-Do not install on walls or vertical surfaces

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A LOCATION CLOSE TO YOUR 

CABINET SO YOU CAN REFER TO THEM AT A LATER TIME.
We recommend you read through these instructions entirely before starting your installation in 
order to help you understand all the steps and options pertaining to your particular installation.

The low voltage portable xenon light may be installed inside or under a kitchen cabinet, or other 
built-in furniture when: 1) The low voltage Class 2 power supply is located outside the cabinet and 
is not concealed; and 2) The line voltage (120V) power supply cord is not concealed or run through 
openings in the cabinet, walls, ceilings, or floors. This requirement does not apply to the wiring 
between the cabinet light and the power unit.The National Electrical Code (NEC) does not permit 
cords to be concealed where damage to insulation may go unnoticed. To prevent fire danger, do 
not run cord behind walls, ceilings, soffits, or cabinets where it may be inaccessible for 
examination. Cords should be visually examined periodically and immediately replaced when any 
damage is noted

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This portable lamp has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a feature to reduce 
the risk of electric shock. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit 
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use 
with an extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Read entire installation procedure before you begin.

Relamp only with a 12V, 10W or less xenon bulb with G4 base.

Mounting Preparation Instructions

Fig. 1

1

Remove the lens cover (bezel) from the xenon light by twisting 
the bezel counter-clockwise 

(Fig. 1). Be careful not to drop the 

lens, which can break.

Determine the locations where you want the xenon light(s) to be mounted, making sure the 
cords can reach the next subsequent Xenon light 

(Fig. 2)

Loosen the screw on the switch body, and separate the halves of the switch body. Make sure 
not to lose the screw and small nut. 

(See Fig. 1)

In the area of the line cord where the switch is to be placed, cut a 5/8” (1.5 cm) slit in the 
middle of the cord as shown 

(See Fig. 2, 3 and 4)

3

Place the cord in the hollow half of the switch body as shown 

(Fig 5). Make sure the cut sections of the wire do not touch 
each other.

Put the other half of the switch body back on, and squeeze 
the two halves together so the contact pins inside the switch 
pierce the insulation on the cut wire 

(Fig 6). Replace the 

attachment screw and nut, and tighten the switch body 
back together.

Line Transformer

12V/Low Voltage Cord

Determine the location where you want the xenon light(s) to be 
mounted, making sure the transformer wiring and housing will 
reach the nearest outlet. Using a pencil or awl mark the 
locations of the screw holes by holding the light head against 
the mounting surface as shown (

Fig. 3). Pre-drill holes in the 

mounting surface with a 1/16” (1.6mm) drill bit.

IMPORTANT: Once the connector plugs are attached, they 

cannot be removed. If you plan to route the wires coming 

from the heads through any additional cabinet walls or 

surfaces, it is best to do the routing first, since routing holes 

can be kept to a minimum size prior to attaching the 

connectors. Install the plastic connector plugs over the 
connection contacts on each head as shown (

Fig. 1). For 

routing of wires and power cords, we recommend following 

inside corners and edges for the neatest appearance, and to keep cords out of the way of 
other items.

Once the light heads are mounted to the cabinet surface, clip 
the connectors together as shown (

Fig. 2). To remove the 

connector, depress the tab on the latching mechanism and pull 
the connector away from the receptacle. 

Route the transformer power connectors to the individual 
heads. If routing has to be done through adjoining cabinet 
walls, you will need to drill 3/4 in (1.91 cm). holes through 
cabinet walls in order to route the power plugs to the individual 
head locations (

Fig. 3). Do NOT route the 120V power supply  

cord through fixed cabinet walls.

After the power connector wires have been routed and in place, 
you can use the plastic nail-in wire guides to keep the wires 
neatly in place and prevent them from sagging (

Fig. 4).

Choose a convenient, easy-to-reach location on the line cord 
to install the line cord switch. Mark the location on the smooth 
side of the cord. 

You will notice your line cord has one ribbed side and one 
smooth side. The ribbed side is the neutral side of the wire.

Cut through the smooth non-ribbed side of the line cord. CAUTION: DO NOT cut or damage 
the insulation on the continuous side of the wire.

