4. Setup and Installation
These spotlights are designed as extensions for an existing 12V garden lighting system. Ensure your main system has sufficient capacity for additional lights.
- Choose Location: Select the desired location for each spotlight in your garden. Consider the area you wish to illuminate and the proximity to your existing 12V garden lighting cable.
- Prepare the Ground: Ensure the ground is soft enough to insert the ground spike without excessive force. If the ground is too hard, moisten it or use a small tool to create a pilot hole.
- Insert Ground Spike: Firmly push the ground spike of each spotlight into the soil until it is stable and upright. Do not use a hammer directly on the light fixture.
- Connect to System: These spotlights feature a 'plug and play' connection. Connect the cable from the spotlight to an available connector on your existing 12V garden lighting system's main cable. Ensure the connection is secure and watertight.
- Adjust Light Angle: The spotlight head is adjustable. Loosen the side screws slightly, tilt and rotate the light head to direct the beam as desired, then tighten the screws to secure its position.

5. Operation
Once properly installed and connected to your 12V garden lighting system, the Luceco LED Garden Spotlights will operate in conjunction with your main system's power control (e.g., a timer or switch). There are no individual controls on the spotlights themselves.
- Power On/Off: The spotlights will turn on and off with the main power supply to your 12V garden lighting system.
- Adjusting Illumination: If you need to change the direction of the light beam, gently loosen the screws on the side of the spotlight head, adjust the angle, and then re-tighten the screws firmly.

6. Maintenance
The Luceco LED Garden Spotlights are designed for minimal maintenance. However, regular checks can ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate and reduce light output. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the cables and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the ground spikes remain firmly in place.
- Weather Protection: While rated IP66, extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, prolonged freezing temperatures) may require temporary removal or additional protection to prolong the product's life.
