LUMINAIRE MOUNTING:
PRECAUTION: Luminaire is not submersible and adequate drainage must be provided during installation. It is recommended
that the luminaire be surrounded by 3” to 4” of pea gravel or sand to assure proper drainage. Top of luminaire must be
above grade so rain and irrigation water can not accumulate for long periods of time.
1. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect transformer from electrical supply before installation or service.
2. With a at blade screwdriver, loosen terminal screws located on the back of the PAR-36 lamp.
3. Connect lamp holder leads (blue spade connector) to lamp terminals and tighten screws.
4. Coat screws with silicone grease.
5. Install lamp into black silicone rubber lamp holder.
6. Dig hole approximately 11” diameter by 11” deep. This allows approximately 3” of pea gravel or sand to surround the
ABS sleeve.

screw on side of support bracket. Push luminaire and support bracket down to desired
level.
8. Run wire pigtail through bottom of ABS sleeve and strip the two (2) leads from the
luminaire wire. Using the two (2) silicone lled safety connectors (provided), connect the
leads from the luminaire to the main supply cable leads.
NOTE: Luminaires are supplied with 36” of 18-2 cable pigtail for secure connection to the
main supply cable. The wire is to be protected by routing in close proximity to the
luminaire. The wiring shall be buried a maximum of 6 inches (15.2 cm) in order to connect
the main supply cable.
NOTE: There are two knockouts on the bottom of the rubber lamp holder which should be
removed to provide proper ventilation for lamp and for drainage of any water which may
seep in. Removing knockouts and providing proper ventilation will prolong the life of the
lamp.
