ank you for purchasing a Toro Twilight Golf Post Light (TWGP). e lights are ideal for

illuminating practice putting greens, among other things. e Setup Guide is provided to assist

you with determining the number of lights needed, how to lay them out properly, make all wire

connections, install them into the ground, and make light adjustments.

Guidelines

• Connect no more than 6 TWGP lights to each

wire run.

• Maximum 4 wire runs per hub.

• Bring all wire runs into a TWGP-HUB (close

to the postlight installation) and splice together

using the supplied water-proof connections.

From the TWGP-HUB, run a single “Home

Run” cable to the transformer location.

• Lights should be roughly 15’ apart.

Determine the Number of Lights Needed and the Spacing

Directions Example

1. Use a measuring wheel to determine the length of the perimeter of the area to

be illuminated.

Perimeter measures 352’.

2. e lights should be roughly 15’ apart. Divide the perimeter by 15. Divide 352 by 15.

Equals 23.46.

3. Round that number UP to the nearest whole number.

at is the number of lights needed.

Round 23.46 up to 24.

4. Divide the perimeter by the number of lights.

at is how far apart the lights should be installed.

Divide 352 by 24.

Equals: 14.7´.

Notes Before Installing

Before installing the Twilight Golf Post lights, it is important to keep two things in mind during the installation planning.

Direction

Before backlling the hole, rotate the STAKE in the

ground so the notch points towards the center of the

desired illuminated area.

WARNING: Do not rotate light post once

inserted as this may damage the unit.

(See Figures 8 and 9 for lamp head adjustment.)

Level

Before backlling, use a bubble level to conrm the TWGP-

STAKE is level in the ground. is ensures the light will come out

of the ground at 90˚.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Turn

off power before servicing. Install all post

lights 10 feet (3.05m) or more from a pool,

spa, or fountain.

1. Remove sod and excavate a 12” deep (below

aeration depth) trench for the UF supply line

cable or conduit and lightpost. The lightpost

requires a 10” diameter hole to facilitate

installation to a depth of 18”.

2. Feed the incoming UF supply line cable or

conduit through the slanted bottom of the

lightpost (Figure 5-1). Provide 30” of wire

from the bottom to allow for future servicing.

If wiring multiple light fixtures in a series, make

sure you pull the second (continuing) supply

wire through the lightpost.

3. Connect the supply wires to the ToroCap’s wires

using the included wire nuts (Figure 5-2).

4. Encase all wire connections in the supplied

water-proof grease caps (Figure 5-3).

5. Push all wires back into the Landscape

LightPost and slide ToroCap back on.

6. Align holes on ToroCap with holes on the

Lightpost. Start all three included screws, then

tighten. (Figure 6).

7. Place the now wired LightPost into the

excavated trench and position to the desired

height. If wiring multiple fixtures, adjust the

incoming and outgoing supply wires or conduit

at the bottom of the LightPost so the wires or

conduit do not bind.

8. Open the cover-flap on the ToroCap. The

Twilight Golf Post Light is keyed with an

alignment screw. Align with the slot on the base

and insert the light (Figure 7).

(See Figures 8 and 9 for lamp head

adjustments.)

Wiring Inside the Hub

1. Feed all wires into the slanted end of the hub giving 12 of slack to allow for future servicing (Figure 16).

2. Strip 1/2” o each transformer wire and feed into an aluminum terminal lug.

Tighten with supplied Allen wrench (Figure 10).

3. Strip one end of each of the 5-amp fuse wires 1½˝. Twist the exposed ends together (up to four) (Figure 11).

4. Into the same side as the transformer wire of the terminal lug, feed the bundled wires into the other hole. Tighten with an

Allen wrench (Figure 11). Trim excess.

5. Push the wired terminal lug deep into the supplied grease cap (Figure 12).

6. Pull to tighten the zip-tie on the grease cap to secure the terminal lug. (Figure 13).

7. Twist the other end of the 5-amp fuse wire with one of the brown wires from the light runs (Figure 14).

8. Feed the two wires into a provided wire nut (Figure 14).

9. Push the wire nut deep into the provided grease cap and close the latch (Figure 14).

10. Repeat steps 7-9 for the remaining light run wires.

11. Now, twist the remaining brown TWGP lines together (Figure 15).

12. Insert the wired bundle into the other terminal lug, same direction as the transformer line.

Tighten with an Allen wrench (Figure 12).

13. Push the wired terminal lug deep into the supplied grease cap (Figure 12).

14. Tighten the zip-tie on the grease cap to secure the terminal lug (Figure 13).

15. Secure wire bundle to bottom of the hub lid using the pre-attached zip-tie (Figure 16).

16. Install lid on hub.
