FX Luminaire FC-3LED-CW-BZ FC Well Light
Product Information
The LED Well Lights are premium landscape lighting fixtures designed for recessed installation in an upward direction. They are available in different types, including Ring (RG), Cowling (CW), Wash (GW), and Louver (LV). The fixtures are made with die-cast brass or aluminum construction and feature a two-layer marine-grade anodization and powder coat finish. They have tamper- resistant features and are compatible with Luxor technology. The lights are phase and PWM dimmable and have an input voltage range of 10-15V. The FC Well Lights come with different specifications, including output, input voltage, input power, efficacy, color rendering index (CRI), center beam candlepower, dimming capabilities, RGBW availability, Luxor compatibility, and minimum rated life. The materials used for the fixtures include die-cast C360 brass faceplate with powder coated A380 aluminum housing. The socket contains MoistureBlockTM technology to prevent moisture from wicking up into sealed areas of the fixture. The lamp is an integrated module with Cree LEDs, gold- plated connectors, and conformal coated for maximum reliability and corrosion resistance. The on-board intelligent driver uses firmware-controlled temperature regulation to maximize LED life. The fixtures require a remote transformer (to be specified separately) and are designed for recessed installation in the upward direction only. The ground wash option is approved for driveover according to IEC 60598-1 requirements. The LED Well Lights come with a 10-year limited warranty and are available with wildlife-friendly amber LEDs in the ZD 3LEDT option.
The fixtures are manufactured in a facility certified with ISO 9001:2015 standards. The faceplate is made of die-cast C360 brass with designed features for protection, glare control, walkway illumination, or optimal beam pattern. Aluminum faceplate is available on select models.
Product Usage Instructions
- Choose the desired type of LED Well Light: Ring (RG), Cowling (CW), Wash (GW), or Louver (LV).
- Ensure you have a remote transformer with an input voltage range of 10-15VAC/VDC 50/60Hz.
- Select the appropriate output based on your lighting needs: 1LED, 3LED, 3LEDT, 6LED, 9LED, or ZDC-integrated LEDs.
- Install the fixture in a recessed position, facing upward.
- Make sure the ground wash option is installed according to the requirements listed in IEC 60598-1 if using it for driveover purposes.
- If dimming is desired, use a trailing-edge, phase-cut dimmer for optimal performance.
- Refer to the color temperature filters to achieve the desired lighting effect.
- For Luxor compatibility, follow the specified zoning options for each type of LED Well Light.
- Ensure that the fixture is properly sealed to prevent moisture ingress using the MoistureBlockTM technology in the socket.
- Replace the integrated module with Cree LEDs if needed. The LEDs have a rated life of 55,000 hours.
- Contact customer support if any issues arise within the 10-year limited warranty period.
