Installation Guide

PureVue
™
LED Puck Light
Architectural quality, component-based LED lighting system
Practical configuration, easy to install
PureVue LED lights can be a surface-mounted puck or a sleek recessed
down light. High quality all metal construction, each fixture comes prewired
with a 36 in. color-coded power lead for easy direct wire connections.
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.
Ultra bright chip-on-board (COB) LED array technology
PureVue Lights are made with Cree
®
High Power XLamp
®
COB LEDs and
consume only 4 watts at full brightness to produce
about 320 lumens of light. Performance is equivalent
to a conventional 35- to 40-watt halogen bulb.
PureVue diffusing technology reduces glare to deliver smooth consistent
light output with no visible LED chips or bright spots.
Fully dimmable
Enjoy smooth, soft-start and fade-to-dark professional dimming with any
standard, in-wall AC dimmer when PureVue lights are used with Armacost
Lighting’s Universal Dimming LED drivers. PureVue lights are also
compatible with Armacost Lighting’s line of 12-volt Wireless, WiFi, and
Slimline Touch Dimmers. Wireless dimming controls can eliminate the
need to run wires from the LED lighting to the remote dimmer location,
useful in situations where installing new cabling can be difficult. Visit
armacostlighting.com/dimming to learn more about your dimming options.
Requires a 12V DC power supply. Each LED light uses about 4 watts.
Choose an adequately rated power supply based on the number of
installed lights.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION: For use only with low voltage 12V DC power source.
Do not connect to 120V 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
First, remove trim ring by grasping ring and then firmly pushing on back
side of LED light.
Flush mount
Cut a 2-1/8 in. diameter hole at desired location
and insert light. Tension clips will hold the light
in place. No trim ring required.
Surface mount
Keeping power cable
threaded through trim ring,
install ring using screws.
Insert light into trim ring
until secure.
Typical connection
Simply connect LED lights to the low voltage output of your 12V 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 12V battery.
Be sure to use a 12V 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 4 watts or 0.33 amps.

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
armacostlighting.com/voltagedrop.
Planning for a dimmer
Use only Armacost Lighting LED dimmers or an Armacost AC to DC dimmable
LED power supply with a compatible Lutron
®
or similar style in-wall AC dimmer.
Be sure to visit armacostlighting.com/dimming to learn about the types of
dimmers that will work with Armacost LED lighting and power supplies.
