Transformer & Wiring

How To Wire:

Here’s one example of how to set up your outdoor lighting plan:

Step 1: Plug your transformer into a standard 110-volt wall outlet. It will transform the electricity down to the safe 12-volt level that your outdoor lighting runs on.
Step 2: Plug the included remote control interface into the plug and play end of your transformer.
Step 3: Plug a wire harness into the plug-and-play end of your transformer (or into the remote control interface, if you’re using one).
Step 4: Use wire harnesses and splitters to connect all of your Effuse lights to your lighting circuit. All Effuse Lighting products are compatible with each other and use the same style of plug-and-play connectors.

Notes: Run wire harnesses under your deck frame, but don’t run wires between joists and deck boards. If you use cable staples to hold wires in place, make sure the staples don’t puncture or crush your wires.

Notes (Continued): You can run wiring inside of hollow metal posts or composite post sleeves. For solid wood posts, you can drill channels for the wires or run the wiring up the outside of your post and hide it behind decorative trim(not included).

Transformer Size:

Each light requires a certain wattage to power it. You’ll need to make sure your transformer has enough watts to power all of your lights.
Add up the total wattage of all your lights and include an additional 10%.
You’ll need a transformer this size or larger than this to power all your lights:
(total wattage of light fixtures) x 1.1 = required wattage of transformer

Example based on diagram below:

7 post caps x 1 watt = 7 watts. 3 riser stair lights x 1.4 watts = 4.2 watts. 7 watts + 4.2 watts = 11.2 watts x 1.1 = 12.3 watts Use a transformer larger than 12.3 watts to power all of these lights.
If your transformer isn’t big enough, split your lighting plan into separate zones with one transformer powering each zone.

Remote Control Setup & Operation

The Effuse Lighting remote control is compatible with all Effuse Lighting low voltage and solar lights. Approximate range for operation is 35 feet.

Changing The Color Of Your Lights

Effuse Lighting is 5CCT – that means each fixture can emit light at 5 different color temperatures to better match the other lights inside and outside of your home.

Cycle through the five color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K) using your Remote Control.

WARNING:

1. The remote control included utilizes a 3V CR2025 battery: only replace with the same battery type.
2. Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of used batteries according to local regulations, and keep away from children. Do NOT dispose of batteries in household trash or incinerate.
3. Even used batteries may cause severe injury or death.
4. The remote control contains a button battery. If swallowed, it could cause severe injury or death in just 2 hours. If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, immediately seek urgent medical assistance.
5. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
6. Do not force discharge, recharge, disassemble, heat above 140°F / 60°C or incinerate. Doing so may result in injury due to venting, leakage or explosion resulting in chemical burns.
7. Ensure the batteries are installed correctly according to polarity (+ and -).
8. Do not mix old and new batteries, different brands or types of batteries, such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or rechargeable batteries.
9. Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of batteries from equipment not used for an extended period of time according to local regulations.
10. Always completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep them away from children.

Post Cap Lights

How To Install:

Step 1: Make sure the wire harness can extend at least 8 inches out the top of the post
Leaving enough slack in the wiring ensures your plug-and-play connection won’t get pulled loose.

Step 2: Plug post cap into wire harness

Step 3: Test that your light turns on

Step 4: Use silicone adhesive and the included screw (if provided) to attach post cap to post

Side-Mount Post Lights

How To Install:

Step 1: Drill 5/8-inch hole in post and run wire harness out

If you have post sleeves over wood posts, you’ll need to drill through the post sleeve and the wood post.

Step 2: Plug wire harness into the inside of side-mount post light

Detach the inside of the post light from the outside housing. Plug it in and test that your light turns on.

Step 3: Use mounting screws to mount inside of light to post or post sleeve

Step 4: Slide post light housing onto inside of post light

Stair Riser Lights

How To Install:

Step 1: Mark light location on riser board

Typically, mounting your light about 4 inches above your stair tread will provide the best light.

It’s not ideal to install riser lights directly over a stair stringer board, but it’s still doable. The holes will just take a little more effort to drill.

Step 2: Drill a hole in riser board

Use a 7/8-inch Forester Bit to drill a hole at your marked location.

Step 3: Plug riser light into wire harness

Step 4: Test that your light turns on

Step 5: Slide riser light into hole and tap gently into place
