Wiring Instructions (text below diagram)
STEP 1:
Attach the stakes to each of your lights and place them in the
ground where you want them (i.e., 12-15 feet apart for walkways).
STEP 2:
Place your transformer near your outlet. Attach the low voltage
cable (12-gauge, 2-strand) to the transformer and roll out your
cable to each of the lights (meaning from light to light, not
from the transformer to each light individually - see diagram).
Allow 1-2 feet extra at each light in case you want to adjust
your positions later on.
STEP 3:
Cut the wires at each position and wire together like the diagram
above.
You'll be joining 3 wires together:
- The wire from the transformer or the last
light
- The wire from the light
- The wire that leads to the next light
Notes:
You can run multiple lines from your transformer, but each line
should not exceed 100 feet or six lights. Lights usually have
12, 18 or 25-watt bulbs in them. Add up your total wattage (example:
3 lights x 12 watts = 36 watts total), and make sure your transformer
has enough wattage to handle the load.
