product description
Design Gerd Pfarré, Christoph Matthias & Team Lichtlauf 2015
Twelve handcrafted optical fibres give an
impression of glowing reeds.
Consequently each stalk looks a little different.
MunichReeds can be placed in a lawn, in boggy soil, in a pond and also in
shallow water.
Light source: LED approx. 8 W Light colour warm white or amber
other light colours on request
Dimensions: housing 14x14x3,5 cm
Length of the stalks up to approx. 150 cm
Each lamp is handcrafted and has its unique shape.
Due to the manual production process there might occure irregularities
between the individual reeds.
By the influence of weather and temperature the reeds might bend
These are no product defects and therefore no reason for complaint or
reclamation.

special notes

assembly
Dig a deepening for the base. Depth: approx.
15 cm.
Besides another deepening for the can
closure.
Put the lamp in the deepening and put the
sleeve in the deepening besides that. Take
care that the cable is strain relieved and lies
loosely.The Cable must not be damaged by
sharp-egded stones. The base and the can
clorure must be covered with gravel or soil
The assembly and electric connection must
be done by an electric professional.
Attend the instructions of the can closure
FDM manufacturer Friedel which is illustrated
on the following pages.
Open the can closure, while holding the yellow
cap and turning the black can body counter-
clockwise. Cut as described in the instruction
a close fit to one of the rubber sleeves.
The size of the hole should be 2/3 of the
cable diameter of your mainscable at ma-
ximum. Use a submersible water resistant
mains cable. Otherwise the water might reach
the inside of the can closure through the
cable.
Clean the can closure as required and use
enclosed cable lubricant to push the cable
through the hole in the rubber sleeve.
(Fig. 3) Push the mains cable approx. 15 cm
through the rubber sleeve. Pay attention
that the rubber sleeve does not get dama-
ged.
Use the cable tie to seal up as shown in
(Fig. 4)
Strip of approx. 8 cm from the outer insula-
tion of the mains cable.
Strip of approx. 10 mm from the inner insula-
tion of the connector and neutral connector
Use the terminals to connect them to the
ECG in accordance to the colors (blue = neu-
tral connector, brown = connector). Open
the lever of the free position on the terminal
and push the strand into the terminal.
Close the lever and control the strand fits
firm in the terminal. Proceed as with leader
and neutral leader.
The secondary connection is already prefab-
ricated on the ECG.
Before you close the can closure, grease the
front end with the cable lubricant as descri-
bed in the instruction in Fig. 5.
Close the can closure, while you turn the
black can body clockwise against the cap.
Close closure very tight and according to the
torque information on the instructions.
Use the big cable tie to strain relieve mains
cable and secondary cable. (Fig. 6)
The installation of the can closure is in the
area of responsibility of the installer.
