This manual provides essential information for safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your lighting system.

Important Safety Information

Please read all instructions carefully before installation and retain this manual for future reference. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or other hazards.

• Disconnect Power: Always disconnect power at the main circuit breaker or transformer before installing, servicing, or cleaning the fixture.
• Low Voltage System: This product operates on 12-24V AC/DC low voltage. A compatible landscape lighting transformer (not included) is required to convert 110V household current to the appropriate low voltage. Do not connect directly to 110V-120V power.
• Waterproof Connections: Ensure all electrical connections are properly sealed and waterproofed using appropriate connectors (not included) to prevent water ingress and electrical hazards.
• Proper Wiring: Use only approved low voltage landscape lighting cable suitable for direct burial.
• Avoid Damage: Do not install fixtures where they may be walked on by vehicles or subjected to excessive pressure. Avoid damaging the wire insulation during installation.
• Operating Temperature: Ensure the operating environment is within the specified temperature range of -4°F to 104°F (-20°C to 40°C).

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your EDISHINE Low Voltage Landscape Lights:

1. Plan Layout: Determine the desired locations for each light. Consider the 25° beam angle for optimal illumination of pathways, features, or walls.
2. Prepare Wiring: Dig shallow trenches for your low voltage landscape wiring. Ensure the wiring is suitable for direct burial and compatible with 12-24V AC/DC systems.
3. Connect to Transformer: Connect the low voltage wires from the lights to a compatible 12V or 24V landscape lighting transformer (not included). It is crucial to ensure all connections are secure and properly waterproofed using appropriate connectors (not included) to prevent moisture damage.
4. Install Lights: Place each light into its designated in-ground location. The one-piece groove design helps prevent water damage and screw rust, contributing to the light's longevity. The grille top is designed to be nearly flat for easy blending into the landscape.
5. Test System: Once all lights are installed and connected, turn on the transformer to test the entire lighting system.

Lighting System Diagram

Image Description: This diagram shows a typical low voltage landscape lighting setup. A transformer is depicted on the left, connected via a main cable to a series of four in-ground lights. The lights are shown spaced approximately 1.64 feet apart, illustrating a common installation pattern. A note indicates that the transformer and power cord are not included.

Product Dimensions

Measurements include the overall height, the diameter of the top grille (4.04 inches), the depth of the housing (3.1 inches), and the diameter of the base (2.8 inches). The image also shows the dimensions of small wire connectors (0.9 inches tall).

Operating Instructions

The EDISHINE In-Ground Well Lights operate by connecting to a low voltage landscape lighting transformer. Once the transformer is powered on, the lights will illuminate. There is no individual switch on the lights themselves. Operation is controlled directly by the transformer's power supply or any timer/sensor connected to the transformer.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your landscape lights:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the light grilles and lenses to ensure maximum light output. Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or lens.
• Connection Check: Inspect all wiring and connections regularly for any signs of damage, corrosion, or wear. Ensure all waterproof seals and connectors remain intact to prevent moisture ingress.
• Debris Removal: Keep the area around the lights clear of leaves, mulch, and other debris that could obstruct light output or hinder heat dissipation.

Durable and Waterproof Design

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EDISHINE landscape lights, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Lights Do Not Turn On:
  • Check the transformer power supply. Ensure it is plugged in and receiving power.
  • Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct. Loose connections are a common cause of power issues.
  • Ensure the voltage is within the specified 12-24V range. An incorrect voltage can prevent operation.
  • Inspect the low voltage cable for any cuts or damage.
• Lights Are Dim or Flickering:
  • Check for loose connections at the transformer and at each light fixture.
  • Ensure the transformer is adequately sized for the total wattage of all connected lights. Overloading the transformer can cause dimming.
  • Verify there is no damage to the wiring or light units.
  • Clean the light lenses and grilles to remove any dirt or debris that might be obstructing light output.
• Water Inside Fixture:
  • Immediately disconnect power.
  • Inspect all seals and connections for proper installation and integrity. Re-seal or replace any compromised components.
