5. Setup and Installation

This spotlight is designed for permanent wiring. Ensure all safety precautions are followed before beginning installation.

5.1 Wiring Instructions

The light comes with a 30cm (11.8 inch) cable for direct wiring. It requires an AC 85-265V power source.

  • Step 1: Turn off the main power supply to the circuit where you intend to install the light. Use a voltage tester to confirm the power is off.
  • Step 2: Identify the live, neutral, and ground wires from your power source and the light fixture. The light's cable typically has three wires: brown (Live), blue (Neutral), and green/yellow (Ground).
  • Step 3: Connect the wires using appropriate waterproof wire connectors (not included). Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent water ingress.
  • Step 4: Secure the wiring connections within a waterproof junction box (not included) to protect them from the elements.

5.2 Mounting Options

The spotlight can be mounted using its integrated ground stake or by removing the stake and using the bracket for surface mounting.

  • Ground Stake Installation: Attach the ground stake to the light fixture. Choose a suitable location in your garden or lawn. Gently push the stake into the ground until the light is securely positioned. Avoid forcing the stake into hard or rocky soil to prevent damage.
  • Surface Mounting: If desired, the ground stake can be removed. The light's bracket can then be used to screw the fixture onto a flat surface (e.g., wall, deck, tree trunk) using appropriate screws (not included).

6. Operating Instructions

Once properly wired and installed, the AUCD landscape spotlight will illuminate when power is supplied to the circuit. There are no external controls on the unit itself.

  • Beam Angle Adjustment: The light head can be tilted and rotated on its bracket to adjust the direction of the blue light beam. Loosen the side screws on the bracket, adjust the angle, and then tighten the screws to secure the position.
