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. Dig hole approximately 10" diameter by 8" deep. This allows approximately 3" of pea gravel or sand to surround the
luminaire housing.
3. Strip the (2) leads from the luminaire pigtail wire. Using the two (2) silicone filled 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 to the main supply cable.
4. Install luminaire in hole and backfill hole after installation with pea gravel or sand.
5. Provide power to luminaire and check for proper operation.
