SIGNATURE™ POST CAP LIGHT
PARTS
A
Post Cap Light
9/16" x 6" or Longer
(14 mm x 152 mm)
TOOLS NEEDED
» 5 f t , 10ft, 20ft, 40ft, and 60ft connection/extension
wires sold separately (these are male-to-male
connection wires).
HELPFUL TIPS
» Leave slack in wire to make fixture terminations.
» P o s t 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.
» S p l i t t e r s 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.
» T h e splitter is cross linked so there is no specified
plug for lights versus lead wires.
» L e a d s attached to each light are approximately
5.5' (1.67 m) in length and have male terminals
to plug into splitter.
» U s e a separate dimmer control for each light type
for maximum control.
» I t is recommended to have power source on when
installing lights to ensure all components work.
Installing Post Cap Lights
NOTE: Instructions shown below are for new deck
installation and are shown BEFORE railing system has
been installed.
1. B e f o r e 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.
3. Using a 9/16" x 6" (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. Tu r n post upside down and fish 5' male-to-male wire
(provided) through hole in baseplate.

5. Connect the female connector on the post cap light
to this wire and, using a rubber mallet, gently tap the
cap onto the top of the post until it is secure.
6. Tu r n post over and carefully fish wire through hole
created in Step 3 to underside of the deck. Ensure
exit point of wire under blocking will not be pinched
by ALPOSTHWDECK plate.
7. Mount post per instructions.
NOTE: If also connecting a Wedge Deck Rail light, 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.
