Frequently Asked Questions

You can only connect a dimmer if this possibility is stated explicitly in the specifications for the outdoor light. Click here to view all dimmable lights in our product range.

Only if the in-lite fixture expressly indicates that it can be connected to 220 or 230 volts. Refer to the installation recommendations for the product in our product list or the manual.

Yes, you can. Special extension cords are available in 1, 2 and 3 meters.  We recommend that you extend the cable up to a maximum of 3 meters, using as few extension cords as possible. Also watch this video.

Of course! All our transformers can be used outdoors. However, you must consider a few things when installing the transformer. Visit the Installation Tips page and read the manual for the specific transformer.

No, that is not possible. The LED electronics in particular are sensitive to interference or fluctuations in the system. We remind you that when your lighting is connected to a system that includes products that are not from in-lite, this will void the warranty. We can no longer guarantee the quality of our products in such cases.

No, you do not. The Easy-Lock connector can be installed above or below ground without any problem. The special gel in the connector protects the connection against moisture and other external factors. Read more about this on the Installation Tips page.

That is an option, but not necessary. Our transformers are equipped with a light sensor that automatically switches the lighting on as it gets dark. Read more on the Installation Tips page or refer to the transformer manual.

No, that is a misunderstanding. The amount of light produced by an outdoor lamp depends upon the type of light source (LED, halogen, incandescent bulb) and the power (number of watts). Read all about the advantages of 12 volt outdoor lighting here.

Refer to the manual for the transformer or watch this video. For more installation tips, visit the Installation Tips page.

The in-lite cable is easy to connect to the HUB-50 and HUB-100. Cut a few centimeters off the end of one side of the cable so that you have two cable ends. Strip around 8 mm from both cable ends using a cable stripper. Next, twist the copper wires together, making sure there are no loose wires. Click the Easy-Connect clip on the cable entry upwards and place one end in the input. Click the cable into place by pushing the Easy-Connect clip downwards, checking it by pulling slightly on the cable to make sure it is secure. Now do the same thing with the other end of the cable. If desired, you can connect one extra cable to the transformer. Both cables will be jointly controlled by the transformer. See the manual for detailed instructions.

Important: Did you purchase an in-lite cable with cable lugs and want to connect the cable to the HUB-50 or HUB-100? Cut off the entire cable lugs and strip the cable as described above or see the manual for the transformer.

in-lite lighting is connected to the low voltage cable using the in-lite Easy-Lock and mini-connector. The installation tips page includes some helpful videos about installing our system. For specific installation instructions, refer to the installation recommendations and product manual.

This depends on the total installation value (VA) of the fixtures in your lighting plan. The transformer must have sufficient output for controlling the lighting. For more information, see our blog entry on the transformer.

You can find out how to install a transformer on our installation tips page. You can also refer to the manual of the specific transformer.

You can read how to make a cable plan in our blog.

That depends upon the capacity (watts) of the transformer and the electric potential (VA) of the lamps that you want to connect to the transformer. More information can be found on the Installation Tips page or our blog about the cable plan.

Contact our dealers for more information. They can help you or refer you to an expert landscaper.

Yes, all in-lite fixtures, from LED to Halogen, can be combined together. Remember to keep the load on the transformer in mind as well as the maximum cable lengths for optimal lighting. Read more on the Installation Tips page and in our transformer and cable manuals.

First, have a look at the page about the in-lite 12 volt system. We also recommend that you watch the videos on the Installation Tips page. Always refer to the manual and installation recommendations with our products for specific installation instructions.

No, no technical knowledge is required to install in-lite lighting. For an explanation of our system, visit the in-lite 12 volt system page and the Installation Tips page.

Yes, our system is completely safe. It is also safe for playing children and pets that dig. More advantages can be found on the 12 volt outdoor lighting page.

Our transformers are equipped with a light sensor that automatically switches the lighting on as it gets dark. Read more on the Installation Tips page or refer to the transformer manual.

You can easily install outdoor lighting based on a 12 volt low voltage system yourself and it is completely safe. More information is available on the 12 volt outdoor lighting page.

Easy-Locks are available through our dealers. If they do not have the item in stock, they can order it from us.

That is an option, but not necessary. You can use the timer on the transformer to adjust how long the lighting stays on. Watch the “Setting the transformer” video or refer to the transformer manual.
