Ground Lights Installation Instructions

Ground lights are perfect for path lighting or bushes and trees. You will need to know which type of ground lights you want to proceed with the installation process. 

How to Install Garden Lights

Step 1: Decide Where to Install the Lights

Measure the distance between the lights and mark out a space that will cover your garden area. Then, you can go for adding some extra room if you need it later on. Cut a 4-inch diameter hole in the center of this area. This will need to be at least 6 inches deep.

Step 2: Put in the Bulbs

The next step is to put in your bulbs. Use some waterproof sealant around the pot where you cut it, and then push your lights into the holes until they are about 2 inches down.

Step 3: The Ground Wire

This step involves running some cable from the lights to an outlet that can be a close-by switch box (make sure it is not too far away). From there, attach the cable to your garden lights. You can also use this section to connect your light sensor for automatic operation when it gets dark. Step 4: Put the Lids Back on

The next step is to put back the lids and seal them with some silicone. Finally, you can use a piece of screen to cover the hole if any insects decide to come through it during nighttime.

Step 5: Test It Out

You now need to test your garden lights and make sure they are working correctly. Then, when you are happy with them, pack them away for the night or until you need to use them again.

Step 6: Enjoy The Garden!

The final step is to sit back and enjoy your garden spaces. You will love how these lights bring a warm glow to the area that invites people to sit and relax.

Enjoy your garden lights, and don't forget to turn them on every night for a significant effect! You can also use the same method to install light sensors, as well as different colored bulbs.