Proceed to either 

Surface Mounting Installation or Recessed Mounting Installation based 

on your desired method of installation.

You can trace the line voltage (120V) cord along the bottom 
surface of the cabinet. Do NOT attempt to conceal the 120V 
power supply cord inside your cabinets.

Mount remaining heads following Steps 1-3. Attach the re-lamping label (included in your 
hardware kit) next to one of the heads for future reference when re-lamping.

Surface Mounting Installation

Power Connections

Split the cord 1/8 in. from the end after you have adjusted the length to the outlet (

Fig. 2)

Insert the blunt cut end of the power cord into the cavity on the inside end of the plug (

Fig. 3). 

Make sure that the ribbed side of the wire is in the position shown below.

2

If attached, slide the cover off the power plug as shown (

Fig. 1). You can trim your 120V 

supply cord to length to reduce excess cord length to your outlet.

1

Press the wire firmly into the plug and while holding the wire down, slide the cover back onto 
the plug body (

Fig. 4). Slide the cover completely over the plug so none of the wire inside the 

plug is visible (

Fig. 5). The cover will have a tight fit.

Power Plug Instructions

Bulb Replacement Instructions

Your fixture is made from quality materials that will last for many, many years with minimum 
care. You may want to periodically clean the diffuser, or interior of the fixture using a mild, 
non-abrasive glass cleaner and soft cloth. Do 

NOT use solvents, or cleaners containing abrasive 

agents. When cleaning the inside of the fixture, make sure you have the power turned off, and do 
not spray liquid cleaner directly onto the bulb, socket, transformer or wiring.

Cleaning Instructions

Switch Installation

Recessed Mounting Installation

Please refer to the 

MOUNTING PREPARATION INSTRUCTION section for the first three (3) steps for 

surface mount installation. This section only explains the mounting of the light fixtures, not 
supplying the power to them.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TEST YOUR SYSTEM WITHOUT THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR PLUGS INSTALLED! 
YOU CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE TRANSFORMER IF THE METAL TERMINALS ON LAMPS ARE 
EXPOSED AND SHORTED. DOING SO WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Your xenon lights can be recessed mounted into portable cabinets. Recessed mounting into fixed 
kitchen cabinets is 

NOT recommended. Refer to the MOUNTING PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS 

section for the first three (3) steps for installation. 

Fixtures being plugged into a switch controlled wall outlet will not require a line switch to be 
installed. However, if the outlet is not switched, the line cord switch should be installed to switch 
the light on and off. The line switch included in the hardware kit may differ from the one in the 
illustrations, but it will be installed using the same basic instructions.

You can trace the low voltage (12V) cord along the bottom 
surface of the cabinet or inside the cabinet (

Fig. 1). To trace 

your low voltage cord inside your cabinets, you must drill an 
additional 1/4 in (6.35 mm), hole as shown in the illustration. 
Do 

NOT attempt to conceal your transformer or the 120V 

power supply cord inside your cabinets.

While feeding both wires attached to the reflector cup 
through the housing, hold the reflector cup over the 
pre-drilled holes you made earlier in the instructions (

Fig. 2). 

Using three (3) of the #2 x 1 in. screws (included), secure the 
light reflector cup body to the mounting surface as shown. 
Route the wires under the notched area of the housing. 

NOTE: Make sure your wires are exiting on the side you want 
them to. 

DO NOT install without skirt in place.

Re-attach the lens bezel to the light head by aligning the 
three (3) attachment legs in the cover with the 
corresponding openings in the head (

Fig. 3). Turn the lens 

clockwise to lock it in place. Do 

NOT operate the xenon 

lights without the lens bezels in place.

Mark the center point you wish the fixtures to be installed. 
Using a hole saw, drill a 2-1/8 in (5.40 cm). diameter hole 
through the mounting surface (

Fig. 1).

Using three (3) of the #2 x 1/2 in. screws, secure the head to 
the mounting surface as shown (

Fig. 2). Make sure you trace 

the wires from the xenon light through the hole opening 
prior to attaching the light to the mounting surface.

Mount remaining heads following Steps 1-3. Attach the re-lamping label (included in your 
hardware kit) next to one of the heads for future reference when replacing.
