1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing SUNVIE Low Voltage Landscape Well Lights. These 12W LED in-ground lights are designed to provide ultra-bright, warm white illumination for various outdoor settings such as pathways, gardens, driveways, decks, and patios. Featuring IP67 waterproof construction and premium components, these lights offer durability and energy efficiency for long-lasting performance.
2. Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or other hazards.
- Low Voltage System: These lights operate on 12-24V AC/DC. A transformer (not included) is required to convert 110V household current to low voltage.
- Professional Installation: If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified electrician.
- Waterproof Rating: The lights are IP67 rated for outdoor use. Ensure all connections are secure and waterproof to maintain this rating.
- Cable Protection: Bury cables at a safe depth (typically 6 inches or more) to prevent damage from gardening tools or foot traffic.

5. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your SUNVIE Low Voltage Landscape Well Lights:
- Plan Layout: Determine the desired locations for each well light along your pathway, garden, or other areas. Ensure the total wattage does not exceed your transformer's capacity.
- Dig Trench: Dig a trench approximately 5-6 inches deep along the planned path for the low voltage cable.
- Install Low Voltage Transformer: Connect your low voltage transformer (not included) to a 110V power source. Ensure the transformer is rated for outdoor use and is compatible with 12-24V output.
- Connect Lights: Use the provided screw-tight fastlock connectors to connect each well light to the low voltage cable.
Connector System Instructions:
The SUNVIE fastlock connectors simplify wiring. Here's how to use them:
- Separate the main low voltage cable where you intend to connect a light.
- Unscrew both ends of a fastlock connector.
- Insert the main cable into the groove cap of the connector.
- Push the exposed wires from the well light through the cap hole.
- Align the light's wires with the main cable inside the connector.
- Screw the connector ends tightly. The internal pins will pierce the cable insulation to make a secure electrical connection.
- Perform a pull test to ensure the connection is secure.

- Bury Lights: Place the well lights into the ground at your desired locations. Ensure the top surface is flush with the ground for optimal appearance and protection.
- Cover Wiring: Carefully cover the low voltage cable and connectors with the excavated soil, ensuring no wires are exposed.
- Test System: Once all lights are connected and buried, turn on your low voltage transformer to test the entire lighting system.
6. Operation
Operating your SUNVIE Low Voltage Landscape Well Lights is straightforward:
- Power On/Off: The lights are controlled by your low voltage transformer. Use the transformer's built-in timer or manual switch to turn the lights on or off.
- Remote Control: If your transformer or lighting system includes a remote control feature (as indicated in some specifications), refer to your transformer's manual for specific remote operation instructions.
7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your well lights, perform the following maintenance tasks:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the top surface of the lights to remove dirt, debris, or leaves that may obstruct light output. Use a soft cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- Inspect Connections: Annually inspect all wire connections for any signs of corrosion or damage. Ensure they remain tightly sealed.
- Check for Obstructions: Ensure plants or other landscaping elements do not grow over the lights, which could reduce light output or cause overheating.
- Drainage: Verify that the area around the lights has proper drainage to prevent standing water, despite their waterproof rating.
8. Troubleshooting
If your SUNVIE Low Voltage Landscape Well Lights are not functioning correctly, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights not turning on | No power to transformer; faulty transformer; loose wire connections; damaged cable. | Check power outlet and transformer settings. Inspect all wire connections for tightness. Test cable continuity. |
| Lights flickering | Loose connections; insufficient power from transformer; incompatible transformer. | Tighten all connections. Ensure transformer wattage is sufficient for all connected lights. Verify transformer compatibility. |
| Only some lights are working | Loose connection to non-working lights; damaged individual light. | Check connections for the non-working lights. Replace individual faulty light if necessary. |
| Water inside light lens | Improper sealing during installation; damage to waterproof seals. | Ensure all seals are correctly seated and tightened. Contact support if seals appear damaged. |
