HOW TO INSTALL TREX DECKLIGHTING/CONTINUED
Timer Operation Instructions
1. Select the mode of operation:
» Dusk to Dawn
» 2–8 hours
» Always “ON”
» “OFF”
Program repeats daily.
When power is fl owing to lights,
green light above POWER is on.
Installing Post Cap Lights
NOTE: Install post cap lights after the railing system,
post sleeve skirt, and post sleeve have been installed.
1. Connect male lead from wiring to female connector
from cap. Also attach male-to-male connection
wires in between each splitter. Continue until all
wiring from lights are attached to splitters as well as
connector wires are attached in between splitters.
(See Making Connections section for details.)
2. After verifying wiring is correct by turning lights on,
attach cap to top of post with silicone caulk.
Installing Deck Rail Lights
NOTE: Instructions shown below are for new deck
installation and are shown BEFORE railing system has
been installed.
1. Place post sleeve over
pressure-treated post
and mark desired
height, centered on post
sleeve for deck rail light
location.
NOTE: If deck boards are
not installed yet, place a
deck board on framing to
ensure post sleeve is at correct height.
2. Drill a 1" (25 mm) hole through post sleeve. Drill deep
enough to mark location on pressure-treated post.
3. Remove the post sleeve from the post.
4. Drill out existing hole on pressure-treated post 3/4"
(19 mm) deep. Drill two additional holes vertically
below main hole—this will allow space for wiring after
post sleeve is attached.
5. Leave enough slack at top of lead wire and attach
lead wire to post using staples. Attach lead wire to
splitter under decking.
TIP: To hold lead wire in place at drilled out location use
painters tape.
6. Slide post sleeve back over post. If using a post sleeve
skirt, make sure to install the skirt fi rst. Connect
plug on deck rail light to lead wire and tuck wiring into
previously drilled out pockets on post.
7.
Align holes for screws horizontally and attach fi xture
base to post with provided screws.
