Find the Center of the Top Rail
Use a square and a tape measure to mark the center of the
underside of the top rail (
See Figure C
). Locate the center
of the channel of the LED light bar and place up against the
underside of the top rail (
See Figure D
).
With a pencil mark the pre-drilled screw holes in the channel
to the underside of the top rail (
See Figure E
). Putting the
channel off to the side; with a cordless drill use a 1/16” drill bit
and drill pilot holes into the underside of the top rail at each
hole previously marked (
See Figure F
).
Color Selection
Black, White, Bronze & Metallic Silver
For a component breakdown of the Micro Star LED Light Bar
(
See Figure A
). The LED’s emit a natural white light.
Install the Transformer
Mount the Micro Star transformer near a 110v, power outlet
but leave transformer unplugged until it is needed (
See
Figure B
). Select the end post closest to the outlet in order
to connect to the transformer. You will need to run the low
voltage wire down this post so plan accordingly. You may need
to drill an additional hole in the decking beneath this post to
run the low-voltage wire to keep it hidden. The transformers
are available in 1 Amp and 5 Amps models.
USE DC TRANSFORMER ONLY!
Figure B.
DC transformers are comprised of heavy-duty water resistant
material.
THE LED LIGHT BAR HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO
MOUNT TO FLAT SURFACES ONLY!

IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO ATTACH POWER TO EACH
SECTION OF LIGHTING TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS

Installing the Aluminum Channel
Use a Phillips head screwdriver and screw in the channel to
the underside of the top rail (
See Figure G
) with the #4 x 3/8”
flathead Phillips screws (fasteners supplied).
Drill Holes Through Posts for Jumpers
Find the centers of the post in the same fashion as finding the
centers of the top rail. At the centers, drill a hole with a 13/32”
drill bit 2/3 of the way through the post from both sides (
See
Figure H
). It is important that these holes meet in the center
