3. Setup and Installation
This LED up light is designed for low-voltage landscape lighting systems. Professional installation is recommended.
3.1 Safety Precautions
- Always disconnect power to the transformer before installing or servicing the fixture.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure and protected from moisture.
- Do not exceed the maximum wattage rating of your low-voltage transformer.
- Install the fixture in a location where it will not be submerged in water.
3.2 Installation Steps
- Determine the desired location for the up light. Ensure adequate drainage and clearance from flammable materials.
- Attach the Super Slot Spike to the base of the light fixture.
- Carefully push the spike into the ground until the fixture is stable and at the desired height.
- Run the low-voltage cable from your transformer to the fixture. Bury the cable at a safe depth, typically 6-12 inches, or secure it along a path where it won't be damaged.
- Connect the fixture's wires to the main low-voltage cable using appropriate waterproof connectors (not included, typically supplied with the transformer or purchased separately). Ensure polarity is correct if specified by your transformer or system.
- Adjust the angle of the light fixture to achieve the desired illumination effect.
- Once all connections are made and secured, restore power to the transformer.
4. Operating Instructions
The FX NP-6LED-BZ LED Up Light operates as part of a low-voltage landscape lighting system. Once properly installed and connected to a compatible low-voltage transformer, the light will illuminate when power is supplied by the transformer.
- Manual Operation: If your transformer has a manual on/off switch, you can turn the lights on and off as needed.
- Automatic Operation: For automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, connect your lighting system to a transformer equipped with a photocell or timer. Refer to your transformer's manual for specific programming instructions.
- Adjusting Light Angle: The fixture's head can be adjusted to direct the light beam. Loosen the adjustment screw, position the light, and then tighten the screw to secure the angle.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LED up light.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens and exterior of the fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or lens.
- Inspect Wiring: Annually inspect all wiring and connections for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Repair or replace any damaged components immediately.
- Check Stability: Ensure the fixture remains securely staked in the ground. Re-stake if it becomes loose due to soil erosion or other factors.
- LED Longevity: The integrated LED board is designed for long life and does not require bulb replacement. If the LED fails, the entire fixture may need to be replaced.
6. Troubleshooting
If your FX NP-6LED-BZ LED Up Light is not functioning correctly, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power from transformer. Loose or faulty wiring connection. Faulty LED board. | Check transformer power supply and circuit breaker. Inspect and secure all wire connections, especially at the fixture and transformer. If all connections are good, the LED board may be faulty; contact support. |
| Light is dim or flickers. | Voltage drop due to long wire run or too many fixtures. Corroded connections. Dirt or debris on lens. | Consult a professional to assess voltage drop and potentially upgrade wire gauge or transformer. Clean and secure all connections. Clean the fixture lens. |
| Water inside fixture lens. | Improper sealing or damage to fixture. | Disconnect power, allow to dry, and inspect for cracks or loose seals. If damaged, replacement may be necessary. |
