Lighting and Wiring Overview
HELPFUL TIPS
» Please note that Trex lighting operates on DC power. NEVER mix AC and DC fixtures on the same circuit. Doing so will result in extremely premature fixture failure and is not covered by the Trex limited warranty. You must use a Trex transformer on all Trex lighting installations. » Never fully drive staples when securing wire. Wire should move under staple. » ALWAYS protect any wire that is close to the ground with conduit or wire loom to prevent rodent damage. » Cap all unused female connections with caps provided or weather-resistant silicone to prevent water damage or corrosion. » Each dimmer operates on a separate remote. » It is recommended to have power source installed and turned on when installing lights to ensure all components work. » When installing wiring, avoid extreme angles, pressure, or tension on the wiring, as this can cause pinching of the wiring and create a lighting failure.
