Snoc is a Quebec manufacturing company located in Saint-Hyacinthe. Everything, from design to shipping, including production, that is to say the molding of parts, painting and assembly, is done inside the same enclosure. We invite you to watch the video , which shows the different stages of our manufacturing process.

Our light fixtures and other complementary accessories are made with premium quality aluminum, which gives them great durability.

Our products are coated with a high-intensity baked polyester powder paint to ensure one of the most durable finishes available on the market.

Our products are certified by ETL laboratories according to current CSA and UL standards

Our product catalogs are available for download right here or in hard copy at our retailers.

All our products are on sale at all the retailers indicated on our site. Click here to find the retailers closest to you!

Some products with the most popular finishes may be in stock. However, far too many options are offered for us to be able to stock all of our products. As soon as we receive the order you have placed with one of our retailers, we begin manufacturing. Production times are 10 to 20 working days.

The low voltage system (12V) is much easier to install and must be connected to a transformer sold separately. For the 120V system, we recommend that an electrician install it in order to comply with electrical standards.

If it is a 120V system, do not exceed the load supported by the circuit breaker in the electrical box. For a 12V system, the capacity of the transformer must not be exceeded. In addition, to compensate for current losses on the circuit and increase the life of the transformer, it is advisable to leave a power margin of about 10%. For example, the total wattage of all fixtures connected to a 100 watt transformer should not exceed 90 watts.

Our transformers can be installed indoors or outdoors. However, if you decide to install your transformer indoors, choose one that does not have a photocell.

To choose a transformer, you must first know the number of luminaires to be installed on the circuit and the wattage of each of these luminaires. The total of these watts, plus 50% for any additions, will provide you with the power needed for the transformer.

Our LED and incandescent landscape lighting luminaires can coexist on the same lighting system and on the same transformer. Just make sure you don't exceed the capacity of the transformer.

Snoc offers two models of submersible luminaires. These are products 0585 LV LD8 and 0586 HGST .

1. First check whether the transformer is well connected and whether there is power at the electrical outlet.
2. Next, check if the transformer is in the “ON” position.
3. Check if the transformer overload protection circuit breaker is tripped.
4. If your transformer has a photocell, it will not work in daylight.
5. Check the connection of the main power cable at the connection block to the transformer.
6. Check light bulbs.

This is probably a problem with your transformer's timer programming. If your transformer is equipped with a photocell, make sure the transformer is installed in an area with sufficient light to turn off the lights during the day.

The voltage drop along the main power cable usually explains why fixtures at the end of the circuit tend to light less brightly and appear to glow less than those near the transformer. To minimize voltage drop: keep power cable as short as possible or use more than one cable, use minimum 12 gauge wire, use lower wattage bulbs, use a transformer larger than the total circuit watts.

The bulb contact inside the socket is not good or the connector of the luminaire on the main cable is not installed correctly.

The circuit is probably overloaded. Reduce the total watts on the circuit, either by removing one or more light fixtures, using less wattage bulbs, or using a more wattage transformer.

There is probably a short circuit at the end of the main power cable or at the connection of the luminaires on the main cable.

An LED, or Light Emitting Diode, is an optoelectronic component capable of emitting light when an electric current passes through it. At SNOC, when you choose LED lighting, we install a lighting system in your luminaires that consists of a plate on which there is an integrated circuit and a variable number of LEDs. This system is an integral part of the luminaire.

Snoc LED lighting offers several benefits:
1. No more buying and replacing light bulbs.
2. LEDs have an exceptional lifespan. After 50,000 hours, they are still operating at 70% of their initial brightness.
3. Significant reduction in electricity consumption.
4. Significant reduction in light pollution, thanks to the directional flow of the LEDs.
5. Instant ignition even at -40°C.
6. Resistance to vibration and shock. LEDs are virtually unbreakable.
7. Environmental protection. LEDs emit no measurable ultraviolet rays, generate no electromagnetic fields, contain no gases and generate very little heat.

The type of lighting is substantially the same. The color temperature of our LED lighting systems being 3000K, the lighting is similar to that of an incandescent bulb whose color temperature is 2800K. On the other hand, Snoc's LED lighting system is always installed at the top of the luminaire; the light is thus directed downwards, where it is needed, unlike the bulb which emits light in all directions.

Our LEDs have an exceptional lifespan. After 50,000 hours, the LEDs will still operate at 70% of their original brightness.

The standard color temperature in our LED fixtures is 3000K. As for the intensity, it varies according to the application, as well as the type and format of the luminaire chosen. Refer to the description of each luminaire to find out about the possibilities.

The color will not change over time, and after 50,000 hours, Snoc's LED lighting system will still be at 70% of its original brightness.

Electricity consumption differs depending on the LED lighting system installed in the luminaire. It can vary between 2 watts and 25 watts approximately.

It is possible to add a dimmer to some Snoc LED luminaires, provided that it is a dimmer designed for LED lighting, such as the Lutron DVCL-153P dimmer or an equivalent model. Our 120V luminaires equipped with the following LED systems: LD (Essentials) / LD8, LD10 and LD20 (without converter) can be used with a dimmer.

There are no restrictions on the use of a timer with our LED fixtures.

One reason could be that some timers require a minimum of 40 watts to operate.

Our LED lighting systems are designed for use with 12V AC (alternating current) or 12V DC (direct current) transformers.

Our instruction sheets explaining how to install our products are available in PDF format on each product page.

We recommend using the services of an electrician or a professional in order to comply with the electrical standards that may apply depending on your place of residence.

The hardware provided to install the luminaire includes, among other things, a crosspiece and a grounding screw (MALT). The grounding is done by the crosspiece on which the ground screw is screwed, then by the nipple or the studs and the aluminum structure of the luminaire. Make sure, however, that a ground wire from the power supply is firmly attached under the ground screw supplied with our crosspiece. (Where a ground wire is supplied with the fixture, ensure that it is connected to the power supply ground wire.)

1. Connect all white wires (from power supply, light fixture and photocell) together.
2. Connect the black wire of the power supply cable with the black wire of the photocell.
3. Connect the black wire from the fixture to the red wire from the photocell.
