drill a 4” [102mm] - 5” [127mm] hole
on previously marked center point. As shown in Fig. 47.

4. Using a Forstner Bit,
d
rill a hole to the center of the
post. As shown in Fig. 48.

holes on side face of post. As shown in Fig. 49.

If installing an LED Vertical Post Light,
DO NOT drill the top
of the post. Drill bottom of post and create a channel
along a desired side face of post. Light will be mounted at
the top of channel. As shown in Fig. 50.
8. Once wire is fed through post and lighting is installed,
use
wood
trim to cover channel and hide exposed wire. As
shown in Fig. 51.
