Installing Riser Lights (continued)
2. Drill a 1" (2.5 cm) diameter hole at least 1" (2.5 cm)
deep into riser. If riser material is thicker than 1" (2.5
cm), use a 1/4" (0.6 cm) drill bit to create a passage
for wires.
3. Thread wires through
hole.
4. Press light into
hole, ensuring lens
is horizontal. Make
connections behind stairs
with provided wire nuts.
See Making Connections
on page 23.
NOTE: DO NOT install Riser Light or Deck Rail Light into
top or bottom rails or balusters.
Installing Recessed Deck Lights
NOTE: Install recessed deck lights after installing
decking.
1. Mark locations for lights in deck boards.
NOTE: If possible, avoid locations over joists as holes will
be more difficult to create.
2. Drill a 1" (2.5 cm)
diameter hole 3/4"
(1.9 cm) deep into
deck board. Hole
cannot go all the way
through deckboard or
light will fall through.
Make sure drill bit
is perpendicular to
board. Drill a 1/4"
(0.6 cm) diameter hole in base of the first hole
through deck board.
3. Thread wires through hole. DO NOT pull LED into
hole by pulling on wires. This may damage wires
or LED.
4. Press light into hole until flush with surface. Make
connections under deck with provided wire nuts. See
Making Connections on page 23.
