Luminaire mounting

For typical ground stake mounting:

1. Find a clear area to work.
2. Run the wire from the luminaire through the mounting hole in the top of the ground stake.
3. Attach the luminaire to the ground stake by threading it into the mounting hole until it fits snugly against the bottom of the stem.

Wiring instructions

The luminaire uses silicone-filled wirenuts for connection to the main supply wire. Note that these wirenuts are intended for one-time use only.

1. Strip the two wire leads from the luminaire.
2. Connect them to the main supply wire using the provided silicone-filled wirenut.
3. The wire nut capacity is 2 pieces of 18 AWG and 2 pieces of 12 AWG.

Cable Burial: The main secondary wire is intended for shallow burial (less than 6 inches / 15.2cm). Ensure the wire is cut to length so that it connects to a connector within 6 inches of a building structure, luminaire, or fitting.
