Turn Off supply power prior to making any
electrical connections.
12V Luminaires:
These luminaires are designed for use with a remote
transformer (landscape lighting type) with electrical ratings
not to exceed 15V, 25A, 300W.
Wire
–Use only cable rated for low voltage. If cable is to be
buried, max depth is 6 inches, unless using direct burial
cable. Use the chart below to determine proper wire gauge,
wattage & length of run.
Wire Connectors
–Use silicone filled, waterproof wire nuts
to make electrical connections.
Luminaire Voltage Test
–Test luminaire with a digital
voltage meter at luminaire’s input wire leads. Voltage at the
wire leads must not exceed 15 Volts or drop below 10.5 Volts
or luminaire warranty will be voided.
