What happens here

Once all fixtures are installed and connected to the main low-voltage cable, carefully connect the main cable to the low-voltage output terminals on your transformer. Ensure all terminal screws are tightened securely. Now, plug the transformer into the GFCI-protected outdoor outlet. Turn on the system and observe the lighting. Walk through your lit outdoor space. Adjust the aiming of the up-lights (as shown at 0:25-0:27) to achieve the desired effect, highlighting trees or architectural features. Verify that all step lights and path lights are functioning correctly and providing adequate illumination. Finally, backfill the trenches and clean up the work area to complete the installation.

Goal: Ensure all lights are functional, properly adjusted, and the site is cleaned up
