Precautions for Installing LED In-ground Lights

The housing of LED in-ground lights is made of high-purity aluminum alloy die-casting. The LED beads and board are filled with waterproof adhesive, and the cover is connected to the housing with a waterproof sealing strip, utilizing a dual safety and waterproofing process. Therefore, high-quality LED in-ground lights have excellent water and dust resistance. LED in-ground lights differ from other landscape lighting LEDs in their requirements for a higher waterproof rating. An IP67 rating is needed due to the diversity of installation environments. What preparations and precautions are needed before installation?

1. Before installation, check whether the LED in-ground light meets safety standards and is a product of a regular manufacturer, since it involves electrical safety issues. Products without proper certification should be used with caution.
2. Ensure the power supply is cut off before installing the LED in-ground light for safe installation;
3. Before installing LED in-ground lights, check whether the connections and all accompanying accessories of the LED in-ground light are complete. LED in-ground lights are fixed underground after installation, and disassembly can be relatively troublesome. If a lack of accessories is discovered after installation, disassembly sometimes requires destructive measures. Therefore, these checks should be made before installation. Typically, LED in-ground lights are DC24V or 12V and ensure safety through power supply transformation.
4. Before installing LED in-ground lights, dig a trench according to the installation size of the LED in-ground lights and fix the embedded parts with concrete. The embedded parts isolate the main body of the LED in-ground light from the soil, ensuring the lifespan of the LED in-ground light. Despite the good water resistance of LED in-ground lights, corrosive soil environments can still affect the lamp body.
5. Prior to installation, prepare a connection device with at least IP67 or IP68 rating for connecting the external power input and the light body's power wire. Moreover, the power wire of LED in-ground lights should use VDE-certified waterproof power cords to ensure the lifespan of the LED in-ground lights.
