This recessed uplighter is designed for deck mount installation in outdoor environments such as driveways and decking. Professional installation is highly recommended.

1. Preparation: Ensure the power supply is switched off at the mains. Choose a suitable location for installation, considering the product dimensions (10.5 x 10.5 x 15 cm).

3. Wiring: Connect the mains electrical supply to the light fixture's terminals. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. Use appropriate outdoor-rated cabling and connectors.
4. Sealing: Apply a suitable waterproof sealant around the edges of the fixture where it meets the mounting surface to prevent water ingress. This step is critical for maintaining the IP65 rating and preventing water damage.
