The AZEK and TimberTech system is designed for use with AZEK Railing and TimberTech Railing products.
Below is a sample lighting layout showing xture placement and wiring routes. When laying out the wiring for your deck, keep the following in mind:

Locate and mark the centerline of the deck plank where the in-deck light will be mounted.
On the desired point of the center line, use a 1” spade bit to create a through hole (be sure not to drill into the substructure.)
Guide the light’s wire into the through hole.
Push the lighting fixture into the through hole until the flange touches the deck surface.
The wire connections can then be made under the deck’s surface.
In-deck light should be installed in a low foot-traffic area.
In-deck light can only be used when there is room under the deck to access the wires to make all of the connections

Locate and mark vertical and horizontal centerlines for Stair Riser Light location. Level the back plate and secure using #6 x 1” wood screws.
Use the back plate as a template to locate the center of the 1“ hole for the wire.
Cut a 1” diameter hole at the center point, at a slight downward angle, using a 1” spade bit.
Trim excess wire length and make wire connection to main circuit wire using wire nuts provided.
Align the light with the 1” hole and assure alignment between the Stair Riser light and the back plate.
Secure housing to back plate using the set screw with a 2.5mm Allen wrench.

Choose the location for the Under-Rail Light so it is centered in the balusters.
Drill a 3/8” hole to feed the wire through the RadianceRail Support Rail.
Feed the wire and mount the light to the recessed RadianceRail Support Rail making sure the light is tilted in (light comes with
a 15˚ tilt which is usually facing the deck). Use the center alignment beam for a guide for the 2 screws. Use 8-3/4“ screw size.
Trim excess wire length and make wire connection to main circuit wire using nuts provided.

Post Skirt
Accent Light wire channel must be routed during the installation of the Post Sleeve. The Post Sleeve and the wood post must be prepared in advance to accommodate
installation of the Accent Light. (No post preparation is necessary for the 5” and 5 ½” Post Sleeves.)
If using the 4” Post Sleeve, prepare the wood post by routing a 1/4” wide by 1/4“ deep wire channel up the center of
the post on the face where the Accent Light will be mounted. For main cable, slightly bevel the corner of the 4x4 post.
If a Post Skirt is used, install it over the wood post before installing the Post Sleeve. You will not be able to install Post Skirt after Post Sleeve and Accent
Light are in place.
Remove Accent Light Cover from Accent Light Back Plate by loosening Set Screw located at bottom of Accent Light Cover.
Prepare the Post Sleeve in the following manner:
