Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your tree ring lights:

1. Plan Placement: Determine the desired location for each light around your trees. The lights are designed to encircle tree trunks for uplighting effects.
2. Prepare Power Supply: A 120V-to-12-24V low voltage transformer (not included) is required. Ensure the transformer's capacity is sufficient for the total wattage of all connected lights (each light is 11W).
3. Lay Out Wiring: Use appropriate gauge low voltage landscape wire (12AWG, 14AWG, 16AWG, or 18AWG, not included) to connect the lights to the transformer. Run the main power cord from the transformer to the first fixture, then to subsequent fixtures.
4. Connect Lights: Connect the light fixtures to the main power cord using the provided wire nuts and connectors. Ensure all connections are tight and waterproof. Note: Waterproof connectors offer excellent sealing; handle carefully to prevent damage during installation.
5. Secure Fixtures: Insert the included stakes into the ground to secure each light fixture around the base of the tree.
6. Expandable Design: You can link multiple lights to achieve wider coverage. The system supports connecting up to 12 lights.

Operating Instructions

Your LEONLITE tree ring lights feature 5 selectable color temperatures to customize your outdoor ambiance:

1. Power On: Once installed and connected to a compatible low voltage power supply, turn on the power to illuminate the lights.
2. Select Color Temperature: The lights offer 5 CCT options: 1800K (Sunset Glow), 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K. Refer to the product's specific control method (e.g., a switch on the fixture or an external controller, if applicable) to cycle through these options.
3. Adjust Ambiance: Choose the color temperature that best suits your desired mood or seasonal aesthetic.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LEONLITE tree ring lights:

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the light fixtures with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspect Connections: Annually inspect all wire connections and connectors for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Re-secure or replace as needed.
• Check for Damage: Regularly check the aluminum housing and lenses for any physical damage. Replace damaged components promptly.
• Water Drainage: The design includes a water outlet to prevent accumulation. Ensure this outlet remains clear of obstructions.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LEONLITE tree ring lights, refer to the following common solutions:

Lights Not Illuminating:

• Check Power: Ensure the transformer is receiving power and is turned on.
• Verify Connections: Inspect all wire connections from the transformer to each light fixture. Ensure they are secure and properly sealed.
• Transformer Capacity: Confirm that the total wattage of connected lights does not exceed 80% of the transformer's rated capacity.
• Bulb/LED Check: While LEDs are long-lasting, check if individual light beads appear damaged.

Inconsistent Brightness or Flickering:

• Voltage Drop: Ensure the main power cord gauge is appropriate for the length of the run and the total wattage. Longer runs or thinner wires can cause voltage drop.
• Loose Connections: Re-check all wire connections for tightness.

Lights Not Changing Color Temperature:

• Control Method: Ensure you are using the correct method to change the CCT (e.g., internal switch, external controller).
• Compatibility: Note that these tree ring lights are not compatible with previous 3000K Warm White versions and cannot be linked with them.
