Step 3 The Easy-Lock The Easy-Lock is used to connect the fixture to the cable. The duct is clamped onto the cable, inserted into the Easy-Lock and secured with the cap. It is impor- tant that the Easy-Lock is attached properly because it ensures good electrical conduction and optimal illumination of your light. The special gel provides the connection with extra protection against moisture and other external factors. Tip: If you decide to move the light to another location, the Easy-Lock can be easily detached and connected to a dif- ferent section of the cable – without damaging the cable! Step 4 The mini-connector You then attach the mini-connector to connect the fix- ture using the Easy-Lock.The soft PVC casing protects the connection frommoisture and dirt. The mini- connector also lets you easily pull the fixture cable through a hole in a tile or wall.
Step 1 The transformer The first step is to install the transformer around 50 cm above the ground in a fence or post in your yard. The light sensor is installed on the outside, since this causes the lighting to switch on at dusk. Make sure that the light sensor is not placed closed to artificial lighting because the sensor will react to it. The cable lugs provided are used to connect the cable to the transformer. These ensure good electrical conduction and protect the transformer from damage. Tip: Want to save energy? Do not leave the lighting switched on all night long (‘dusk to dawn’ setting), but set the number of hours that the lighting is on after sunset (‘on hours’ setting).
Step 2 The cable Once you have connected the cable to the transformer, you can roll it out. Install it along paving and borders as much as possible for easy access. Use extension cords for fixtures installed further away from the main cable. You can also make cable branches to guide the cable more ef- fectively along the fixtures. This is done using a cable connector. The cable can end anywhere in the yard and only needs to be secured with the cap provided. A layer of soil on top of the cable is enough to conceal it. Tip: Make a cable plan beforehand and include the location of the cable, fixtures, extension cords and cable connectors in it. More information on how to create a good cable plan can be found on our website.
Tip: To install a fixture further away from the cable, use an extension cord between the mini-connector on the Easy-Lock and the fixture. Step 5 The fixture Finally, install the fixture at the desired location. Always follow the instructions in the manual, which can be found on our website. If you want to install ground lights in your deck, keep in mind that you will probably have to drill holes in the tiles or boards. It is important that this be done properly because a hole that is not drilled perfectly round can cause installa- tion problems. A dealer or landscaper can take care of this for you, as they have the right tools. If you would prefer to do it yourself, visit our Learning Center in-lite.com/learning and watch our drilling videos.
