Installation
LED Lighting Considerations
Note: We do not provide a low voltage transformer. The choice of the
transformer should be decided by the landscape lighting designer or if you are
installing it yourself can be sourced directly online from sites like Amazon.
The LED light requires 12 Volts and up to 10 Watts.
The light color or temperature is 4000K, commonly called “Cool”, just above
neutral. The maximum light output is 800 Lumens, similar to a 60-Watt
incandescent light bulb. The area of illumination is approx. 1.5′
There are two wires coming from the bottom of the Forza850T-LUM one is for
connecting to an amplifier for sound and the other is for connecting to a
transformer for the LED light and is labeled “LED Light”.
The wire for the LED light can be extended. A 5% reduction in brightness can
be expected using 14 gauge wire over 190 feet.
If you are partially burying the Forza850T-LUM, please experiment with the
depth and its effect on the lighting effect you are trying to achieve.
When in doubt, consult a landscape lighting designer.
Step 1
Evaluate the location of the speaker. Project the length of speaker wire you
will run.
Note: when purchasing additional direct burial speaker wire, make sure the
wire gauge is consistent.
Omni speakers reproduce sound in a full 360 degree and a speaker will cover a
large area with sound if properly placed.
Step 2
Once you have decided on the location for your in-ground speaker, dig a trench
about 5” leading from the speaker to the input source for the speaker cables.
For the FORZA850T-LUM Omni speaker, dig a trench hole approximately 16” in
diameter and 5” deep for the speaker enclosure.
Step 3
Place the Omni speaker in the hole you have dug. Run the direct burial wire
through the trench to the location of the amplifier or receiver.
Please note: When connecting the additional wire be sure to use water-tight
wire connectors.
Step 4
Use the Tap switch located on the speaker to select the appropriate setting
best suited for your application.
Step 5 Connect the wires from the Omni speaker to the amplifier or
receiver. Please make sure the polarity on the cables and the speaker are in
sync.
Optional : Using an outdoor volume control makes it convenient for you to
adjust the volume outside.
Step 6 Turn on your amplifier or
receiver to test the speaker. If the speaker sounds fine, refill the wiring
trench and cover the submerged part of the speaker.
