Installation Guide
Transformer Settings
Power is supplied to the lighting fixtures via 16/2AWG wires connected to the provided
transformer. One side of the 16/2AWG wire is connected to the Common terminal (C),
the other side is connected to an Output terminal. One side of the 16/2AWG wire
contains raised ridges to allow for easy identification (see Wire Connections section).
The maximum recommended load for the transformer is 90 watts.

Consult the instructions provided with the transformer for
additional information.

Install the Dimmer next to the LED Transformer. Use the provided 10” wire and
water-tight connector to connect the Dimmer to the LED Transformer. Next, use the
provided 10’ wire and water-tight connector to connect the Dimmer to main run of wire.
To use the Dimmer, turn the LED Transformer to a setting that turns the lighting
on when desired. To dim the lights, press the button on the remote or on the dimmer until
the desired brightness is achieved.
Recommended load for the dimmer is between 20-90 watts.
Wiring Instructions
Connections between the main 16/2AWG cable and the lighting fixtures are made using the space between the post and the Post Cap Light
as a junction box.
When routing the main wire around the deck, leave a loop of extra wire at the top of each post to allow for splicing connections.
Use silicone filled wire nuts with corrosion protection and intended for outdoor use to make all connections. They shall be copper, copper alloy,
or the equivalent.
When making splices, do not pre-twist wires. Pre-twisting wires can lead to a poor seal inside the wire nut causing corrosion and/or voltage drop.

Wire Nut Instructions
IMPORTANT: Turn off power before installing or removing connector. Product to be used in accordance with local and national codes.
1. Strip wires 5/8”
2. Align frayed strands of conductors.
3. Do not pre-twist. Place stripped wires together with ends even, but lead smaller stranded wires slightly ahead of larger solid or stranded wire.
4. Twist connector onto wires pushing firmly until hand-tight. DO NOT over torque.
5. Wipe excess sealant in and around conductors. DO NOT REUSE.
Use the following guidelines for correct usage of wire nuts.

Post & Rail Preparation
Trim 4x4 wood posts 2 ½” shorter than the nished Post Sleeve length.
Trim Post Sleeves to length: 39-40” for a lit post, 2 ½” longer for unlit post.
For best results, use a miter saw with a fine toothed blade to make Post Sleeve cuts.
Check cuts for square.
Feed main 16/2AWG cable between post and Post Sleeve. (See Wire Connections section
for more info.)
Post & Post Sleeves
4 x 4: RadianceRail Express
Trim 4x4 wood posts 2 ½” shorter than the nished post sleeve length.
In order to provide clearance for wiring between the post and Post Cover you must create a
wire channel.
If you plan to install a post mounted Accent Light, you must rout a slot down the post to the
desired fixture position. (See Accent Light instructions.)
Trim Post Covers to length: 37-5/8” for a lit post, 39” for an unlit post.
For best results, use a miter saw with a fine toothed blade to make Post Cover cuts. Check
cuts for square.
Feed main 16/2AWG cable up or down post using prepared feature. (See Wire Connections
section for more information)
Post & Post Sleeves
Install Support Rails and Balusters as normal, DO NOT install Top Rail yet.
Drill a 5/8” hole through the Post Sleeve on centerline,
directly above rail Mounting Blocks.
After running all wiring, secure four Cable Guides to
Support Rail using #8 x ¾” screws. Use the Cable
Guides to pre-drill holes thru the Support Rail with a
7/64” bit.
Attach Top Rails before installation of Post Cap Lights. Use the holes that were pre-drilled
through the Cable Guides to attach the Top Rail. FAILURE TO USE THESE HOLES MAY RESULT
IN WIRE DAMAGE.
Make a notch on the centerline of the Top Rail by boring
a ¾” hole centered ½" back from the end of the rail,
then cut it out to form an open slot.

Install the Lens onto the Post Sleeve as shown.
Remove the Post Lamp Cover from the Post Lamp Bottom Housing.
Trim excess wire length and make wiring connections to 16/2AWG main cable and
other 18/2AWG luminary wires. Check to confirm polarity of main cable connections.
Coil the connected wires inside the Post Sleeve and insert the Post Lamp Bottom Housing into the
Lens. Check to make sure no wires are exposed or pinched between Lens and Bottom Housing.
Install the mounting screws and washers assembled as shown. Watch as screws are
installed to ensure that wires are clear of screw tip prior to driving them into the wood
post. Tighten only until the silicone washer begins to compress. Over-tightening could
break the Bottom Housing causing permanent damage.
Reinstall Post Lamp Cover and screws.
For 5” & 5-1/2”: (Includes Gasket) Rotate Gasket for desired fit of Post Cap.
For 4x4 (Includes Gasket): Set gasket centered on post Lamp Cover.
