Kindly ensure that you keep the proof of purchase as it will be required for any warranty claims. Warranty will be void if there is any damage due to improper usage or modification to the fixture. Failure to comply with the instruction in this manual may increase the risk of damage or injury and will void warranty.
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.
This will allow you to route the wires towards the main line connection. To do this, use a drill bit or hole saw that is the same diameter as the wires. Make sure to measure and mark the hole accurately beforehand. Once the holes are made, you can proceed to install.
When installing the fixture(s), please follow these instructions carefully:
Installing in Wood & Concrete
- Before installation, please ensure that the power is turned off for your safety.
- To unlock or open the fixture, loosen the screws using a screwdriver.
- Using a pencil or marker, carefully mark the screw hole locations on the wall through the holes in the metal plate.
- Select an appropriately sized drill bit for the pilot holes, which should match the diameter of the screws you are using. It is recommended to use a bit slightly smaller than the screws to provide a secure grip.
- Position the drill bit on each marked spot and gently drill pilot holes into the wall at the marked locations. Take care not todrill too deep, ensuring the depth matches the length of the screws.
- For concrete installation, construct conduit raceways inside the concrete formwork by using one-inch dowels and PVC pipe before pouring the concrete. After the concrete has cured, remove the dowels and proceed to finish the outer surface of each riser if you are installing it in stairs.
- Attach the wires from the fixture(s) to the main cable. For best results, we recommend using WN12 waterproof wire nuts (which are sold separately) to ensure optimal connectivity and protection against dust, moisture, and water damage.
- Strip the insulation: Carefully strip approximately 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) of insulation from the ends of the two wires you wish to connect. Ensure that the bare metal ends are clean and free from any frayed strands.
- Align the wires: Hold the stripped ends of the two wires together, aligning them neatly and ensuring that no stray strands are crossing over.

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:
INSTALLING IN WOOD & CONCRETE
-
Before installation, please ensure that the power is turned off for your safety.
-
To unlock or open the fixture, loosen the screws using a screw driver.
-
Using a pencil or marker, carefully mark the screw hole locations on the wall through the holes in the metal plate.
-
Select an appropriately sized drill bit for the pilot holes, which should match the diameter of the screws you are using. It is recommended to use a bit slightly smaller than the screws to provide a secure grip.
-
Position the drill bit on each marked spot and gently drill pilot holes into the wall at the marked locations. Take care not to drill too deep, ensuring the depth matches the length of the screws.
-
To ensure a proper installation of the fixture, it is necessary to diligently create a hole on the wall that corresponds to the size of the wire.
This will allow you to route the wires towards the main line connection. To do this, use a drill bit or hole saw that is the same diameter as the wires. Make sure to measure and mark the hole accurately beforehand. Once the hole are made, you can proceed to install. -
For concrete installation, To begin, construct conduit raceways inside the concrete formwork by using one-inch dowels and PVC pipe before pouring the concrete. After the concrete has cured, remove the d o w e l s a n d proceed to finish the outer surface of each riser if you are installing it in stairs.
