5. Setup and Installation
5.1 Tools and Materials (Not Included)
- Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Transformer
- Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Cable (e.g., 12-gauge or 14-gauge)
- Wire Connectors (waterproof recommended)
- Wire Strippers
- Shovel or Trowel (for digging shallow trenches)
5.2 Installation Steps
- Plan Layout: Determine the desired locations for each pathway light. Consider spacing for optimal illumination (recommended spacing is approximately 4.9 feet between lights for even coverage).
This illustration shows the typical setup for a low voltage landscape lighting system, including the transformer, main wire, and recommended light spacing.
- Assemble Lights: Attach the ground stake firmly to the bottom of each pathway light. Ensure it is securely fastened.
The pathway light measures approximately 15 inches (381mm) in height, with a 6.22 inch (158mm) ground stake for secure placement in the ground.
- Prepare Wiring: Lay out your low voltage landscape lighting cable along the planned path. Dig a shallow trench (1-2 inches deep) to bury the cable for safety and aesthetics.
- Connect Lights: At each light location, carefully strip the insulation from the main landscape cable and the wires from the pathway light. Use waterproof wire connectors to securely connect the light's wires to the main cable. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- Position Lights: Insert the ground stake of each light into the ground at the desired location. Ensure the light is stable and upright.
- Connect to Transformer: Connect the main landscape cable to your low voltage landscape lighting transformer. Follow the transformer's instructions for proper connection.
- Test System: Plug in the transformer and turn on the power to test all lights. If any light does not illuminate, check the connections.
- Bury Cable: Once all lights are working correctly, bury the landscape cable in the prepared trench and cover it with soil.

6. Operating Instructions
The LEONLITE Low Voltage Landscape Pathway Lights are designed for simple operation once installed.
- Power On/Off: The lights are controlled by the connected low voltage transformer. Use the transformer's timer or switch to turn the lights on or off.
- Automatic Operation: Many low voltage transformers include a photocell or timer function for automatic dusk-to-dawn or scheduled operation. Refer to your specific transformer's manual for detailed settings and programming.
7. Maintenance
These LED pathway lights require minimal maintenance due to their durable construction and long-lasting LEDs. Regular checks will ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the light fixtures with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspect Wiring: Annually inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of damage, fraying, or corrosion. Repair or replace damaged components as necessary to maintain electrical integrity.
- Clear Debris: Ensure that plants, leaves, or other debris do not obstruct the light output or accumulate around the fixture. Obstructions can affect performance and potentially lead to overheating.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pathway lights, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power to transformer; Loose wire connections; Faulty transformer; Damaged light fixture. | Check power outlet and transformer; Verify all wire connections are secure and properly insulated; Test transformer output with a multimeter; Inspect light for visible damage and replace if necessary. |
| Lights flicker or are dim. | Insufficient power from transformer; Loose connections; Too many lights on one circuit; Voltage drop over long cable runs. | Ensure transformer capacity matches total wattage of lights; Tighten all wire connections; Reduce number of lights per circuit or use a larger gauge cable for longer runs. |
| Water inside fixture. | Improper sealing during manufacturing (rare); Damage to fixture housing from impact or wear. | If a manufacturing defect is suspected, contact customer support for replacement. If damaged, replace the affected fixture to prevent electrical hazards. |
