INSTALLATION GUIDE
LED Lighting Considerations
Note: We do not provide the low voltage transformer. The choice of
transformer should be decided by the landscape lighting designer or if
you are installing yourself can be sourced directly on-line from sites
like Amazon.
The LED light requires 12 Volts and up to 10 Watts.
The light color or temperature is 4000K, commonly called “Cool”, just
above neutral. The maximum light output is 800 Lumens, similar to a
60-Watt incandescent light bulb. Area of illumination is approx. 1.5'
There are two wires coming from the bottom of the Forza850T-LUM
one is for connecting to an amplifier for sound and the other is for
connecting to a transformer for the LED light and is labeled “LED
Light”.
The wire for the LED light can be extended. A 5% reduction in
brightness can be expected using 14 gauge wire over 190 feet.
If you are partially burying the Forza850T-LUM, please experiment
with the depth and its affect on the lighting effect you are trying to
achieve.
When in doubt, consult a landscape lighting designer.
