This document provides installation instructions for the Hinkley 1536LL LED Spot Light. This luminaire is designed exclusively for use with Hinkley-approved 12-volt landscape systems. Connecting to other systems may cause premature failure or improper operation.
Luminaire mounting
Follow these steps for typical ground stake mounting:

- Safety first: Disconnect the transformer from the electrical supply before beginning any installation or service.
- Run the wire from the luminaire through the mounting hole located at the top of the ground stake.
- Attach the luminaire to the ground stake by threading it into the mounting hole until it fits snugly against the bottom of the stem.
- Place the stake in the desired position and insert it into the ground until the flange of the stake is flush with the ground.
- Strip the two wire leads from the luminaire and connect them to the main supply wire using the provided silicone-filled wirenuts.
Lamp installation
To install or replace the lamp:
- Place the spring on the back side of the lamp.
- Compress the spring and secure the floating socket to the lamp pins.
- Set the lamp and spring into the base.
- Place the cowl over the assembly and secure it with the thumb screw.
Wiring requirements
The main low voltage cable must be protected and installed correctly:
- The cable should be routed in close proximity to the luminaire or next to a building structure (e.g., house or deck).
- The main secondary wire is intended for shallow burial, less than 6 inches (15.2 cm).
- Ensure the cable is connected to a connector within 6 inches (15.2 cm) of a building structure, luminaire, or fitting.
