These products may represent a possible shock or fire hazard if improperly installed or attached in any
way. Products should be installed in accordance with these instructions, current electrical codes and/or
the current National Electric Code (NEC).
WARNING:
Disconnect supply power from the source prior to installation. This product must be installed by a

APPLICATION / USE:
This product is designed for recessed mounting only. Appropriate installations include mounting into a
concrete slab or retaining wall using the black PVC sleeve included with the fixture; into the earth using the
black PVC sleeve included; or into an interior or exterior wall with or without the black PVC sleeve. For any
outdoor or other wet location installation where the PVC sleeve is used vertically, the PVC sleeve must have proper
drainage to avoid immersion in water! The Torcia In-Ground Light may come into contact with water, but may
not be immersed in water.
LAYOUT AND SELECTION OF RECOMMENDED CONSTANT VOLTAGE DRIVER
The Torcia In-Ground Light (1.4W each) requires a regulated 12V driver with a DC output.
American Lighting recommends the following drivers as a function of how many fixtures are attached:
NOTE: FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS THE CONSTANT VOLTAGE DRIVER MUST BE ENCLOSED IN A WATER-
PROOF ENCLOSURE. All conductors and power connections must be installed per current state and local
electrical codes. Drivers must be mounted properly inside enclosure and also must have clearance above
and around for proper heat dissipation.
IN-GROUND / SOIL INSTALLATION:
Note: Debris must be kept away from the lens to allow proper operation and optimize light output. Inspect
the installed fixture periodically to ensure that the lens is kept clean and free of dirt, dust, plants, leaves and
any other kind of obstruction. Adhering to a regular maintenance schedule is advised.
Torcia Lights have certain other installation requirements and considerations:
1. Provide proper drainage for PVC sleeve so that fixtures will not be immersed in water (see also next page).
2. Do not locate fixtures in low areas where water will collect.
3. Make sure trim is flush to 1/8” above finish grade to prevent water from accumulating on lens.
4. In turf applications, it is recommended to keep grass away from fixture using borders or concrete or some
kind of landscape material so that lawn equipment will not damage the fixture or its installation.
