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 — you'll need at least 27W allowance remaining after wiring calculations
• Your system must be 12V

If using mains powered (LIFX PSU)

• Each spotlight uses 24W when used with the PSU — 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 other in-ground locations
• Mounting plate / stand — for solid surfaces such as wood, masonry, or pavers

Ground spike steps

1. Find your desired location and firmly press the mounting stake into the soil until fully underground. If the ground is hard, wet or dig the soil to soften it — a rubber mallet can help.

Mount plate steps

1. Position the mount plate and choose your angle before screwing down — the light head is adjustable but it's easier to plan ahead.
2. For wood or soft surfaces, attach using the provided screws. For masonry, mark the screw positions, drill two 1/4" holes, insert the provided anchors, then install the screws.

Attaching the light (all mounting types)

1. Ensure the screw thread on the base is free of dirt and debris.
2. Attach the spotlight to the base by screwing it on and twisting until secure.
3. Optional — add the extension pole between the base and the light for extra height.
4. Adjust the head angle by gently lifting or lowering it to point where you want.

Connecting the wires

1. Clamp the provided 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 Spotlight, line up the two connector 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.
