer.
□ Check the settings on the transformer.
The light flickers (one fixture).| □ There is a loose wire connector to the
fixture.| □ Tighten the wire connector and ensure the metal contacts pierce
the insulation on the low voltage cable from the transformer.
The lights flicker (all fixtures).| □ There is a loose connection at the
transformer.| □ Unplug the transformer from the outlet and visually inspect
the positive and negative connecting points. Each wire should be securely
screwed in and not in contact with any other.

Assembly and Installation
Attaching and installing the light
WARNING : Never push the fixture into the ground by the lamp body (A) or use a hammer to insert the ground stake (C) into the ground.
- Insert the fixture wire on the wire connector (B) into the groove located on the top of the ground stake (C).
- Screw the ground stake (C) into the lamp body (A). Ensure the fixture wire on the wire connector (B) stays in the center of the groove of the ground stake (C) to avoid damage to the fixture wire.
- Prepare a hole in the installation location. Use a tool such as a screwdriver (not included) to prepare the installation hole to ensure that the hole is not larger than the ground stake (C).
- Install the fixture in the ground by pushing on the foot step (1) on the ground stake (C). Do not push on the lamp body (A).
Connecting the wires
- WARNING : The wire connector (B) contacts have sharp edges for piercing the main low voltage cable. To avoid injury, do not touch the metal contacts.
- CAUTION : The wire from low voltage power unit should be 12-16 AWG type underground low Energy Circuit Cable.
- IMPORTANT :
- Protect the wiring by routing it in close proximity to the light fitting, or next to a building structure such as a house or a deck.
- The landscape wire and connector can also be hidden under stone or buried under grass at a maximum depth of 6 in. (15.24 cm).
- Do not install the fixture within 10 ft. of a pool, spa, or fountain.
- Do not submerge the fixture in water.
- Place the wire connector (B) on opposite sides of the low voltage cable (not included) from the transformer (not included) where the fixture will be located.
- Align and fit the main low voltage cable vertically to the slot of the wire connector (B).
- Press the wire connector (B) together until it is locked around the main low voltage cable. The pre-set prongs will pierce the cable insulation and establish contact with the electrical wire inside.
- Once the wire connector (B) is in place, it is recommended to wrap it with electrical tape (not included).
- After all fixtures are installed, turn on the transformer.
