LUMINAIRE MOUNTING :

1. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect transformer from electrical supply

before installation or service.

2. Run wire pigtail from luminaire through mounting hole in top of ground

stake.

3. Thread luminaire into threaded hole in ground stake.

4. Place stake in desired position and insert into ground until ange of stake is

ush to grade.

5. Strip the two leads from the luminaire pigtail wire. Using two silicone lled

safety connectors (provided), connect leads from luminaire to main supply

cable leads.

NOTE: Luminaires are supplied with 36” of 18-2 cable pigtail for secure

connection to main supply cable. The wire is to be protected by routing in

close proximity to luminaire. The wiring should be buried a maximum depth of

6” (15.2 cm) in order to connect to main supply cable.

6. Aim luminaire to desired angle. Lock into place by tightening Phillips screw

in adjustable knuckle.

NOTE: Avoid aiming xture directly upward. Whenever possible, set at angle

to prevent rain or irrigation water from settling on lens.

NOTE: When positioning xture less than 45° from vertical position, INSERT

enclosed weep hole plug (see gures 1 & 2).

LAMP INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT:

CAUTION: Do not exceed maximum wattage marked on luminaire label.

1. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect transformer from electrical supply

before service.

2. Remove lens retaining ring and lens.

3. Replace lamp with correct wattage and type marked on xture label.

NOTE: DO NOT touch lamp with bare hands. Always use soft cloth or the

plastic wrapping (if available) from lamp to handle the lamp.

4. Re-install lens and lens retaining ring.

This document provides installation and maintenance instructions for the Vista Professional Outdoor Lighting 2104 Landscape Series Up & Accent Lights. It covers both incandescent and LED versions of the fixture, with separate instructions for each.

Function Description:

The Vista 2104 Landscape Series Up & Accent Lights are designed for outdoor illumination, providing up-lighting and accent lighting in landscape settings. These luminaires are intended for use with low voltage landscape power units. The incandescent version (2104) uses traditional lamps, while the LED version (2104-LED) incorporates a field-replaceable LED engine for energy-efficient lighting. Both versions are designed for above-ground installation using a ground stake. The adjustable knuckle allows for aiming the luminaire to a desired angle, providing flexibility in light direction.

Important Technical Specifications:

Power Unit Compatibility: For use only with low voltage landscape power units that do not exceed 25 amps and 15 volts maximum.
Installation Codes: Must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes.
Safety Clearances:
- Not to be installed within 10 ft (3.05m) of a pool or spa.
- Secondary cable is not to be buried more than 6 inches (15.2 cm).
Wiring: Supplied with a 36-inch (91.4 cm) 18-2 cable pigtail for secure connection to the main supply cable. The wiring should be buried a maximum depth of 6 inches (15.2 cm).
Load Capacity: When using multiple luminaires, the total load must not exceed the total watts of the transformer rating.
Connectors: Requires UL recognized wire connectors for connections (silicone-filled safety connectors are provided).
Operating Voltage (LED Version): The operating voltage range for the LED luminaire is 6 - 15 volt AC. The Vista electronic driver ensures consistent lumen output within this range, mitigating dimness issues often attributed to voltage drop. Note that specific operating voltage ranges for LED luminaires may vary by model, style, and number of LEDs; users should consult factory specifications for precise details.
Wattage (Incandescent Version): Do not exceed the maximum wattage marked on the luminaire label.
UL Listing: Luminaire is UL listed for above-ground installation only.

Usage Features:

Adjustable Aiming: The luminaire features an adjustable knuckle that allows users to aim the fixture to a desired angle. This is secured by tightening a Phillips screw.
Weep Hole Plug: For fixtures positioned less than 45° from vertical, an enclosed weep hole plug must be inserted to prevent water accumulation. If the fixture is positioned at 45° or more, the weep hole plug should not be inserted. This feature helps prevent rain or irrigation water from settling on the lens, which can extend the life of the fixture and lamp.
Ground Stake Mounting: The luminaire threads into a ground stake, which is then inserted into the ground until its flange is flush with the grade.
Silicone-Filled Safety Connectors: Provided for secure and weather-resistant connections to the main supply cable.
Field-Replaceable LED Engine (LED Version): The LED version allows for easy replacement of the LED engine, extending the lifespan of the fixture and simplifying maintenance. This involves removing the locking/expansion ring and lens, sliding out the old engine, disconnecting it, connecting the new engine, and reassembling.

Maintenance Features:

Lamp Replacement (Incandescent Version):
1. Disconnect transformer from electrical supply.
2. Allow the fixture to cool before handling.
3. Remove the lens retaining ring and lens.
4. Replace the lamp with the correct wattage and type specified on the fixture label.
5. Handle the new lamp with a soft cloth or its plastic wrapping to avoid oil from skin damaging the lamp.
6. Re-install the lens and lens retaining ring.
- Safety Precautions for Lamp Replacement: The lighted lamp can become very hot. Avoid touching the hot lens, guard, or enclosure. Do not operate the luminaire with a missing or damaged cover.
LED Engine Replacement (LED Version):
1. Disconnect transformer from electrical supply.
2. Remove the locking/expansion ring and lens.
3. Slide the field-replaceable LED engine assembly out of its mounting bracket.
4. Disconnect the connector assembly.
5. Connect the new field-replaceable LED engine to the connector assembly.
6. Reinstall the LED engine assembly into the mounting bracket.
7. Reinstall the lens cover and locking/expansion ring.
Cleaning: Use a soft cloth to clean the lamp (incandescent version) to avoid damage from skin oils.
General Safety: Always disconnect power before installation or service. Keep lamps away from flammable materials. Avoid locating luminaires where small children can reach them, especially if high-wattage lamps are used, as the lens and metal around the lamp can become hot enough to cause blisters.
