Lumascape nBLZ In-Grade Luminaires

Installation, Circuiting, and Safety Guidelines

Installation Instructions

Install conduit, construction housing, and cover into ground during construction. Run wiring into construction housing.
Use a voltmeter to ensure 11 to 15 V at the luminaire.
Connect wiring with a waterproof connector.
Press luminaire into housing.
For servicing, use two flathead screwdrivers to remove luminaire from housing.

Circuiting Guidelines

Guidelines for low-voltage cable runs and wattage limits.

Distance	Voltage	Cable Gauge (12 AWG / 4.0 mm²)	Cable Gauge (10 AWG / 6.0 mm²)
0-40' (0-13 m)	15V	< 160W	< 180W
40-80' (13-25m)	15V	< 120W	< 140W
80-120' (25-40 m)	15V	< 100W	< 120W
120-160' (37-50 m)	15V	< 60W	< 100W

Transformer Guidelines

Single Transformer: Center the transformer on the wattage load. Minimize all cable runs to reduce voltage drop.

Multiple Transformers: Spread the load evenly across all transformers. Avoid voltage drop by installing the transformers as close to the luminaires as possible.

Safety Warnings

Please read and keep all safety and use instructions. For questions, contact your local agent or visit lumascape.com.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSON:

Turn off/unplug and allow to cool before replacing lamp.
Lamp gets HOT quickly. Contact only switch/plug when turning on.
Do not touch hot lens, guard, or enclosure.
Keep lamp away from materials that may burn.
Do not touch the lamp at any time. Use a soft cloth. Oil from skin may damage lamp.
Do not operate the luminaire fitting with a missing or damaged shield.

WARNING - Risk of Electric Shock

May be installed less than 5' (1.5 m) from a pool, spa, or fountain when used with a UL 379 listed transformer.
A luminaire shall not use tungsten halogen lamps unless the luminaire is marked for such lamps.
Supply connection and electrical components are located above ground level, except for secondary cord that is suitable for wet locations.

LOW-VOLTAGE CABLE SHALL:

Be protected by routing in close proximity to the luminaire or fitting, or next to a building structure such as a house or deck.
Not be buried except for a maximum 6" (152 mm) in order to connect to the main low-voltage cable.
Have the length cut off so that it is connected to a connector within 6" (152 mm) from a building structure, a luminaire, or fitting.
