HELPFUL TIPS
» Leave slack in wire to make fixture terminations.
» W e d g e 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.
» 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.

installation and are shown BEFORE railing system has
