W E ‘ LL S H OW YO U H OW A S S O O N A S YOU’RE POWERED UP.

**Use the instructions here to assemble the pieces, then clamp it to your ground wire like other low voltage garden accessories.

**

Ok, so how do I put it all together?

We’ll explain quickly how.

YOU WANT TO INSTALL IN THE EARTH

Ground Spike:
Use this to put the Path light in garden beds and other in-ground locations.
Prepare
Slot the wire on the Path light into the spike. Let the wire hang loose.
Attach to the light
Screw the spike into the Path light base until it’s securely attached.

Next, put it in position
Find the desired location and plant the light with attached mounting stake by firmly pressing it into the soil.

A little tough?
Wet the soil or dig a little to soften it up. Ensure the entire stake is in the ground, with the Path light sitting on the surface.

YOU WANT TO ATTACH TO A SOLID SURFACE

Mount plate
Use this to affix the Path light to surfaces.
Prepare
Pick the best place to mount your light and thread the cable through the big hole in the middle of the mount
If you have a square shaped LIFX Path, this line indicates where the straight edge will line up so you can align it.

Attach the mount
If you’re attaching the mount to wood or softer surfaces, simply install it with the provided screws.
Screwing into masonry?
Position the product then mark where you need your screws. Drill two 1/4″ holes. Push in the provided anchors. Line up the mount and install the screws into the anchor. Done!
Affix the light
Gently feed the cable through as you lower the Path light onto the attached mount. Line up the notches and put it onto the mount. Twist the light carefully to lock in place.

Cautions

  Safety first

CONNECT THE WIRES

Time to hook this baby up!
Clamp the provided cable to your low voltage system wire, as you would any other accessory lighting product for your setup.
IMPORTANT!
We’re checking one last time before you clamp it: Your system is 12V, and you have 33 Watts allowance (after calculations for wiring) left on the attached transformer. Ok, great!

Warning:

1. To avoid risk of shock, always make sure the product is disconnected from power before assembling, disassembling, installing, relocating, servicing or cleaning it.
2. Do not overload. Check that the Watts used by this product are within the load limit of your transformer.
3. Make sure all connectors are tightly secured to prevent water entry.  Do not submerse.
4. The instructions in this manual are not intended to cover every possible installation, operation, maintenance, or mounting situation.

THEN…

Connect the end to the wire attached to the Path light.

Check you’ve got these nicely lined up so the two sides fit together and screw the cap over the join tightly to ensure it’s waterproof.

P I C K H O W Y O U W A N T T O P A I R I T

Download the LIFX App (if you haven’t yet) a nd sign in. Make sure your light is on.

You’ll need our app for the all fun stuff later, like blending awesome colors.

*The Matter set-up.**

Your light will notify your device to add it via Matter. Click on this. Pick the smart home platform you want to add your light to.
Why?
Matter is a new, universal system for smart devices to work together seamlessly across 3rd party apps and various services. To use Matter home and away, you’ll need a Google, Apple or other smart home hub that’s Matter- enabled*. Devices with older hardware may not be compatible.
No notification? No problem. Scan the QR code on the back of this manual to start setup any time.
The old-school LIFX way
Open your LIFX app and hit the + button in the bottom right. We’ll guide you through from there.
Why?
You won’t need to have any other accounts (like Google or Apple Home, Alexa etc) and you can use the LIFX cloud to control your device from anywhere. You can still use the Matter code on the back of this manual for quick setup in our app.
Want to connect it to Google Home, Apple Home™ or Alexa later? No problems. You can add lights to a 3rd party ecosystem at any time. Just go to settings in your LIFX app to connect any other accounts

Your Wi-Fi:
Router 802.11 b/g/n WPA2 security compatible
LIFX lights connect to your 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi frequency network, which all routers can be set up for. This offers better range and stability for devices. You may also have a 5 Ghz connection, so if you’re not sure which is which, check the current Wi-Fi you’re connected to by pressing the Wi-Fi icon on your phone while connected and look at the listed details to find the frequency.
Connection troubles?
Wi-Fi waves can be interrupted by materials like concrete or mirrors. If your signal is weak, try moving your product near your router for setup as it will need a stable connection to complete. If you have lots of devices connected to your router, check the recommended amount. Some routers can handle many devices, others can only support a few.

Quick FAQS

How do I reset a light if I need to?
To take an outdoor light back to it’s original settings, unplug and replug the LIFX Connector 5 times, at a rate of about one time a second. The lights will cycle through four colors and stop on white when the reset has been successful. This is how you would remove a light from a network to then add it to a new one
I ’ve set up a new network / changed my password, how do I re-connect my lights?
If you’ve changed your Wi-Fi password or set up a new router with a new password, you’ll need to reset your lights (as above)  and reconnect them with the new Wi-Fi information and security. If you’ve moved house but your network is named the  same and has the same password, your lights are all ready to go!
