TOOLS NEEDED
PARTS
A
Post Cap Light (includes 5ft male-to-male wire)
9/16" x 6" or Longer (14 mm x 152 mm)
» 5ft, 10ft, and 20ft connection/extension wires sold separately (these are male-to-male connection wires).
Helpful Tips » Leave slack in wire to make fixture terminations. » Post lamps work well at changes in levels of a deck—at the top or the bottom of the stairs, or in conjunction with post cap lights. » Splitters should be used at each post that has lights and depending on spacing in between each riser and recessed light. » Cap all unused female connections with caps provided or weather-resistant silicone to prevent water damage or corrosion. » The splitter is cross-linked so there is no specified plug for lights versus lead wires. » Leads attached to each light are approx. 5.5' (1.67 m) in length and have male terminals to plug into splitter. » Use a separate dimmer control for each light type for maximum control. » It is recommended to have power source on when installing lights to ensure all components work.

3. Using a 9/16 " (14 mm) x 6 " (152 mm [or longer]) drill bit, drill a diagonal hole through the decking and blocking. Ensure that the angle will allow wire to not be pinched by support plate under blocking (if using Trex ALPOSTHWDECK mounting kit). (See Making Connections section for details.) 4. Turn post upside down and fish 5 ' male-to-male wire (provided) through hole in baseplate.

NOTE: If connecting a Trex Wedge Deck Rail Light as well, a 3-way adapter and extra 5' male-to-male wire (not provided) can be used inside the post so that only one wire must be run through the hole in the base of the post (and post blocking). This is optional.
1. Before attaching post to deck, locate placement of post and mark desired bolt locations. 2. Using a straight edge, mark an “X" between the four bolt locations.
