The Microstar^TM can be used for indoor, outdoor and submersible applications, making it ideal for interior and exterior architectural emphasis, marine, aquacultural or horticultural uses. The full moon brilliance is ideal for energy conservation, directed lighting, mood lighting or in an emergency situation. It does not generate heat allowing its use in water, near plants or human touch.

It is potted with epoxy in a rugged yet highly polished, corrosion resistant 316 steel housing. The Microstar^TM can be mounted flush or raised into sheetrock, railings, plastic, rock, metal, wood, etc. It can be used individually, clustered or strung.

Don't let its size fool you, this small device will enlighten any situation. The Microstar^TM is just the light you need for hundreds of uses and applications.

SPECS: Measures 1/4" x 7/8"; Grommet - 1/4" ID, 1/2" OD, 3/8" Groove

MicroStar^TM (S0801) is designed to operate on 12 Volts DC. It will work with voltages ranging from 8 to 15 volts DC. A second model (S0802) is designed to operate on 24 Volts DC. It can be wired into household 110 AC via a transformer. A MicroStar^TM can be switched on by timer, photo cell or manually. Assuming a 35 degree beam angle, illumination would be a circle of 15" at 2 feet and a circle of 22.5" at 3 feet.

Each 12 volt MicroStar^TM draws 0.02 amps or conservatively 0.33 watts. (i.e. 15 MicroStars^TM in a circuit (parallel) would draw 0.3 amps or 3.6 watts of power) One circuit with 25 MicroStars will consume under 10 watts of power.

A recommended cable is Beldon 8442 or equivalent; 22 gauge 2 conductor in a common outer insulation. Typically, the feed wire to a group of MicroStars^TM should be 20 gauge wire. 22 gauge can be used for long runs to individual lights or groups up to 5. The type of wire is dictated by the environment of the application. Moisture, UV exposure and temperature will determine the appropriate type of wire and its insulation. Depending on the application, either speaker wire, bell wire, phone wire and low voltage control wire can be used.

The LED in the MicroStar^TM will only work with correct polarity; the red wire connects to positive and the black to negative. The lights should always be connected in parallel with correct polarity. Butt and closed end connectors can be used as well as soldered connections. Protection of the connections should be considered in adverse environments to avoid corrosion.

The MicroStars^TM have a life cycle of about 100,000 hours. Depending on usage, MicroStars^TM might ultimately have to be replaced. To prepare for this, care should be given during the first installation to allow excess wire for the first light's removal and replacement. If you have any uncertainties or questions please get the advice of someone with the proper electrical background.

Installation Mounting Options

	< For flush mount, drill 1/4" hole & use grommet as locking nut to secure fitting in panels up to 9/16" thick. In thicker panels, use bedding compound.
	< For thin panel or tubing, drill 3/8" hole & use grommet to hold unit in place & seal hole.
