3.2 Wiring the Spot Lights to the Transformer

The transformer provides two 12V AC output channels. Connect your landscape lights to these terminals.

  1. Hardloop laag voltage landscape wire (not included) from the transformer to the desired locations of your spot lights.
  2. Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the landscape wire and the pre-wired leads of each spot light.
  3. Connect the spot light wires to the landscape wire using the provided waterproof wire connectors. Ensure a tight and secure connection.
  4. Connect the main landscape wire runs to the 12V AC output terminals on the transformer. Each terminal pair consists of a 'COM' (common) and a '12V' terminal. Ensure wires are securely fastened under the terminal screws.
  5. Verify all connections are correct and secure before plugging the transformer into a 120V AC outlet.

3.3 Spot Light Placement and Installation

The 9W LED spot lights are designed for ground installation using the included sturdy aluminum spikes.

  1. Choose desired locations for your spot lights. Ensure the location allows for proper illumination and wire routing.
  2. Carefully push the aluminum spike into the ground until it is stable. Avoid forcing the spike into hard or rocky soil to prevent damage.
  3. Attach the spot light fixture to the spike.
  4. Adjust the angle of the spot light using the adjustable knuckle to direct illumination as desired.
  5. Bury or conceal the low voltage wiring to protect it from damage and for a cleaner aesthetic.
