TWGP-TRANS-360SS Guidelines
• Connect no more than 6 TWGP lights to each
wire run.
• Maximum 4 wire runs per hub.
• Bring all wire runs into a TWGP-HUB (close
to the postlight installation) and splice together
using the supplied water-proof connections.
From the TWGP-HUB, run a single “Home
Run” cable to the transformer location.
• Lights should be roughly 15’ apart.

Determine the Number of Lights Needed and the Spacing
Directions Example
1. Use a measuring wheel to determine the length of the perimeter of the area to
be illuminated.
Perimeter measures 352’.
2. e lights should be roughly 15’ apart. Divide the perimeter by 15. Divide 352 by 15.
Equals 23.46.
3. Round that number UP to the nearest whole number.
at is the number of lights needed.
Round 23.46 up to 24.
4. Divide the perimeter by the number of lights.
at is how far apart the lights should be installed.
Divide 352 by 24.
Equals: 14.7´.
Notes Before Installing
Before installing the Twilight Golf Post lights, it is important to keep two things in mind during the installation planning.
Direction
Before backlling the hole, rotate the STAKE in the
ground so the notch points towards the center of the
desired illuminated area.
!
WARNING: Do not rotate light post once
inserted as this may damage the unit.
(See Figures 8 and 9 for lamp head adjustment.)
Level
Before backlling, use a bubble level to conrm the TWGP-
STAKE is level in the ground. is ensures the light will come out
of the ground at 90˚.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Turn
off power before servicing. Install all post
lights 10 feet (3.05m) or more from a pool,
spa, or fountain.
1. Remove sod and excavate a 12” deep (below
aeration depth) trench for the UF supply line
cable or conduit and lightpost. The lightpost
requires a 10” diameter hole to facilitate
installation to a depth of 18”.
2. Feed the incoming UF supply line cable or
conduit through the slanted bottom of the
lightpost (Figure 5-1). Provide 30” of wire
from the bottom to allow for future servicing.
If wiring multiple light fixtures in a series, make
sure you pull the second (continuing) supply
wire through the lightpost.
3. Connect the supply wires to the ToroCap’s wires
using the included wire nuts (Figure 5-2).
4. Encase all wire connections in the supplied
water-proof grease caps (Figure 5-3).
5. Push all wires back into the Landscape
LightPost and slide ToroCap back on.
6. Align holes on ToroCap with holes on the
Lightpost. Start all three included screws, then
tighten. (Figure 6).
7. Place the now wired LightPost into the
excavated trench and position to the desired
height. If wiring multiple fixtures, adjust the
incoming and outgoing supply wires or conduit
at the bottom of the LightPost so the wires or
conduit do not bind.
8. Open the cover-flap on the ToroCap. The
Twilight Golf Post Light is keyed with an
alignment screw. Align with the slot on the base
and insert the light (Figure 7).
(See Figures 8 and 9for lamp head
adjustments.)

Wiring Inside the Hub
1. Feed all wires into the slanted end of the hub giving 12 of slack to allow for future servicing (Figure 16).
2. Strip 1/2” o each transformer wire and feed into an aluminum terminal lug.
Tighten with supplied Allen wrench (Figure 10).
3. Strip one end of each of the 5-amp fuse wires 1½˝. Twist the exposed ends together (up to four) (Figure 11).
4. Into the same side as the transformer wire of the terminal lug, feed the bundled wires into the other hole. Tighten with an
Allen wrench (Figure 11). Trim excess.
5. Push the wired terminal lug deep into the supplied grease cap (Figure 12).
6. Pull to tighten the zip-tie on the grease cap to secure the terminal lug. (Figure 13).
7. Twist the other end of the 5-amp fuse wire with one of the brown wires from the light runs (Figure 14).
8. Feed the two wires into a provided wire nut (Figure 14).
9. Push the wire nut deep into the provided grease cap and close the latch (Figure 14).
10. Repeat steps 7-9 for the remaining light run wires.
11. Now, twist the remaining brown TWGP lines together (Figure 15).
12. Insert the wired bundle into the other terminal lug, same direction as the transformer line.
Tighten with an Allen wrench (Figure 12).
13. Push the wired terminal lug deep into the supplied grease cap (Figure 12).
14. Tighten the zip-tie on the grease cap to secure the terminal lug (Figure 13).
15. Secure wire bundle to bottom of the hub lid using the pre-attached zip-tie (Figure 16).
16. Install lid on hub.
