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 exceed the transformer’s circuit. Total wattage is determined by multiplying the number of fixtures by
wattage of bulb in each fixture. (9 lights with 1.5 Watt LED’s; 9x1.5 = 13.5 watts total). Refer to your specific
transformer to determine the circuit’s allowable wattage.
NOTE: The Post Lights have slight variances in installation depending on the style of railing. This varies how
the wire will be run/hidden to get to the main run.
2. Using the installation instructions that were provided with the transformer, mount the transformer to the
house and install the main power feed line. This line should be a UV-resistant, UL-approved 18-2 or greater
low voltage cable with a 150’ max run. 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 the 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
POST LIGHT INSTALLATION:
4.
Determine where the fixture is to be installed and make a
reference mark for centering the mounting and wiring holes.
NOTE: Measure from the top of the deck to the top of the
desired light height (usually around 34”) and make a mark.
Next, measure from left to right across the post, divide this
number in half and mark. The center is where the two marks
will intersect.
5. Next, hold the back plate on the centering mark, mark the two mounting holes. Also
mark where the wire will feed through to get the main feed line.
TIP: Depending on what style of post or post sleeve you are using, you may be able to
make the wire connections just under the post cap or slide the pigtail wire between the
post and post sleeve to reach the joist and connect to the main line.
