How to install low voltage outdoor garden lighting

7/2/2018


by LED Outdoor

 
Well done, you've made the effort to learn how to install your garden lights properly. It's not rocket science but it will take a bit of patience especially if you haven't done much soldering before. If you are unsure try and get someone who is confident to either show you or help you out.  A good landscaper or qualified electrician may seem costly in the scheme of things at the beginning, but the pain it can cause you in the long run if water seeps in to your wiring will hurt your pocket more.
​
Installation Guide
Professional Low-Voltage Wiring 

Important Information
Please follow instructions carefully. Failure to do so will void warranty. Please ensure installation complies with local law and applicable standards.
  1. Only use a LED Outdoor 24V DC power supply (driver).
  2. Ensure mains input power is surge protected.
  3. Never make connections whilst the power is connected.
  4. Do not make modifications or alter the product.
  5. Keep luminaire clean and free of debris.
  6. Take extreme care when using an open flame outdoors. 

​Required Equipment

- Soldering Iron or Butane Gas Torch
- Hot-Air Gun or Butane Gas Torch
- Solder
- Wire Cutters
- Heat shrink Tube(Resin Filled)
- Heat shrink Caps
- Scissors 

Installation Process

STEP 1.
Cut the feed cable where light it to be installed. Strip PVC insulation to expose copper strands.

STEP 2.
Fan out strands then twist all the red cables together tightly followed by all the black cables, keeping the shoulders of the PVC insulation level.

Step 3
Using a butane gas torch (or soldering iron) - heat the twisted strands and apply enough solder to get right into the middle of the strands. Trim the end with wire cutters and be careful to remove sharp edges.

Step 4
Place shrink cap over the connection ensuring a third of its length is covering the cable insulation. Carefully apply heat using a blow torch or heat gun to seal the connection from moisture. Be careful not to burn the rubber - this process takes time and should not be rushed. The cap will collapse around the connection and you will notice black adhesive seep from the bottom when complete.

Step 5
Place glue lined heat shrink tubing over the whole connection. Ensure the tube covers the outer insulation of both the light fitting cable and the feed cable. Gently heat allowing the tube to collapse tightly around the connection leaving no gaps. With your pliers squeeze the end of the tube to seal and allow to cool.

"I had been looking for outdoors lights for our wedding reception venue for a while, and I kept come back to LED Outdoor. As we are located in the Hunter Valley, I thought surely there was someone local who could provide the same product. I eventually gave up my search, and rang Troy at LED Outdoor. His customer service, knowledge and advice has been incredible. The lights arrived in 48 hours (which in itself was incredible!), were installed easily by our electricians and look absolutely amazing. I would not go anywhere else in future. The lighting has taken the presentation of our property to another level. Thanks Troy!"
