Installation Guide

Swivel Recessed LED Light
Architectural quality, component-based LED lighting system
Practical configuration, easy to install
This bright, highly efficient, 3-watt low-voltage LED light is a perfect
solution for installations where a slim profile, recessed spot light is
required such as cabinets, display shelving, wall artwork, vanities and
staircases. It is available in a variety of finishes and color temperatures
to complement any architectural design or décor in your home, boat, or
RV. Low-voltage safe, simply cut or extend cables to meet any installation
need. Lights can be installed individually, linked together, or combined
with Armacost LED tape lighting in the same circuit. The number of lights
installed is limited only by the output rating of the power supply.
Bright and highly efficient, cool to the touch
LEDs emit very little heat, ensuring they won’t overheat an enclosed
space. Integral diffusers soften the lighting and eliminate glare on
adjacent surfaces. High quality, energy-efficient LEDs are rated for
35,000 hours and require a 12-volt DC power supply (sold separately)
with enough wattage to suit the application.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION: For use only with low-voltage 12-volt DC power source.
Do not connect to 120-volt AC current.
For dry location only.
Disconnect all power before installing.
Wire runs inside walls must be installed in accordance with national and
local electrical codes, low-voltage Class 2 circuit. Use properly certified
CL2 or better cabling. Do not install low-voltage wiring in the same
wire run as AC power. If AC and low-voltage wires cross, keep them at
90-degree angles. If you are unclear as to how to install and wire this
device, contact a qualified electrician.
■
Use only insulated staples, plastic ties or clips to secure wires.
■
Route and secure wires so they will not be pinched or damaged.
■
Failure to observe polarity or shorting of wires may damage the LED lights.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Hole cutout size: 1-3/4 in.
Hole should have a depth or clearance of at least 1-1/4 in. (28mm)
in order to accommodate the LED light housing and wiring.
First, bend the spring clips backwards and insert into your cutout while
under tension. Then, simply press light fixture into hole. Spring clips
will hold light securely in place. Use the front surface to rotate or tilt
the swivel light as desired.
Typical connection
Simply connect LED lights to the low-voltage output of your 12-volt DC
power supply as shown. Always maintain polarity, red (+) to red, black (–)
to black. Splice and extend power lead cables to meet installation needs.
For RV and boat applications, power the lighting directly by 12-volt battery.
Be sure to use a 12-volt DC power supply with sufficient wattage
to power the total number of LED lights connected to your system.
At 100% brightness, each LED light uses about 3 watts.

On very large, multi-LED light installations, be aware of possible voltage
drop, which only becomes undesirable if you notice the brightness in
one area of your lighting is objectionably different than in another area.
Do not coil wire; shorter lengths and thicker wire will mean less voltage
drop and higher brightness. For an online voltage drop calculator, visit
