HELPFUL TIPS
» Location of Trex LandscapeLighting is up to
customer as to where they would like lighting
components placed. Different length of lead wires
can be purchased depending on the distances
between lights.
» Please note that Trex lighting operates on DC
power. NEVER mix AC and DC fi xtures on the
same circuit. Doing so will result in extremely
premature fi xture failure and is not covered by
the Trex Limited Warranty. You must use a Trex
transformer on all Trex lighting installations.
» Leave slack in wire to make fi xture terminations.
Keep in mind slack will also be required to
properly bury wire.
» Trex Landscape wires are approved for underground
use. Wire is made from silver-coated copper.
» Trex Landscape lights will require the use of a
female-to-female adaptor to connect light to male
connector wire (this adapter is included with each
fi xture and is also sold separately).
» All Trex Landscape lights use male-to-male
connector wires, sold in lengths of 5' (1.52 m),
10' (3.05 m), 20' (6.1 m), 40' (12.2 m), and
60' (18.3 m) (sold separately).
» All lights EXCEPT the spotlight can be wired together
on a circuit.
» Trex Spotlights require different wiring
confi gurations; refer to detailed instructions
on following pages for specifi cs.
» Only use a standard household AC GFCI
protected outlet to help prevent damage from
power surges or lightning.
» When using timer, ensure this is in full view of the
sun if using the dusk/dawn feature.
» It is recommended to have power source attached
when installing lights to ensure all components work.
» When burying wire in live sod use spade shovel
to make a slit in the soil. Bury the wire 1"–3"
(25 mm–76 mm) deep and tamp down the soil.
Water heavily to allow the soil to resettle and
minimize impact on the installation site.
» When installing wiring, avoid extreme angles,
pressure, or tension on the wiring, as this can
cause pinching of the wiring and create a lighting
failure.
