Before installing or using the Philips Hue Amarant, please read these safety instructions carefully. This product is a landscape lighting system intended for outdoor use. Failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty and result in serious injury or damage.
- Power Supply: Use only with a Philips Hue 24V SELV LED Power Supply. Do not use an extension cord.
- Electrical Safety: The power supply must be connected to a GFCI-protected hooded flush-type cover plate receptacle marked for wet locations.
- Placement Restrictions: Do not install the power supply unit or luminaires within 10 feet (3.05 m) of a pool, spa, or fountain. Do not submerge the luminaire or power supply in water.
- Burial Guidelines: The landscape wire and connector can be hidden under stone or buried under grass at a maximum depth of 6 inches (15.2 cm). Philips recommends a minimum depth of 4 inches when burying in a lawn to prevent damage from aerators. Do not bury the T-shaped connectors.
Installation and Setup
Follow these steps to install and configure your lighting system:
- Preparation: Ensure you have the necessary tools (screwdriver, pencil, drill). Turn off electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box before starting.
- Mounting: The luminaire can be mounted on the ground or wall. Ensure the surface is suitable for the fixture.
- Wiring: Connect the fixtures using the provided connectors. Ensure all connections are secure and protected.
- Power Connection: Connect the system to the 24V power supply and plug it into the GFCI-protected outlet.
- Smart Setup: To control the lights, ensure you have the Hue app installed. Switch on the fixture, open the Hue app, go to settings, select Light setup, and tap the (+) icon to add your new fixture.
