LED Landscape Light with Spike
Beautifully highlight small trees, shrubs, walls, structures, and pathways while providing enhanced safety and security of your property. These outdoor lights are easy to install and low-voltage safe.
- Rugged cast aluminum construction with a 39 in. power wire lead
- All stainless steel hardware with a durable black powder coat finish
- IP67 wet location rated, water-resistant housing and seals; maintenance-free operation
- No bulbs to change, rated for 50,000 hours or 17 years if left on for eight hours a day
- Approximately 30° beam angle
- Ambient air operating temperature range is -4°F (-20°C) to 140°F (60°C)
White 3000K LED model: Operates on either 12-volt or 24-volt AC or DC
power – this model can be used with existing low-voltage landscape lighting
transformers that have 12-volt or 24-volt AC output. Provides output of
approximately 350 lumens.
RGB color-adjustable model: Use only with 12-volt DC output constant
voltage power supplies. Not compatible with landscape lighting transformers
that use 12-volt AC output unless used with Arm cost AC to DC 12-volt power
converter. Uses red, green, and blue LED chipsets with a color controller
(required) to produce a nearly endless array of colors, plus shades of white.
RGB lights are fully dimmable with color controllers.
INSTALLATION
- Not suitable for underwater applications
- Do not stare directly into the light when illuminated
- Basic wiring skills such as stripping, splicing, extending, and connecting wires are required
- Power supplies, color controllers, wire, and connectors sold separately
Determine your power supply requirement
Add together the individual wattages of all the LED light fixtures used in
your design. Always choose a power supply rated greater than your needs. The
number of lights installed is limited only by the watts output rating of the
power supply.
- White LED models use 5 watts each
- RGB LED color-adjustable models use 10 watts when set at 100% bright white color, which uses the most energy
Power supply location, voltage drop
Voltage drop is the gradual decrease in voltage that occurs from your power
supply to your LED lighting.
The shorter the wire leads between the power supply and the LED lighting, the
brighter and more consistent the lighting will be. Do not coil excess wire.
It’s best to locate the power supply and RGB color controller as close to the
lighting as possible to lessen the effect of voltage drop. Always use an
appropriate enclosure to protect the RGB color controller and power supply if
not rated for wet location use.
Test your LED lighting prior to final installation.
On large installations with multiple lights, if voltage drop appears to be an
issue, use thicker, heavier gauge wires or power your system from both ends
(see loop back configuration).
Layout options that will reduce voltage drop and promote more uniform light
output
Be sure to observe same cable polarity in all applications.
Normal recommended wire is 12 to 18 AWG. 20 AWG 4-conductor wire can be used
for shorter runs of RGB color adjustable light models. All cables must be
rated for underground use. To determine what wire size will work best in your
design, visit

for an easy-to-use online voltage drop calculator.
Typical connections
All wire splice connections should be made waterproof using outdoor, wet
location rated connectors such as silicone-filled wire nuts, crimp butt-splice
connectors that use sealants, or heat shrink tubing.
Always maintain polarity: red (+) to red and black (–) to black for 2-wire
white lighting. For 4-wire RGB lighting connections, align all colors: red to
red, green to green, and blue to blue, with the 12-volt positive (+) wire
being either white or black.
Three-year limited warranty
Improper installation, abuse, or failure to use this product for its intended
purpose will void warranty. This warranty only applies when all components,
including LED power supplies, have been provided by or approved for use by
Arm cost Lighting. The warranty does not cover labor or any other costs or
expense to remove or install any defective, repaired, or replaced products.
