- Step 2: Thread the cable through the fixture loop and around the desired mounting surface. Insert both cable ends into the lock mechanism.
- Step 3: Run the wire down the structure and secure with cable ties.
- Step 4: Use a voltmeter to ensure 11 to 15V at the fixture.
- Step 5: Connect wiring with a waterproof connector.
(Note: Installation instructions are available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, and Russian.)
Circuiting Guidelines
Transformer Usage
Single Transformer: When using one transformer, center it on the wattage load. Minimize all cable runs to reduce voltage drop.
Multiple Transformers: When using multiple transformers, spread the load evenly across all transformers. Avoid voltage drop by installing the transformers as close to the fixtures as possible.

| 10 AWG (6.0 mm²) | < 180 W | 0-40' (0-13 m) |
| 12 AWG (4.0 mm²) | < 120 W | 40-80' (13-25 m) |
| 10 AWG (6.0 mm²) | < 140 W | 40-80' (13-25 m) |
| 12 AWG (4.0 mm²) | < 100 W | 80-120' (25-40 m) |
| 10 AWG (6.0 mm²) | < 120 W | 80-120' (25-40 m) |
| 12 AWG (4.0 mm²) | < 60 W | 120-160' (37-50 m) |

⚠️ 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 (✅UL379).
- 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 Requirements:
- 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.
