wire insulation.

3. Always make sure power is disconnected from the 
LED Mini Step Lights before cutting, mounting, 
attaching terminal block, attaching end cap or 
modifying in any way.

Do not exceed the wattage capacity of the LED driver  
used (requires a 350mA constant current driver).

WARNING

: These products may represent a possible 

shock or fire hazard if improperly installed or attached 
in any way. Products should be installed in accordance 
with the owners manual, current electrical codes 
and/or the current National Electric Code (NEC).

• One  high brightness LED per light 

   (consumes 1.25 watts each)

• Maximum wattage per run is 10 watts (350mA DC)

• Series wiring configuration only

• Recessed mount hole size required: 1-1/2”

• Fixture height: 1-7/8” (profile); 1-5/8” overall

Installing LED Mini Step Lights
NOTE: Do NOT cut off the molex connector 
attached to the LED Mini Step Light’s lead wire. 
This molex connector is required for the series 
wiring configuration. The LED Mini Step Light does 
not use conventional parallel wiring.

1. Always make sure the LED Mini Step Light is 
disconnected from the power source before wiring.
2. Determine the number of LED Mini Step Lights your 

application will require. Remember, in any case, do not 

exceed 10 watts for a single series wired configura

-

tion.
3. Utilizing a good pair of shears, cut the Molex 

connector off the 023-0002 Power Connector  (See 
Figures 1&2 on reverse).
4. Strip the insulation back 3/16” on lead wires
(See Figure 3).
5. Place the stripped leads of the 023-0002 into one 
side of the TL-CONBLK2 connector (See Figure 4) and 
tighten screws (See Figure 5).
6. Place stripped leads of plug-in driver (019-0004 
shown in Figure 6) into the other side of TL-CONBLK2 
connector (see Figure 7) and tighten screws. When 
using a hardwire driver (019-0005) add some lead wire 
to secondary side of driver to connect to TL-CONBLK2 
connector (see Figure 8).
7. For LED Mini Step Lights, check that the male Molex 

connector is in operable condition. If in operable 
condition, insert male Molex connector into an open 

female port of the 023-0003  (See Figures 9&10).
8. When only powering one Mini Step Light, it is 
necessary to insert an end cap (023-0002 shown in 
Figure 11) into the other open port to complete the 
wiring series  (See Figure 12).
9. When powering multiple Mini Step Lights, it is 

necessary to use multiple power connectors, (023

-

0003) to link Downlights together in a series. The LED 
Mini Step Lights will not light if the series is not 
completed with an end cap or Mini Step Light in the 

last female port of the Power Connector (023-0003)
(See Figures 13 and 14).

Attaching Junction Box

1. In order to provide proper strain relief, each 

TL-CONBLK2 must be placed in a compatible junction 
box (FSL-BOX ).

2. Disconnect power from transformer.

3. Place TL-CONBLK2 assembly into top of FSL-BOX.
4. Make sure TL-CONBLK2 assembly fits into junction 
box and enclose with FSL-BOX bottom. Tighten four 

junction box screws through bottom into top of 

FSL-BOX.

RECESS MOUNTING LED Mini Step Light

Note: The LED Mini Step Light is designed for recessed 
installations only.
1. Always make sure power is disconnected before 
modifying, mounting or installing a series of LED Mini 
Step Lights.
2. Drill a 

1-1/2”

hole in mounting surface.

3. Insert Mini Step Light into cabinet by pushing 
through hole in surface while holding back spring 
clips.
4. Make sure that the wire is not in contact with sharp 
objects.
5. Maximum wattage per series is 10 watts at 350ma 
DC. Add the number of Mini Step Lights and respec

-

tive wattage to ensure you do not exceed the maxi

-

mum wattage.
