Wall Wash (CIWL6)
Applies to CIWL6
Important. For CIWL6 Only: The lead wire for this fixture comes with Control Plug
detached. This allows the installer to pass wire through bracket and/or mounting
options such as Stake Mount (CWL8KIT) and Stake/Stem Mount (CWL9KIT). After
fixture is assembled with the selected mounting kit, installer attaches Control Plug
Assembly. Do not operate fixture with plug detached.
1. Bracket Mounting Instructions. (CIWL6 & CWL6LED1)
CAST Impressionist LED Wall Wash Light (CIWL6) includes copper mounting
bracket. Bracket can be used to mount fixture on any surface.
• Use provided (2) stainless steel flat Philips-head wood screws to secure bracket
to surface. If fixture lead wire interferes with flush-mounting then push bracket’s
anti-chafing plug back towards fixture to release wire. Pull wire through bracket.
• Position fixture to ensure proper aiming. Mark screw hole locations with marker.
• Disconnect bracket from fixture by removing (2) thumb screws. Screw bracket
onto surface. Re-attach bracket to fixture. Tighten thumb screws.
2. Canopy Mounting Instructions. (CIWL6 & CWL6LED1)
Use Wall Wash Canopy Mounting Kit (CWL7KIT) (purchased separately) for mount-
ing fixture to any surface to provide an offset of about 6” from surface to fixture
body.
• Before attaching mounting kit to Wall Wash bracket, insert end of fixture lead
wire into kit stem and feed through to exit kit bottom. Pull wire completely
through until it stops.
• Disconnect bracket from fixture by removing (2) thumb screws. Using provided kit
screws, secure kit flange to fixture bracket. Re-attach bracket to fixture. Tighten
thumb screws.
• Secure canopy to surface using provided screws.
3. Stake Mounting Instructions. (CIWL6 & CWL6LED1)
Use Wall Wash Stake Mounting Kit (CWL8KIT - short stem; CWL9KIT - long stem;
CWL9EXKIT - extendable stem) (purchased separately) for mounting in turf or
mulch bed regions.
•For all mounting kits, follow first three steps in Canopy Mounting instructions
(above).
3a. CWL8KIT Instructions: This kit comes with short stem and stake. Stake must
be installed in firm solid ground with top flange of stake level with ground. If
ground is not firm, then dig hole and backfill with mixture of pea gravel and soil.
• Stake can be removed from fixture so it can be driven into ground with rubber or
dead blow mallet. If stake is not removed, do not put pressure on fixture body
when inserting into ground (as this may bend the bracket).
3b. CWL9KIT & CWL9EXKIT Instructions: The CWL9KIT kit comes with a long
stem and Large Talon Stake. The CWL9EXKIT comes with a long extendable
stem and Large Talon Stake. For both kits, follow Large Talon Stake instructions
(next page).

1. Firmly insert green and
yellow pins into plug -
yellow pin must insert into pointed
end of plug.
2. Slip heat shrink tube over plug until
end is lined up with top of plug.
3. For best results, use 120V heat gun
(not torch - can damage connection)
to shrink tube on all sides until tight.
4. Insert Inner Cap into plug.
5. Place Outer Cap over Inner Cap.

3c. Large Talon Stake Mounting Instructions.
• To assemble stake, insert flat end of each spike into stake body receptacles. Secure set
screws with 3/32” hex bit.
• Prepare turf or bed area by removing plant material or mulch to attain a firm soil surface
of about 6” diameter. Tamp down soil and test with bubble level to ensure surface is
level. If desired (for aesthetic reasons), Talon Stake body can be set 1” below grade then
covered with soil or mulch.
• Position stake so wire opening faces wire trench.
• Drive stake into ground prior to attaching fixture. Use rubber or dead blow mallet to drive
talon into ground. Strike directly above each spike in turn, driving stake into ground in
steady increments to ensure pins enter vertically. Continue striking until body is firmly
seated in soil.
• Extend narrow trench to directly beneath center of stake. Insert fixture lead wire through
wire opening. Insert fixture stem into stake receptacle. Secure thumb screw. Back-fill
wire trench and, if needed, cover stake with soil or mulch.
For Impressionist Only! (CIWL6)
NOTE: CWL6LED1 is a fixed output lumen fixture.
1. LIGHT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS.
All CAST Impressionist Series fixtures have built-in light level control. This can be acti-
vated in two ways - using the provided Manual Dimmer Control Jumper Cable or with
the CAST Impressionist Dimmer Control (CDIMMER). Both of these devices plug into the
Fixture Control Plug located on the fixture lead wire.
• Manual Dimmer Control Jumper Cable (CIJ). Plugging this device into the fixture wire
Control Plug will activate the dimming (up or down) sequence. Each time the device is
plugged in (while fixture is powered) the dimming cycle reverses. As long as the device
is plugged in, the fixture will dim up or down until the maximum (100%) or minimum (5%)
is reached. If the plug is left in place for 15 sec. after either of these limits are reached,
then the fixture resets to 100%. When the device is unplugged, the fixture retains the
specific light level even when not powered.
• CAST Impressionist Dimmer Control (CDIMMER). Connect CDIMMER plug to fixture wire
Control Plug. Switch unit “ON”. Depress and hold “DIM” button to dim light up or down.
Each time button is depressed, dimming direction reverses. To bring fixture to 100%,
depress and hold button for 15 sec. Store unit in cool dry place. Change batteries yearly.
LUMINAIRE ADJUSTMENTS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• WARNING - Risk of Electric Shock. Install all luminaires
less than 10 ft. (3.05 m) or more from a pool, spa, or
fountain.
• Follow NEC guidelines for outdoor low voltage wiring.
• Obey all local electrical codes and requirements.
• Use only 25A/circuit 12-volt power supply.
• A luminaire shall not use tungsten halogen lamps unless
the luminaire is marked for such lamps.
• The luminaire’s low voltage cable shall:
a. be protected by routing in close proximity to the
luminaire or fitting, or next to a building structure
such as a house or deck;
b. not be buried except for a maximum 6 inches (15.2
cm) in order to connect to the main low voltage
cable.; and,
