2. Safety Information

• Low Voltage System: This product operates on a 12V low voltage system. It requires a remote 12V transformer (not included) for operation. Do not connect directly to high voltage power.

• Water and Moisture: Ensure all connections are properly sealed and protected from moisture. The fixture includes a silicone gasket for the lens, but external connections require additional protection.
• Bulb Handling: Allow the bulb to cool completely before attempting to replace it. Avoid touching halogen bulbs with bare hands, as oils can reduce bulb life.
• Grounding: Ensure proper grounding according to local electrical codes.
• Heat: The fixture and bulb can become hot during operation. Avoid touching the light when it is on or immediately after it has been turned off.

4. Setup and Installation

1. Plan Placement: Determine the desired location for your light fixture. Ensure the location allows for proper cable routing to your 12V transformer.

3. Mount Fixture: Attach the light fixture to the ground spike. The adjustable knuckle allows for initial positioning.
4. Wiring Connections:
   • Ensure the 12V transformer is unplugged from the power source.
   • Route the pre-wired 3-foot cable from the fixture to the main low voltage cable connected to your transformer.
   • Using a suitable low voltage wire connector (e.g., Corona Lighting CX839), securely connect the fixture's cable to the main low voltage cable. Ensure all connections are tight and protected from moisture.
   • Bury the cable for direct burial, ensuring it is protected from damage.
5. Insert Bulb: The fixture comes with a 20W MR16 bulb. If replacing, carefully insert the MR16 bulb into the socket. Do not exceed the maximum 50W rating.
6. Adjust Direction: Once wired, plug in the 12V transformer. Adjust the light direction using the adjustable knuckle and the 360-degree rotatable shroud to achieve the desired illumination angle.

5. Operating Instructions

• Power On/Off: The light fixture is controlled by the connected 12V transformer. Turn the transformer on or off to power the light. If your transformer has a timer or remote control, operate the light according to the transformer's instructions.
• Adjusting Light Direction: The fixture features an adjustable knuckle and a 360-degree rotatable shroud. Loosen the knuckle to adjust the vertical angle of the light. Rotate the shroud to adjust the horizontal direction. Tighten the knuckle once the desired position is achieved.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the tempered glass lens and the fixture's exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or lens.
• Bulb Replacement:
  1. Ensure the power to the fixture is off and the bulb has cooled completely.
  2. Carefully remove the shroud and access the MR16 bulb.
  3. Gently pull the old MR16 bulb straight out from its socket.
  4. Insert a new MR16 halogen bulb (maximum 50W) into the socket. Avoid touching the glass of the new bulb with bare hands.
  5. Reattach the shroud, ensuring the silicone gasket is properly seated to maintain moisture resistance.
