NOTE: If railing has already been installed, lead wires will need to be fished through the post sleeve to reach the desired location for the deck rail light. In some cases, if the provided lead wire does not fit (due to connector size), the wire connectors can be cut off and wire nuts can be used. Test lights with the power on. If lights that are wired with this method do not function, then switch the connector wires. Installing Riser Lights NOTE: Install riser lights after stairs and risers have been installed.
