Setup and Installation
Important: A low-voltage transformer and low-voltage wires are required for operation and are not included in this package.
1. Connecting the Wires
Follow these steps to connect the landscape light to your low-voltage wiring system using the provided connectors:
- Carefully divide the power cable of your low-voltage system into two halves.
- Insert one half of the power cable into the large cap of the connector.
- Screw the pin part of the connector into the large cap to pierce the power cable.
- Insert the light wire (from the MEIKEE unit) through the small cap of the connector.
- Screw the small cap into the joint of the connector.
- Gently pull on the wires to ensure they are securely connected and do not come out.

2. Installation Methods
The MEIKEE landscape light offers two primary installation options:
Ground Inserted Installation
- Attach the ground spike to the base of the light unit.
- Insert the assembled light unit firmly into the desired location in the ground.
- Adjust the angle of the lamp head to direct the light as needed.
- Connect to power and turn on the light.
Wall Mounted Installation
- Fix the holder of the light unit to the desired wall surface.
- Punch holes in the wall at the marked positions.
- Secure the light unit using the provided screws.
- Connect to power and turn on the light.

Operating Instructions
Once installed and connected to a compatible low-voltage power source, the MEIKEE landscape light operates automatically based on the power supply. There are no manual controls on the unit itself.
- Adjusting Light Angle: The lamp head can be rotated up to 270° vertically to direct the light beam precisely where needed. Loosen the adjustment knob on the side of the lamp head, position the light, and then tighten the knob to secure it.
- Light Output: The unit provides a consistent 800 lumens of 2700K warm white light when powered.

Maintenance
The MEIKEE landscape light is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and LED technology.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate and obstruct light output. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Weather Resistance: The IP66 waterproof rating ensures protection against dust and powerful water jets. The unit is also designed to be heat and frost resistant, operating effectively in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 40°C.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cables and connectors for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure all connections remain secure.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MEIKEE landscape light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power to the unit. Loose or incorrect wiring connection. Faulty transformer. | Ensure the low-voltage transformer is powered on and functioning. Check all wire connections for tightness and correct polarity. Test the transformer with another low-voltage device if possible. |
| Light flickers or is dim. | Insufficient power. Loose connection. Voltage drop over long wire runs. | Verify the transformer output matches the light's requirements. Inspect and secure all wire connections. Consider using thicker gauge wire for longer runs or reducing the number of lights on the circuit. |
| Water inside the light housing. | Improper sealing during manufacturing (rare). Damage to the housing or lens. | While the product is IP66 rated, if water ingress occurs, discontinue use and contact customer support for assistance. |
