From box to first light in four steps.

You’ll Need:

• A smartphone (iOS 18.0+ or Android 8.1+)
• The LIFX app (download from App Store or Google Play
• A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network (Most smart devices require 2.4 GHz. If your router combines 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, that’s usually fine.)
• Your Wi-Fi password
  

Important Notes:

• Keep your phone near the light during setup.
• Make sure Bluetooth is enabled.
• Ensure your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want the light to use.

Installation type (choose one)

• Low voltage — connects to an existing 12V outdoor lighting transformer. Best if you already have a low voltage garden lighting system installed.
• Mains powered — uses the LIFX Power Supply Unit (sold separately) plugged into a standard outlet. Best for new installs with no existing transformer.

If using low voltage

• Check your transformer has sufficient wattage available for the additional load
• Your system must be 12V with at least 33W allowance remaining after wiring calculations

If using mains powered (LIFX PSU)

• Each light uses 24W — ensure your total load is within the PSU limit
• Allow 10% tolerance for cable runs over 20m
• Use a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet
• Mount the PSU using adhesive, timber screws, or masonry anchors (drill 6.0mm holes, insert metal anchors, attach with included screws)
• For larger installs, use both PSU output connectors to spread the load and maintain brightness over distance

Mounting method (choose one)

• Ground spike — for garden beds and in-ground locations
• Mount plate — for solid surfaces such as wood, masonry, or pavers

Ground spike steps

1. Slot the Path light wire into the spike and let it hang loose.
2. Screw the spike into the Path light base until secure.
3. Press the spike firmly into the soil until fully underground with the light sitting on the surface. If the ground is hard, wet or dig the soil to soften it first.

Mount plate steps

1. Thread the cable through the large hole in the centre of the mount plate.
2. Attach the mount to the surface — screws only for wood; for masonry, drill two 1/4" holes, insert the provided anchors, then install the screws.
3. Lower the Path light onto the mount, line up the notches, and twist to lock in place.

Connecting the wires

1. Clamp the cable to your low voltage system wire, or connect to your LIFX PSU using the included cables.
2. Connect the other end to the wire on the Path light, line up the two sides, and screw the cap over the join tightly to ensure a waterproof seal.
3. Cap any unused connector ports — never leave a port uncapped.
