Lunar 3 LED Spot Kit – 12v

The Lunar is a budget-priced adjustable IP68 spotlight with a plastic body and MR16 lamp holder for use
with a 3w led lamp. It has a clear lens, a 5m cable with IP44 Plug & Play connector and a clip-on glare shield for lighting
small focal points, or for use as an underwater spotlight in fountains and waterfalls. This 3-spot kit comprises 3 spotlights,
3 Ground Mounting spikes, 3 MR16 3w warm white led lamps with 36 degree beam angle, a 12va transformer rated to supply the
3 led lamps and a 3 way connector which fits to the transformer output and allows for connection of the three spotlight cables.
As mounting requirements may vary, if you wish to use a mounting base, extension pole or a tube bracket to allow mounting
on fountain head pipes please order separately. Lunar is designed for easy installation with the minimum
of tools with the Patilo range of Plug & Play transformers, connectors, extension cables and junction boxes.

12v Installation – See Instructions & Data Sheets Tab

Choosing the style of a product is only part of the equation you must also think of where that product will be used and how
it will be installed. All exterior lighting products on our web site have an IP rating appropriate to each light fitting
and its intended application and is therefore fit for purpose. Water ingress is the enemy for outdoor lighting and the
products supplied are only as good as the installation. The weakest point is always cable joints. All joints must be
made 100% watertight and this can be done using IP68 cable connectors and/or waterproof junction boxes which are then
filled with a re-enterable liquid gel mix. All joints where possible should be made above ground for easy access and
reduced water ingress. When installing ground buried lights adequate drainage systems should be put in place especially
in clay-based soil areas. If possible, use ground surface spike lights rather than a buried light.  Care must be
taken with the cable runs and not to install transformers more than 30 metres away from the furthest fitting to avoid
any voltage drop. Cabling should be 2 core Rubber HO5RN-F or HO7RN-F and not PVC. PVC leads to capillary action over
time especially with UV degradation. Always check the correct type of transformer you need for your fittings. We recommend
wiring in parallel with Toroidal AC and LED DC drivers. But when using Milliamp mA LED drivers, they should always be
wired in series. Plug and Play kits are simply a case of daisy chaining the fittings via plug and play junction boxes,
connectors and extension cables using a 2-pin plug arrangement. These Plug and Play fittings should only be used for
small domestic projects due to voltage drop over 5 metres.

All exterior lights must be installed by a certified NIC EIC electrician and should be signed off by an electrician with
Part P certification. There are a selection of waterproof jointing kits and boxes available on this web site.

Lamp Colour (Kelvins) 

The colour of a lamp is defined as a measurement called kelvins. A standard GLS light bulb in your house would be 2,700 kelvins
which is in the warm colour spectrum and a lamp with 5,000 kelvins would be at the very cold white spectrum.
