INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Use eye protection when using power tools. Do not install within 10 feet of a pool, fountain or spa.
TRANSFORMER INSTALLATION:
1. Start by determining and marking where each fixture is to be installed. Next, determine the sequence in which
the main line will run. The fixtures should run in sequence and the total wattage of each run should not exceed
the transformer’s circuit.
Total wattage is determined by multiplying feet of strip lights by wattage in each foot. (6 feet with 1.5 watts
per foot, 6x1.5 = 9 watts per 6’ strip). Refer to your specific transformer to determine the circuit’s allowable
wattage.
2. Using the installation instructions that are provided the the transformer, mount transformer to the house and
install main power feed line. This line should be a UV-resistant, UL-approved 12-2 low voltage cable with a
100’ max run and no more than 250 watts. If run is more than 100’ and over 250 watts, use 10-2 or 8-2 wire
to carry the load. Be sure main line is long enough to reach the first lighting fixture.
3. Drill a 3/8” hole through the deck surface and feed main line through to the under side of the deck. Next, run
the main wire to your first fixture. Secure the main wire using insulated staples or cable tacks.
TIP: For faster installation, pre-wire the main run before decking is installed.
1. Measure the distance between the inside of the posts to determine the center of
the rail. Find the center of the housing and match it to the center of the top rail.
Place the housing against the rail with the opening slit down and use this to
locate
the position of the holes that will need to be predrilled.
2. Each housing comes predrilled with two holes on each end. Once the
housing is laid against the rail, mark the outer edge of both holes on each end
of the housing.
Remove the housing from the rail and predrill the outer holes using a 3/16” bit.
The outer holes will be used to fasten housing to railing and inner hole will be
used to thread the wiring through the rail.
TIP: If needed, use two-sided tape or other similar, light adhesive to hold housing, wires, etc., while you are
working.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: This installation method is intended for installation with metal railing. Certain steps may be different for
wood or composite installation. Strip lights can also be connected to wood or composite railing using the clear
brackets included. Each bracket will require two small screws (not included). This fastening method will not work
on metal rails.
