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 MO is a faceplate-adjustable LED Wall Light. Each of the three
components (faceplate assembly, LED module, and conduit sleeve)
must be included into every installation to achieve proper functionality.
Faceplates are intended for vertical installation:
RD & SQ – Down light only, mounted on a vertical surface.
ST & WW – Mounted in any orientation on a vertical surface.
The ST and WW faceplates may be installed on horizontal surfaces only
in covered areas where water cannot access the fixture or pool.
A 2" schedule 40 conduit is included in a length of 12 inches. This
conduit can be cut to length, but must always fully capture the fixture
base. Due to the tapered design, do not cut past the line indicated on
the conduit. Thus, the included conduit cannot be cut any shorter than
7–1/2". If a shorter length is required, a standard 2" conduit is required.
Insert the MO LED module into the faceplate, and then press the
complete assembly into the installed conduit. The module and
faceplate must be fully pressed together to maintain proper seal.
Ensure the faceplate is pressed as flush as possible to the mounting
surface.
To change color temperature, insert a colored filter into the faceplate
as shown on the exploded view drawing. Only one filter can be used at
a time.
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.

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. Sample diagram of home with transformer and lamp placement
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.
