3. Setup & Installation
This fixture is designed for surface mounting on a flat surface, such as a 4x4 post or deck railing. A 12V AC/DC landscape lighting transformer (sold separately) is required.
3.1 Tools Required (Not Included)
- Drill
- Drill bits appropriate for mounting surface and wire passage
- Screwdriver
- Wire strippers
- Voltage tester
3.2 Installation Steps
- Disconnect Power: Ensure the power supply to the landscape lighting system is turned off at the main breaker or transformer.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Select a suitable location for the light. The fixture is designed to fit cleanly on a 4x4 post without hanging off the sides. Mark the desired mounting points for the screws from the hardware pack.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws. If routing the wire through the mounting surface, drill an additional hole for the lead wire.
- Mount the Fixture: Secure the light fixture to the mounting surface using the provided hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Connect Wiring:
- Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the fixture's lead wire and the main low voltage landscape wire.
- Twist the exposed copper wires together (one from the fixture to one from the main wire).
- Secure each connection with a gel-filled direct burial wire nut. Twist the wire nut clockwise until tight. The gel inside the nut will seal the connection, protecting it from moisture.
- Bury the wire connections underground or ensure they are otherwise protected and concealed.
- Connect to Transformer: Connect the main low voltage landscape wire to your 12V AC/DC landscape lighting transformer (sold separately). Refer to your transformer's manual for specific connection instructions.
- Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and properly insulated, restore power to the landscape lighting system.
