Quick guide from the manual

The Malmbergs Spot V LED is a 12V DC luminaire designed for outdoor or landscape lighting. It requires a compatible 12V DC LED driver for operation. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local regulations. The system uses a parallel connection, and the total cable length from the driver to the last fixture must not exceed 20 meters.

Safety Instructions

Qualified Installation: The luminaire must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Power Supply: Always disconnect the power supply before installation, maintenance, or lamp replacement.
Connection: The LED luminaire must be connected in parallel to a 12V DC LED driver. Incorrect connection may damage the fixture.
Secondary Side: Never switch the power on or off on the secondary side (between the driver and the light), as this can damage or destroy the diodes.
