Voltage (12V), via the outdoor transformer. Never connect the light fittings directly to the mains without using this
transformer.

carefully, ensuring the cables will reach
the distances between the indoor plug, the
outdoor transformer and each light fitting.
Avoid locating any cables in positions that
would cause a trip hazard. Position cables
and transformer away from areas where they
may be at risk from being cut, trapped or
damaged.
The plug has no special protection against
moisture and must be situated indoors.
The 12 Volt transformer is rated at IP44 and
can be positioned outdoors. Avoid positioning
in very wet areas.

Do not bury the transformer in the ground
and avoid positioning it in very wet areas.
Installation:
1) Position the plug next to the indoor mains outlet socket that the system will connect to. Do not plug in at this
stage.
2) After deciding where to place the light fittings, and the position of the transformer, ensure the cables are long enough
to connect to the desired positions.
3) The transformer can be situated indoors or outdoors.
4) Lay out the 12 metre extension cable in the desired route, ensuring the cable does not present a trip hazard and
decide where to position each light along the cable.

attached will reach the extension cable.
