5. Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure the power to your low-voltage landscape lighting system's transformer is turned OFF at the main circuit breaker.

5.1 Planning Your Layout

Determine the desired locations for your path lights. For optimal illumination, space lights evenly along pathways or in garden beds. Consider the spread of light (187 lumens) to avoid dark spots.

5.2 Wiring and Trenching

1. Lay out your low-voltage cable from the transformer to the desired light locations.
2. Dig a shallow trench (typically 6-12 inches deep) along the path where the cable will be buried. Ensure the trench is clear of sharp objects that could damage the cable.
3. Run the low-voltage cable through the trench. Leave enough slack at each light location for connections.

5.3 Fixture Assembly and Connection

1. Attach the ground stake firmly to the bottom of the Llena LED Path Light fixture.
2. At each desired location, push the ground stake firmly into the soil until the fixture is stable and upright. Ensure the light is positioned to cast light effectively on the path.
3. Carefully strip a small portion of insulation from the low-voltage cable at the connection point.
4. Connect the fixture's wires to the main low-voltage cable using appropriate waterproof wire connectors (e.g., silicone-filled wire nuts or crimp connectors). Ensure a secure and watertight connection.
5. Bury the connected wires and the main cable in the trench, ensuring no wires are exposed.

5.4 Connecting to Transformer

Connect the main low-voltage cable to your landscape lighting transformer's 12V terminals. Refer to your transformer's instruction manual for specific wiring details. Once all connections are secure and buried, you may restore power to the transformer.

6. Operating Instructions

The Kichler Llena LED Path Light is designed to operate as part of a low-voltage landscape lighting system controlled by a transformer. The "App" control method mentioned in specifications typically refers to smart transformers or smart home systems that can control the power to the entire low-voltage circuit.

• Power On/Off: The light will turn on when power is supplied to the low-voltage circuit from your landscape lighting transformer. This is typically controlled by a timer, photocell, or manual switch on the transformer.
• App Control: If your landscape lighting transformer or system supports app control, you can manage the on/off schedule and potentially other features (if available for your specific transformer) through the associated mobile application. Refer to your transformer's manual for app setup and usage.
• Integrated LED: The LED light source is integrated and not user-replaceable. It is designed for long-term performance.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Kichler Llena LED Path Light.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or cleaners containing alcohol, as these can damage the finish or LED components.
• Inspect Wiring: Annually inspect all wiring and connections for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure all connections remain secure and watertight.
• Fixture Stability: Check that the fixture remains firmly staked in the ground. Re-secure if it becomes loose.
• Debris Removal: Keep the light fixture clear of leaves, dirt, and other debris that could obstruct light output or cause overheating.

Always disconnect power to the landscape lighting system at the transformer before performing any maintenance.
