IntelliBrite Landscape Light Installation and User’s Guide
5
CONNECTING THE LIGHT WIRES TO THE TRANSFORMER
IntelliBrite landscape LED lights are powered by a standard 12 VAC to 12
VAC landscape transformer (purchased separately). Select the correct
transformer rating (Wattage) which is able to power the number of IntelliBrite
landscape LED lights installed. For example, a maximum of 15 IntelliBrite
lights requires a 300 Watt transformer. Refer to “Number of Lights vs
Required Transformer Rating” page 6 for transformer wattage requirements.
If your lighting system is powering other lights, add all the light wattage
together to select the correct transformer wattage. All lights can be connected
together using a landscape direct-burial cable (purchased separately).
Transformer Location
Select a location for the transformer near the exterior AC power outlet. Mount
the transformer using suitable wall anchors. There usually are slots or
brackets on the back of the transformer for this purpose.
Wiring the Lights to the Transformer
Before wiring lights, DISCONNECT TRANSFORMER
PLUG FROM AC POWER.
Strip back the direct-burial landscape wires of the main cable. Connect each
wire to the output terminals on the transformer (typical is shown below).
Switch AC power on to the transformer.
Note: For complete wiring information regarding your transformer, refer to the
manufacturers documentation provided with the transformer.
Transformer Timer Settings
Most transformers have a dial-type timer. Set the timer to the approximate
current time. A typical transformer may use red tab(s) for start off/on time, and
black tab(s) for time to turn off. A digital timer may also used.
Using an Electronic Transformer with the Landscape Light
A standard magnetic transformer is recommended for use with the IntelliBrite
landscape light. If an electronic transformer is being used, an additional
halogen or incandescent light is required. The wattage of this light must be at
least equal to or greater than the minimum wattage requirement
recommended by the electronic transformer manufacturer (see page 7).
