INTRODUCTION
WELCOME
Welcome to the Dyna Accent Mini range from Acclaim Lighting. These compact rugged
LED-powered fixtures are designed to replace traditional external spot/flood lights while
using a fraction of the power. Featuring a die-cast aluminum body throughout with full IP66
environmental rating, these fixtures are built to last. A choice of standard gray, black or white
finishes plus special-order custom colors are available.
The Dyna Accent Mini range consists of two main variants:
•Fixed white - 2700K, 3000K, 3500K or 4000K emitters, or
•RGBW - Red, green, blue and warm white (3000K) LED emitters.
External control using the industry standard DMX-512A is supported via either cable or the
in-built Aria™ wireless receiver. The industry standard RDM (Remote Device Management)
format is used for configuration. Dyna Accent Mini can be mounted in a variety of ways
using optional mounting kits.
The internal auto-sensing power supply can accept mains inputs between 100 to 240VAC at
50 or 60Hz. Total power consumption is just 13W.
Optional spread lenses and snoots are available.
SAFETY
•When fixtures are mounted off-ground, ensure that they are securely fitted to an
appropriate mounting surface.
•Ensure that the power input is supplied from a correctly fused, earthed and
environmentally protected location.

INSTALLATION
TILT ADJUSTMENT
The Dyna Accent Mini fixture uses two bolts to adjust and lock off its tilt angle. A 3/16”
(5mm) Allen wrench (hex key) is required for adjusting the tilt angle.

The tilt angle of the Dyna Accent Mini head is adjustable through a range of nearly 180
degrees. See next page.

TILT RANGE
The head of the Dyna Accent Mini can be rotated through almost 180 degrees, although the
downward tilt limit is restricted slightly when used with either of the base plate options.
Note: If the cable is to be run externally to the pillar, for instance when using a ground spike, take
care to guard against cable pinching. See “To remove the cable from the pillar” on page 6.

FITTING A GROUND SPIKE
The optional ground spike kit provides extra flexibility for landscape illumination projects.
When the Dyna Accent Mini is used with the ground spike, the cable must first be removed
from within the pillar.
TO REMOVE THE CABLE FROM THE PILLAR
Note: This procedure must be carried out before any power or
control connections are made.
1 Use a 3/16” (5mm) Allen wrench (hex key) to remove the two
bolts which secure the fixture body to the pillar.
2 Slide the pillar down the cable and detach it completely:
4 With the cable arranged to the appropriate side of the
pillar, align the yoke with the fixture’s mounting holes
and re-insert the two bolts removed earlier.
3 Before re-attaching the pillar, consider how the Dyna Accent
Mini will be tilted once it is installed. To avoid any pinching
of the cable by the yoke (located at the top of the pillar),
arrange the cable to exit either from the front or from the
rear of the pillar:
If the fixture will be tilted up,
arrange the cable so that it exits
at the front of the pillar.
If the fixture will be tilted down,
arrange the cable so that it exits
at the rear of the pillar.
Pillar
Note: The pillar has a standard internal 1/2” NPS pipe thread.

TO FIT THE GROUND SPIKE
Note: This procedure can be carried out in any order (apart from step 1), however, if you attach
the fixture to the spike once it is in the ground, the actions of attachment could loosen the
spike’s grounding, particularly in soft soil. However, in hard soils it may be necessary to first drive
the spike into the ground using a mallet and a suitable piece of wood as a drift (to protect the
top of the spike).
1 Remove the cable from within the pillar, as discussed on the
previous page.
2 Screw the threaded Joiner into the base of the fixture’s pillar and
tighten using a 15/16”(24mm) wrench:
3 Screw the small thread of the joiner
into the top of the ground spike and
use the same wrench to tighten it
in place.
4 Push the spike into the ground. If
necessary, use a piece of wood, each
side of the joiner, to apply suitable
downward pressure directly to the
top surface of the spike. Do not
push down hard on the fixture itself.

FITTING A BASE PLATE
Two types of base plate are available, both have an outside diameter of 4.45”(113mm); one
is solid, for direct surface mounting, while the other is hollow for use on standard 4” round
electrical outlet boxes. Both base plate types are attached to the Dyna Accent Mini fixture
in the same way. See “Dimensions” on page 22. Note: The pillar has a standard internal 1/2”
NPS pipe thread.
TO FIT A BASE PLATE
1 First determine whether the cable will run down through the pillar and through the base
plate, or will run externally. If the cable is to run externally, see“To remove the cable from
the pillar” on page 6.
2 If the cable is run down inside the pillar, thread the cable through the center hole of the
plate and also through the large Lock nut.
3 Bring the lock nut up through the center hole of the base plate and insert it into the
internal thread of the pillar. Tighten using a 1” (26mm) wrench.

4 Secure the base plate to the surface/electrical outlet box using four suitable screws or
bolts (preferably with countersunk heads).
