Armacost Lighting TriVue™ LED Puck Light
Architectural quality, component-based LED lighting system.
Practical configuration, easy to install
TriVue LED Puck Lights offer versatility, allowing for surface-mounted or sleek recessed installations. Each fixture features high-quality all-metal construction and comes prewired with a 36-inch color-coded power lead for straightforward direct wire connections. Being low-voltage safe, cables can be cut or extended to suit any installation requirement. These lights can be installed individually, linked together, or combined with Armacost LED tape lighting within the same circuit. The number of lights that can be installed is limited only by the output rating of the power supply.
Bright and highly efficient, cool to the touch: LEDs emit minimal heat, preventing overheating in enclosed spaces. Integrated diffusers soften the light and reduce glare on adjacent surfaces. High-quality, energy-efficient LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours and require a 12-volt DC power supply (sold separately) with sufficient wattage for the application.
Fully dimmable: Experience smooth, soft-start, and fade-to-dark professional dimming with any standard in-wall AC dimmer when TriVue Puck Lights are used with Armacost Lighting's Universal Dimming LED Drivers. TriVue Puck Lights are also compatible with Armacost Lighting's line of 12-volt dimmers. Wireless dimming controls offer the convenience of eliminating the need to run wires from the LED lighting to the remote dimmer location, which is particularly useful in situations where installing new cabling is difficult. Visit armacostlighting.com/dimming to learn more about dimming options.
A 12-volt DC power supply is required. Each LED cabinet down light consumes approximately 3.2 watts. Select a power supply with an adequate rating based on the number of installed lights.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION: For use only with a low voltage 12-volt DC power source. Do not connect to 120V AC current. For dry locations only. Disconnect all power before installing.
Wire runs inside walls must comply with national and local electrical codes, classified as a low voltage Class 2 circuit. Use properly certified CL2 or better cabling. Avoid running low-voltage wiring in the same wire run as AC power. If AC and low-voltage wires must cross, maintain a 90-degree angle. If unsure about installation or wiring, consult a qualified electrician.
- Use only insulated staples, plastic ties, or clips to secure wires.
- Route and secure wires to prevent pinching or damage.
- Failure to observe polarity or shorting of wires may damage the LED lights.
Works with other Armacost component-based lighting
Lights can be linked together or combined in the same 12-volt low voltage circuit with other Armacost lighting products, including white RibbonFlex Pro® LED tape lighting and 1-watt mini lights.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
First, remove the trim ring by grasping it and firmly pushing on the back side of the LED light.
Flush mount
Cut a 2-1/2 inch diameter hole at the desired location and insert the light. Tension clips will hold the light in place. No trim ring is required.
Surface mount
Keeping the power cable threaded through the trim ring, install the ring using the supplied screws. Insert the light into the trim ring until secure.
Typical connection
Connect LED lights to the low voltage output of your 12-volt DC power supply, ensuring correct polarity (red (+) to red, black (-) to black). Splice and extend power lead cables as needed. For RV and boat applications, power the lighting directly from a 12-volt battery.
Ensure the 12-volt DC power supply has sufficient wattage to power the total number of connected LED lights. At 100% brightness, each LED light uses approximately 3.24 watts or 0.27 amps.
Planning for a dimmer
Use only Armacost Lighting LED dimmers or an Armacost AC dimmable LED power supply with a compatible Lutron® or similar style in-wall AC dimmer. Visit armacostlighting.com/dimming for information on compatible dimmers.
For large, multi-LED installations, be aware of potential voltage drop. To minimize voltage drop and maintain brightness, use shorter wire lengths and thicker gauge wire. Avoid coiling wires. An online voltage drop calculator is available at armacostlighting.com/voltagedrop.
