BEFORE INSTALLATION:
This is a low voltage fixture for use with maximum of 25A, 15V power units. A remote transformer is required. The
main cable from the power units should be buried for no less than 6 inches under the ground level and can be
purchased from Evergreen Outdoor a Division of Orbit Industries, Inc.
PRECAUTION:
Luminaire is not submersible and adequate drainage must be provided during installation. It is
recommended that the luminaire be surrounded by 3” to 4” of pea gravel or sand to assure proper drainage. Top of
luminaire must be above grade so rain and irrigation water cannot accumulate for long period of time.
1. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect transformer
from electrical supply before installation or service.
2. With a screwdriver, loosen terminal screws located
on the back of the PAR-36 lamp.
3. Connect leads to lampholder and tighten screws.
4. Coat screws with silicone grease.
5. Snap-in the lamp into gimbel holder.
6. Dig hole approximately 9” diameter by 11” deep.
This allows approximately 3” of pea gravel or sand
to surround the PVC sleeve.
NOTE:
PVC sleeve is reversible. Straight cut end allows at least 1”
above to put optional cover S530 or 53L Louver (sold separately).
Angle cut end requires the top three (3) inches to be installed
above ground for vertical aiming.

7.
Place luminaire with support bracket inside PVC sleeve and adjust angle with adjusting screw on side of support

8. Run wire pigtail through bottom of PVC sleeve and strip the two (2) leads from the luminaire wire. Using
CO-3 connector (provided) or two (2) silicone filled safety connectors (not provided), connect the leads
from the luminaire to the main supply cable leads.
WARNING:
All work must be performed by qualified electrician. Luminaire must be installed and grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes. For portable stake or surface mount
using a cord and plug, the luminaire must be plugged into a receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). Failure to do so may result in serious injury and/or damage to the luminaire.
WARNING:
Debris must be kept clear from top and interior of in-grade fixtures. Excessive heat could occur that
may create a fire hazard and/or harm the fixtures components. Specific attention must be made to never
install in-grade fixture in mulch, wood chips or other potentially ignitable materials. For installation in potentially
ignitable materials, such as mulch and wood chips, installer must use an above-grade mounted fixtures. Failure
to do so will void the warranty and may result in serious injury and/or damage the fixture and/or property.

around the lamp can become hot enough to blister hands. Particular care should be taken not to locate
luminaires where small children can reach them if high wattage lamps are used.
NOTE:
Luminaires are not to be installed within 10 ft. (3.05m) of pool or spa. Secondary cable is not to be buried
