The EZ YARD DOTs give a sense of security during the night as well as illuminating the desert features of this southern New Mexico home

The EZ YARD DOT Kit has the capability of being set on a timer, and are made with Cree LED lights to reduce energy consumption which won’t have a significant effect on the electric bill!

The nice thing about the EZ YARD DOT Kit is there is always room for growth. You can expand as many lights as you want (See transformer capacity in step four.) All you would have to do is upgrade the transformer that has the capability to support more EZ YARD DOTs.

EZ YARD DOT Kit Contents:

STEP 1

Make sure the power source is accessible to where you will install the EZ YARD DOT Kit.
STEP 2

Measure the distance you would like set between each EZ YARD DOT.

Measuring the precise distance may be a better choice for the DIYers who seek exact distance. (Although it is pictured here, do not push the EZ YARD DOT into the ground with the connectors facing the edge you are installing it to. Face them the opposite direction of what is pictured. This EZ YARD DOT was set like this to plan the installation process.)

OR simply gauge the distance where the EZ YARD DOTs look good. It’s that easy.
STEP 3

Dig the trench along the route your EZ YARD DOTs will light.

Use a small gardening shovel or any tool to dig the trench. In this image, we used a pry bar, and it worked perfectly.
STEP 4

With the DEKOR Lighting Photocell Timer, you have full control over the automated timing mechanism and have the capability to control the EZ YARD DOT Kit using your Android or iphone with the Wi-Fi Component.



The power supply / transformer included with this kit supports up to 30 EZ YARD DOTs with standard LEDs or 20 EZ YARD DOTs with NexGen LEDs.

Make sure the plug direct bury cable is secure to the transformer. This creates a waterproof seal.
STEP 5

During this step, we forced one of the connectors in. This bent the elements inside the cable. So, do not force the connectors when plugging them in to avoid damage. The connectors should slide easily in. If the connectors are not sliding in easily, make sure you are matching the grove with the indention as pictured above.

Each light must be linked to one another to receive power from the transformer. During this step, test the lights to see if they are working and if they are all receiving power.
STEP 6

During the installation, most of the lights went into the ground fairly easily, but some were difficult to get in so check out the tips we have below when dealing with resistant, rocky surfaces.

This EZ YARD DOT is 100% installed. It is in the ground, receiving power, the connectors are away from the sidewalk, is flush along the surface, and it looks GREAT!

This products is made for all outdoor climates. It can withstand extreme heat and cold!

We positioned the dowel in the spot where we wanted to install the EZ YARD DOT. We then took a hammer to drive the dowel deep into the ground. We were working with rocky ground, but it had just rained the night before. This worked to our benefit because we installed these at a southern New Mexico home where the ground is often times hard and dry. If you are working with gravel landscaping such as the type pictured, make sure no rocks fall into the pilot hole. They will interfere with the EZ YARD DOT installation if they are blocking the hole.
Drive the tool of your choice deep into the ground where you want your EZ YARD DOT. This will create a pilot hole and allow you to drive the EZ YARD DOT into the ground easier.

And remember to keep the connectors facing away from the edge you are installing to.
STEP 7

Do not worry about water damage. This product is 100% waterproof!

Remember the EZ YARD DOTs can be installed in grass lawns and can be covered again with mulch or a ground cover!
