1. 

Ensure all Bantam mounting holes (0.625”) are de-burred inside 

and out. Removal of all sharp edges is necessary to protect 

conductors that pass through the openings.

2. 

Install 24VDC positive (+) and negative (-) wires (by others) down the 

length of the hand rail. Refer to the remote distance chart for wire 

gauge/distance recommendations.

3. 

Carefully pull a loop of the 24VDC main wires out of each Bantam 

mounting hole. Cut the wires at the center of each loop and strip 

insulation ends back

4. 

 Install the Poke-Home Junction Box connectors (Red) to both ends 

of the 24VDC main wires and the DC converter input. Ensure that the 

polarity of conductors from the converter (+ = red, - = black) connect 

to the correct polarity of the main 24VDC wires.

5. 

Dimming: the DC converter has a 3rd input to be used for a dedicated 

0-10V control.  Attach the 3rd Poke-Home Junction Box connector 

(Red) to the labeled (DIM) lead. Also attach the input control and 

branch conductors (for additional fixtures, if applicable) into the 

connector. 

No Dimming: simply leave the Junction Box connector on the (DIM) 

lead as a termination.

6. 

Install a Poke-Home Thru-Wire connector (White) to both output 

wires, positive (+) and negative (-) on the DC/DC converter. Connect 

the corresponding polarity leads from the Bantam on the other end.

7. 

Carefully feed wires, Poke-Home connectors, and DC converter 

through the mounting hole, into the railing. Push components into rail 

to clear mounting hole.

8. 

 Carefully feed the remaining wire into the rail and align the Bantam 

with the screw hole and tighten the security screw ½ way. Repeat 

process for additional fixtures. 

9. 

 After the system is tested, loosen fixtures and place a

 (or equal) to the exposed

Bantam fixtures. Repeat process for additional fixtures.

INSTALLATION

TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING 
THE LIGHT FIXTURES:

 For retrofit applications and field drilling for Bantam installations, resealing the protective 

coating on railings that are not inherently corrosion resistant is required. Paint, cold galvanizing, or an equivalent 
material must be used to seal the bare metal surfaces prior to fixture installation.
