TOOLS NEEDED

HELPFUL TIPS
» Please note that Trex lighting operates on DC
power. NEVER mix AC and DC fixtures on the
same circuit. Doing so will result in extremely
premature fixture failure and is not covered by
the Trex limited warranty. You must use a Trex
transformer on all Trex lighting installations.
» Never fully drive staples when securing wire.
Wire should move under staple.
» ALWAYS protect any wire that is close to the
ground with conduit or wire loom to prevent
rodent damage.
» Cap all unused female connections with caps
provided or weather-resistant silicone to prevent
water damage or corrosion.
» Each dimmer operates on a separate remote.
» It is recommended to have power source
installed and turned on when installing lights to
ensure all components work.
» When installing wiring, avoid extreme angles,
pressure, or tension on the wiring, as this can
cause pinching of the wiring and create a lighting
failure.
NOTE: Avoid railing brackets and locations for deck rail
lights when running wires up posts.
NOTE: It is recommended to install wiring and splitters
before decking and railing have been installed. DO NOT
run wires between joists and deck boards.
