Installing Deck Rail Lights

sleeve skirt, and post sleeve have been installed.
1. Mark desired height, centered on post sleeve for deck
rail light location.
2. Drill a 1
"
(2.5 cm) hole through post sleeve. Use care to
stop drill before cutting into post.
3. Fish wire from deck rail light through hole and up to top of
post. Cut wire loop at the top of the post. Strip the two wire
ends. Make connections with the provided wire nuts.

and attach fixture base to post with

Installing Riser Lights

been installed.
1. Mark the locations for each light, generally 4
"
