4.2 Detailed Installation Steps

1. Plan Layout: Determine the desired locations for your spotlights. Consider the areas you wish to illuminate and the path for your low voltage cable.
2. Prepare Wiring: If trenching, dig a shallow trench for your main supply low voltage cable (not included). Lay the cable according to your planned layout.
3. Remove Glare Guard & Shield:
   • Unlock the lock screw on the fixture.
   • Remove the glare guard from the shield.
   • Unscrew the shield and remove it from the fixture.
4. Install MR16 LED Bulb:
   • Carefully insert the MR16 LED bulb into the socket.
   • CAUTION: Do not exceed the maximum wattage marked on the fixture label.
   • NOTE: Avoid touching the bulb with bare hands. Use a soft cloth to handle the bulb to prevent oil residue from shortening its lifespan.
5. Install Glare Guard & Shield:
   • Screw the shield back onto the fixture.
   • Pass the glare guard over the shield and secure with the lock screw. Tighten until snug.
6. Install Stake:
   • Determine the desired location for mounting the fixture.
   • Hammer the ground stake into the ground until the flange of the stake is flush with the grade.
   • To avoid damage to the stake, place a board on top of the stake while hammering.
   • NOTE: If the ground is hard or difficult to penetrate, make a crosscut in the ground using a flat shovel first.
7. Install Fixture to Stake:
   • Thread the fixture's pigtail wire through the hole in the middle of the stake.
   • Lay the luminaire pigtail into the wireway slot and screw the fixture onto the stake. Tighten until snug.
8. Wire Connections:
   • Strip both leads from the fixture pigtail.
   • Using the provided fastlock wire connectors, connect the leads from the fixture to the main low voltage supply cable. Ensure connections are secure and waterproof.
   • NOTE: Extra cable connectors may be required depending on your setup.
9. Connect to Low Voltage Transformer: Connect the main supply low voltage power cable to your low voltage transformer (not included). Follow the transformer's instructions for proper connection.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed and connected to a low voltage transformer, your Lumina Lighting spotlights are ready for use.

• Power On/Off: Control the lights via the connected low voltage transformer's power switch or timer (if applicable).
• Angle Adjustment: Each fixture features a 160-degree flexible knuckle. Loosen the adjustment screw, position the spotlight to highlight desired features (e.g., walls, trees, flags, fences), and then tighten the screw to secure the angle.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your spotlights.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the glass lens and fixture body with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Bulb Replacement: The LED bulbs have a working life of over 50,000 hours. If a bulb needs replacement, ensure the power is off, then follow the steps in Section 4.2 (Steps 3-5) to safely replace the MR16 LED bulb. Use only MR16 LED bulbs that match the wattage specified on the fixture.
• Wire Inspection: Periodically check all wire connections for tightness and signs of wear or damage. Ensure waterproof connections remain sealed.
• Corrosion Prevention: While the fixtures are made of durable aluminum with an IP65 waterproof rating, ensure proper sealing of all components and connections to prevent moisture ingress, which can lead to corrosion over time.
