INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Use eye protection when using power tools. Do not install within 10 feet of a pool, fountain or spa.
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 ex-
ceed the transformer’s circuit.
Total wattage is determined by multiplying # of fixtures by wattage of bulb in each fixture. (9 lights with 7 watt
bulbs, 9x7 = 63 watts total). Refer to your specific transformer to determine the circuit’s allowable wattage.
2. Using the installation instructions that are provided with 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 the 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.
STAIR LIGHT INSTALLATION:
4.
Determine where the fixture is to be installed and make a reference mark for drilling the 3” round hole.
TIP: Center can be easily found by measuring from the top to the bottom of the stair, dividing by two and
making a mark then measuring from the left to the right across stair, diving by two and making a mark.
Where the two lines intersect is the center of the stair.
5. Next, carefully drill a 3” hole using a forstener bit (model # HP-990A) or hole saw. Hole must be drilled a
minimum of 1-1/4” deep to accept back box.
WARNING: BE SURE AREA BEING DRILLED IS FREE
OF NAILS AND SCREWS
NOTE: The installation of blocking behind the fixture
may be required.
