Installation and precautions of inground light

There are some important precautions for the installation and use of ground lamps to ensure their effectiveness and safety. The following are the basic steps and matters needing attention for the installation of ground lamps:

• Preparations before installation

Select the appropriate ground lamp: According to the usage occasion and brightness requirements, choose the suitable type of ground lamp. Common types include LED ground lights, which feature high brightness, long lifespan and low energy consumption.

Determine the installation location: Determine the installation location of the ground lamp, and be careful to avoid installing it in places that are frequently subjected to heavy pressure or collision.

Prepare tools and materials: including electric drills, cables, junction boxes, waterproof glue, installation brackets, etc.

• Installation steps

Determine the power supply location

Before installing the ground lights, it is necessary to confirm the direction of the power supply and cables. Ensure the stability of the power supply and that the cables can reach the required positions.

Dig and install the pit

According to the size and requirements of the lamps, dig a pit of appropriate size. The bottom of the pit should be flat to avoid water accumulation in the pit and ensure that the lamps have sufficient space for heat dissipation.

The depth of the installation pit needs to be determined based on the shape of the ground lamp and is usually slightly larger than the lamp itself.

Laying cables

Introduce the cable into the ground pit. Ensure that the cable joints are firmly connected and proper waterproof treatment is carried out.

Lamp installation

Place the ground lamp into the preset pit and ensure that the position of the lamp is fixed.

For some lamps, it may be necessary to install brackets to ensure the stability of the lamps.

Wiring

According to the wiring requirements of the lamp, connect the power cord properly. Pay attention to using insulating tape or waterproof connectors to protect the connection parts to prevent electric leakage or water infiltration.

After the connection is completed, use a voltmeter to check if the wiring is correct.

Waterproof treatment

Buried lights are usually used outdoors and require proper waterproof measures. The joints of the lamps, cable outlets and other parts should be sealed with waterproof glue to prevent water from entering.

Make sure the junction box is waterproof and all joints are tightly sealed.

Landfill and testing

After installation is completed, fill the pit to ensure that the lamps are not compressed by soil or other objects.

Finally, power on and test whether the lamp is working properly.

• Precautions for Use and maintenance

Avoid strong impacts: Buried lights are usually installed on sidewalks or in courtyards. It is necessary to prevent vehicles or heavy objects from directly pressing on the lamps.

Regular inspection: Regularly check whether the lamps are damaged and whether the circuits are aged to ensure the normal use of the lamps.

Keep clean: The outer shell of the lamp is prone to dust accumulation. Regularly wipe the surface of the lamp to maintain its brightness.

Pay attention to water resistance: If there is any damage or crack, repair or replace the lamp in time to prevent water from entering the circuit and ensure safety.

Avoid overloading: Ensure that the power cord matches the load and does not exceed the rated power of the lamp to prevent overloading from causing malfunctions.

• Common Problems and Solutions

The light is not working: Check if the power supply and wiring are normal. Check if there are any problems with the internal circuit of the lamp. Check for unstable voltage or power outages.

Water seepage: Inspect the joints and junction boxes of the lamps to ensure good sealing. If there is any leakage, it is necessary to recheck whether the sealing and waterproof glue treatment are in place.

Lamp damage: Check if there is any damage or crack on the exterior of the lamp, and repair or replace it in time.

• Conclusion

Although the installation process of ground lamps is relatively simple, safety and waterproofing measures must be strictly implemented, especially the waterproofing and stability of the wiring part. When installing, do not neglect any details to ensure that the lamps can operate stably and have a long service life.
