WARNING:

 Luminaires must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes. 

Failure to do so will void the warranty and may result in serious injury and/or damage to the luminaire.

SAFETY WARNING:

 Luminaire can become very hot depending on lamp wattage used. Lens and metal around 

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.

LUMINAIRES ARE NOT TO BE INSTALLED WITHIN 10 FT. (3.05M) OF A POOL OR SPA. SECONDARY CABLE IS NOT TO 

BE BURIED MORE THAN 6”. WHEN USING MULTIPLE LUMINAIRES, LOAD IS NOT TO EXCEED THE TOTAL WATTS OF 

TRANSFORMER RATING. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS ON POWER UNITS.

NOTE:

 Always use UL recognized wire connectors for connections.

NOTE:

 Save these instructions for future reference.

LUMINAIRE IS UL LISTED FOR ABOVE GROUND INSTALLATION ONLY.

LUMINAIRE MOUNTING:

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 can not accumulate for long periods of time.

1. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect transformer from electrical supply before installation or service.

2. Dig hole approximately 10” diameter by 8” deep. This allows approximately 3” of pea gravel or sand to surround the       

    luminaire housing. 

3. Strip the (2) leads from the luminaire pigtail wire. Using the two (2) silicone filled safety connectors (provided), connect the      

    leads from the luminaire to the main supply cable leads.

    NOTE: 

Luminaires are supplied with 36” of 18-2 cable pigtail for secure connection to the main supply cable. The wire is to  

               be protected by routing in close proximity to the luminaire. The wiring shall be buried a maximum of 6 inches 

              (15.2 cm) in order to connect to the main supply cable.   

4. Install luminaire in hole and backfill hole after installation with pea gravel or sand.

5. Provide power to luminaire and check for proper operation.
