800-733-2823 before proceeding. Follow all NEC guidelines and local electrical codes. For more information, visit: fxl.com
WARNING – To reduce the risk of FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSON:
• Turn off/unplug and allow to cool before replacing lamp.
• Lamp gets HOT quickly. Contact only switch/plug when turning on.
• Do not touch hot lens, guard, or enclosure.
• Keep lamp away from materials that may burn.
• Do not touch the lamp at any time. Use a soft cloth. Oil from skin may
damage lamp.
• Do not operate the luminaire fitting with a missing or damaged shield.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock
• Install all luminaires 10 feet (3.05 m) or more from a pool, spa, or fountain.
• A luminaire shall not use tungsten halogen lamps unless the luminaire is
marked for such lamps.
• Supply connection and electrical components are located above ground level,
except for secondary cord that is suitable for wet locations.
LOW VOLTAGE CABLE SHALL:
1. Be protected by routing in close proximity to the luminaire or fitting, or next to
a building structure such as a house or deck.
2. Not be buried except for a maximum 6 inches (15.2 cm) in order to connect to
the main low voltage cable.
3. Have the length cut off so that it is connected to a connector within 6 inches
(15.2 cm) from a building structure, a luminaire, or fitting.
AVERTISSEMENT – Pour réduire le risque D’INCENDIE OU DE BLESSURE:
• Éteignez/débranchez la lampe et laissez-la refroidir avant de la remplacer.
• La lampe devient rapidement BRÛLANTE. Ne touchez que l’interrupteur/
la prise lors de la mise sous tension.
• Ne touchez pas la lentille, le dispositif de sécurité ni le boîtier lorsqu’ils
sont chauds.
• N’approchez pas la lampe de matériaux pouvant s’enflammer.
• Ne touchez jamais la lampe. Utilisez un chiffon doux.
• La graisse de la peau peut endommager la lampe.
• N’utilisez pas le raccord du luminaire si le bouclier est absent ou endommagé.
AVERTISSEMENT – Risque d’électrocution
• Installez tous les luminaires à 3,05 m (10 pieds) ou plus d’une piscine, d’un
spa ou d’une fontaine.
• Les luminaires ne doivent pas utiliser de lampes tungstène-halogène à moins
que le luminaire soit prévu pour ce type de lampe.
• Le raccordement au réseau électrique et les différents matériels électriques
doivent installés au-dessus du niveau du sol, exception faite pour les fils ou
réseaux secondaires qui conviennent aux lieux humides
LE CÂBLE BASSE TENSION DEVRA:
1. Être protégé en le faisant passer à proximité du luminaire ou du raccord,
ou à côté d’une construction comme une maison ou une terrasse.
2. Ne pas être enterré sauf à un maximum de 15,2 cm (6 pouces) pour être
branché au câble basse tension principal.
3. Être raccourci de manière à être branché à un connecteur situé à moins de
15,2 cm (6 pouces) d’une construction, d’un luminaire ou d’un raccord.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: CONSERVEZ SOIGNEUSEMENT CES INSTRUCTIONS:
DO NOT EXCEED 15 VOLTS IN THIS FIXTURE
The LEDs in this product function ideally when the incoming voltage is between
10–15 volts. Voltages outside of this range may damage the LEDs, shorten their
life, and cause unsatisfactory performance. The use of improper voltage voids
the product warranty. Use only a UL 1838 approved power supply.
The BQ Barbeque (BBQ) Light is designed for installation on a horizontal
surface, commonly next to a BBQ. The flexible arm is covered by a heat shrink
sheath to increase the life of the product. Do not remove the black sheath.
The flexible arm is designed to be used in the upright position to support the
fixture head's weight. Avoid overextending the flexible arm, which can cause
the arm to weaken and sag, do not install fixture base more than 12" from
BBQ.
Do not place the head directly over the BBQ. Significant heat directed at the
LED board may cause the board to fail.
Drill a ⅝" hole in the horizontal mounting surface. Insert the BQ wire and
threaded mounting rod through the hole and hand-tighten wing nut onto
mounting rod to secure fixture.
Changing or removing the color and beam adjustment lenses:
To remove, add, or change a color or beam angle lens, twist the lens cap back
and forth while simultaneously pullling up. Once the lens cap is removed,
twist the top lens ¼ turn counterclockwise to release the bayonet lock and lift
the lens(es) off. Repeat to remove multiple lenses. Once removed, reattach
the new color and/or beam angle lens tby lining up the bayonet mount and
twisting clockwise ¼ turn while gently pressing down. Reinstall the lens cap
by firmly pressing it past the double O-rings and flush with main fixture.
The LED board in this product is designed to offer years of use without
replacement. Should you need to replace the LED board, please contact your
local FX distributor for a board replacement and the necessary instructions.
DO NOT REMOVE BLACK SHEATH OVER FLEXIBLE ARM. DOING SO VOIDS

Single Transformer
When using only one transformer, it is very important to center the transformer on the wattage load. If the
project calls for 135 watts in both front and back yard, the transformer should be centered on the side of
the house that will receive the most lighting. A common mistake is to locate the single transformer on the
service side of the house or in the garage, which might result in excessively long cable runs to reach lighted
areas. The primary goal in laying out low voltage systems is to minimize cable runs because of voltage drop
and cost.
Multiple Transformers
A common mistake in laying out multiple transformer circuits is to group several transformers in one
location because of utility or visual considerations only. As with any low voltage layout, the prime directive
should be to locate the transformers as close to the fixtures as possible in order to minimize cable runs. The
other multi-transformer layout consideration is “use zoning.” Having several transformers allows the client
to selectively control light in separate areas. This approach is similar to irrigation design in that the goal
is to individually control areas that have similar needs. In lighting, a recreation area has different lighting
needs than a front entry. Therefore, the lights that serve these different lighting use areas need to be on
separate transformers and switch controls. Use of the FX Luxor transformer oers the alternative solution,
allowing zoning and dimming capabilities on a single transformer.

TRANSFORMERS:
• For maximum light output, tune lighting circuits to provide
between 10 and 15 volts as measured at lamp terminals when all
of the lamps on the circuit are operating.
• Voltage can be regulated by adjusting circuit load/run.
• To determine circuit voltage, use a digital voltmeter.
• Connectors used to connect a luminaire or output circuit component to the
main low voltage cable shall be copper or copper alloy, or the equivalent.
• When installed, the connection shall guard against inadvertent shorting of
current-carrying parts.
• Wire nuts are not to be used unless provided with corrosion protection,
intended for outdoor use, and designed for direct burial.
