Step 1:
Design Wire Layout
1.
Sketch outline of deck.
2.
Identify location of GFCI Outlet.
If no GFCI Outlet, one will
need to be installed.
3. Determine lighting to be used and layout/placement of
lighting on deck. Reference light options on page 4.
4.
Determine what wire connectors will be required for your
project. Design wire layout so that a minimum amount of
connectors will be required. Reference wire connectors on
page 5.
5.
Determine the best location for the transformer based on
your lighting layout. The transformer should be located
within 15’ [4572mm] of the first LED Light.
6. Determine desired placement of the Smart Controller (if
applicable). The Smart Controller should be positioned at a
location that allows for the output wire to be easily fed
underneath the decking.

and
Smart Controller
placement. As shown in Fig. 1.
