Helpful Tips » Leave slack in wire to make fixture terminations. » Deck rail lights 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). 4. Locate placement of post lamp. Mark entry point of the wire. 5. Drill 9/16" (14 mm) hole where wire will enter post. 5
