1. Connect male lead from wiring to female connector from cap. Also attach male-to-male connection wires in between each splitter. Continue until all wiring from lights is attached to splitters and connector wires are attached in between splitters. (See Making Connections section for details.) 2. After verifying wiring is correct by turning lights on, attach cap to top of post with silicone caulk. Installing Deck Rail Lights NOTE: Instructions shown below are for new deck installation and are shown BEFORE railing system has been installed.
4. Drill out existing hole on pressure-treated post 3/4" (19 mm) deep. Drill two additional holes vertically below main hole—this will allow space for wiring after post sleeve is attached. 5. Leave enough slack at top of lead wire and attach lead wire to post using heavy duty tape. Attach lead wire to splitter under decking.
TIP: To hold lead wire in place at drilled-out location, use painters tape.
