Mark the garden light route with a can of spray paint.
Dig at a 12-inch deep trench along the entire length of this garden light route.
Lay the light fixtures along the road, spacing the fittings.
Lay cable along the length of the trench to an electric outlet located 10 feet from the lighting fixture.
Switch the power to the outlet off. That power is off using a circuit expert.
Mount a transformer to the outlet.
Strip 1/2-inch on the finish near the transformer from the conclusion of this 12-gauge cable. Loosen the terminal screws onto the base of the transformer. Slide the wire that is stripped under the terminal screws. Tighten the screws across the wire.
Stand the light fixtures. Examine the spacing until the base of the light fixture will be flush with the garden surface and push the stake of this light fixture to the floor. Repeat this process are set up.
Independent the connector halves attached to the lighting fixture. Twist the top of the connector over the 12-gauge wire. Twist the bottom half over the opposite side of this 12-gauge wire. Until you hear a click, push the two connector halves together. The connector pliers are made to pierce the power wire to create contact. Repeat this process are connected to the cable.
Turn on the power to the electric outlet.
Plug the transformer. Assess each light to ensure power flow. Unplug the transformer if power flow is not current, separate the connector halves and reconnect them. Where the link was attempted to protect the integrity of this wire, wrap electrical tape around the wire.
Lay connectors and the 12-gauge cable . Bury the cable and connectors. Change the depth of the wire to prevent pulling and tilting of the light fixture.
