Installing Deck Rail Lights
Note: Install deck rail lights after the railing system, post
sleeve skirt, and post sleeve have been installed.
1. Mark desired height, centered on post sleeve for deck
rail light location.
2. Drill a 1" (2.5 cm) hole through post sleeve. Use care to
stop drill before cutting into post.
3. Fish wire from deck rail light through hole and up to top of
post. Cut wire loop at the top of the post. Strip the two wire
ends. Make connections with the provided wire nuts. See
Making Connections on page 2.
4. Push back housing and wires into hole. Align holes for
screws vertically
and attach fixture base to post with
provided screws as indicated above.
5. Line up polycarbonate lens with fixture housing. Twist
onto fixture base.
Installing Riser Lights
Note: Install riser lights after stair and risers have
been installed.
1. Mark the locations for each light, generally 4" (10.2 cm)
above the tread. Consult local codes for lighting
requirements.
Note: If possible, avoid locations over stringers as holes will
be more difficult to create.
2. Drill a 1" (2.5 cm) diameter hole at least 1" (2.5 cm) deep
into riser. If the riser material is thicker than 1" (2.5 cm), use
a 1/4" (0.6 cm) drill bit to create a passage for the wires.
3. Thread wires through hole.
4. Press light into hole,
ensuring lens is horizontal.
Make connections behind
the stairs with the provided
wire nuts. See Making
Connections on page 2.
Note: Do Not install Riser
Light or Deck Rail Light into top
or bottom rails or balusters.
