Installation Instructions
-
Lay fixtures out as they will be installed.
-
Run landscape wire (WP14-2DB or WP12-2DB available at superbrightleds.com) from 12V supply past each light. Wire must be within 8” of mounting stake to allow power connections to be made.
-
Use quick connects supplied with each fixture to connect each light to the landscape wire.
-
Using a small shovel and/or water, loosen the ground where fixture will be installed. Press stake into ground.
Note: Do not use a hammer or exert excessive force on the fixture while installing as this may cause damage.
Note: DO NOT force stake using fixture as grip. Push from stake only. -
Turn on 12V supply and ensure all fixtures are working. If one or more individual fixtures are not working, check each connection to landscape wire. If none come on, check connection to the 12V supply. It is recommended to wrap all
connections in electrical or self-fusing tape (available at superbrightleds.com). -
