4.2 Wiring
Connect the low voltage wires from the hardscape lights to a compatible 12-24V AC/DC landscape lighting transformer (not included). Use the provided waterproof wire nuts for secure and weather-resistant connections.
Wiring can be done in various configurations:
- Daisy Chain: Fixtures connected in series.
- T-Method: Transformer connects to a fixture in the middle.
- Hub Method: Each fixture connects to a central hub.
Figure 5: Wiring Configurations
Ensure the transformer's wattage capacity is sufficient for the total wattage of all connected lights. Each fixture has a maximum wattage of 5W (selectable). For example, if using 8 lights at 5W each, a transformer with a minimum rating of 40 watts (at least 80% of the transformer's capacity for the load) is recommended.

4.3 Wattage Selection
The lights feature a 3-wattage selectable switch (3W, 4W, 5W) to customize brightness. This switch is accessible during installation, allowing you to set the desired light output for your specific application.
