Specifications

Installation (Setup)

Before installation, ensure your low-voltage transformer is unplugged and turned off. Plan the placement of your flood lights to achieve desired illumination.

1. Prepare the Location: Choose a suitable location in your garden or landscape. Ensure the area is clear of debris and that the ground stake can be firmly inserted into the soil.
2. Attach Ground Stake: Securely attach the ground stake to the bottom of the flood light fixture.
3. Position the Fixture: Insert the ground stake into the desired location in the soil. Adjust the angle of the flood light to illuminate the target area (e.g., a tree, shrub, or architectural feature).
4. Connect to Low-Voltage Cable:
   • Locate the low-voltage main cable in your landscape lighting system.
   • Open the low-voltage connector attached to the flood light's cable.
   • Carefully position the main low-voltage cable within the connector, ensuring the two metal prongs pierce the insulation to make contact with the copper wires inside.
   • Close the connector firmly until it locks, creating a secure and waterproof connection.
5. Secure Excess Cable: Bury any excess cable or secure it discreetly to prevent tripping hazards and maintain a tidy appearance.

Operation

Once installed and connected to a compatible low-voltage transformer, the flood light will operate according to the transformer's settings. Most low-voltage transformers feature a timer or photocell for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation.

• Power On: Plug in your low-voltage transformer and turn on its power switch.
• Adjust Settings: Refer to your low-voltage transformer's manual for instructions on setting timers or photocell functions to control when your flood light turns on and off.
• Manual Control: If your transformer has a manual override, you can turn the lights on or off as needed.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the glass lens and fixture body with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Bulb Replacement:
  1. Disconnect power to the fixture at the transformer.
  2. Carefully unscrew the front housing or cover to access the bulb.
  3. Remove the old 20-Watt Bi-Pin halogen bulb.
  4. Insert a new 20-Watt Bi-Pin halogen bulb, ensuring it is seated correctly. Avoid touching the new bulb with bare hands, as oils can reduce bulb life. Use a clean cloth or gloves.
  5. Reattach the housing or cover, ensuring a tight, waterproof seal.
  6. Restore power to the transformer.
• Inspect Wiring: Annually inspect the low-voltage wiring and connectors for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Repair or replace as necessary.
