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.
WireConnectors – 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.
