What happens here

After all the lights are wired, locate a suitable outdoor wall outlet for the in-lite transformer. The transformer is a plug-and-play unit. Plug the transformer's power cord into the wall outlet. Then, connect the main low-voltage cable from the lighting system to the 'WIRE TERMINAL' screw terminals on the transformer, ensuring a secure connection. The transformer also has settings to control the lighting, such as 'OFF', 'DUSK TO DAWN', and 'ON' for a set number of hours (e.g., 1-12 hours). Select the desired setting. Once powered, the lights should illuminate. Inspect all lights for proper operation and confirm the desired aesthetic effect.

Goal: Power the lighting system and verify all lights are functional.

Tools and materials

  • In-lite Transformer in-lite — Converting household current to low-voltage power for the lights
