Product Overview
The Red Dot K861BR is a wall-mount spot light built for above-ground, low-voltage-labor installation: only three wire connections are required, and the fixture pairs with a PVC ground tube and an aluminum mounting tube cap that houses and protects the wire connection, eliminating the need to pour concrete for ground-installed applications. It runs on standard 120V household voltage.
The bronze finish is intended to blend into landscape and deck settings, and the fixture is rated for low-maintenance indoor/outdoor use in environments with moisture, dirt, dust, corrosion, or rough service. It accepts an R20 lamp up to 100W maximum on a porcelain medium (E-26) base; the lamp is not included.
Compatible Applications
- Landscape and deck accent or spot lighting
- Ground-installed wall or stake-mount spot lighting
- Low-maintenance outdoor lighting in moisture-, dirt-, or corrosion-prone environments
- General residential and light commercial exterior spot lighting
Before Ordering – Verify
- Fixture material is listed inconsistently in the manufacturer's own documentation – "die-cast aluminum" in the product description and bullets, "Die Cast Zinc" in the specification table. Confirm the correct material with Thomas & Betts before publishing a material claim.
- Lamp is not included. Order an R20 lamp separately, 100W maximum, medium (E-26) base.
- This is a 120V line-voltage fixture, not a low-voltage (12V) landscape fixture – confirm the circuit before wiring.
- No lens or cover material is specified in the source datasheet beyond "with Cover" in the catalog description – do not claim a specific lens material (e.g. tempered glass) unless confirmed.
- Ground installation accessories (PVC ground tube, aluminum mounting tube cap, wire connectors) are referenced in the product bullets but not listed with separate part numbers in this datasheet – confirm whether these ship included with K861BR or are separate accessories.
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- De-energize the circuit before installing or servicing the fixture.
- This fixture operates on 120V household voltage – follow standard line-voltage wiring practices, not low-voltage landscape wiring practices.
- Do not exceed the 100W maximum R20 lamp rating.
- For ground-installed applications, follow the manufacturer's above-ground wire connection method; all connections should be made above ground per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Confirm local electrical code requirements for outdoor line-voltage fixture installation.
Compliance
- UL Listed, Standard UL E51152.
- UNSPSC 39111605 (Landscape lighting); IGCC 3908 (Landscape lighting).
- All specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer; the current Thomas & Betts published specification governs.
