driver box. Do not install more than 16 Lineal Feet of Odyssey Strip
Lighting per run.
Use on steps, railings,
handrails, coves, sots,
gazebos & pergolas,
kitchen cabinets, or
anywhere you need small
bright lighting for years
of service.

Power Drill • Table Saw or Router • 3/16” Ker table saw blade or 3/16” straight router bit • ½” spade bit or orstner bit •
Screwdriver • Pliers • Tape Measure • Clear silicone caulk or sealant • Eye protection
I n t a l l a t i o n I n t r u c t i o n
CAUTION: Use eye protection when using power tools. Do not install more than 24 lineal feet of LED Strip Lights on one 3 AMP dri er box.
Do not install within 10 feet of a pool, fountain or spa.
POWER SOURCE: Mount the LED Driver Box
at least 18 inches abo e the ground near your outlet
using screws. Do not plug it in. [ILLUS. 1]
Determine the locations for your LED lights on your
railing, stair nosing, etc. Keep in mind that your
arthest LED Strip light can be no more than 100
feet from the LED dri er box using the wire
included in this kit.
FOR STAIR INSTALLATION: [ILLUS. 2]
using a table saw or router, cut a 3/16” wide x
3/8” deep channel the ull length of the stair
nosing. For best results, The LED Strip should be
at least ½” rom stair riser to a oid hot spots.
FOR HANDRAIL INSTALLATION: [ILLUS.
3] using a table saw or router, cut a 3/16”
wide x 3/8” deep channel the ull length of the
handrail. For best results, The LED Strip should
be at least ½” rom
horizontal surfaces to a oid hot spots. The bottom of
your hole needs to be flat so the light lays in
correctly.
Prior to gluing the LED Strip lighting into place, be
sure to lay out your LED Strips in such a way that
you can connect the wires from one LED strip to the
next. If your LED strips will be more than 8’ apart,
you can use portions of the 100’ wire included in
the kit to extend the LED strip. If your wires will
be less than 8’ apart, you can trim the length of wire
to required length. Please note the location that the
wire connectors will end up before you trim the wires
– you will need a pocket or void to conceal the
wire connectors.

Starting with the LED Strip farthest from the power
source, connect the LED Strips in series. There is no
need to cut or strip the wire. First insert the black wires
into the open side of a connector so that it fits snugly in
the space pro ided. Squeeze the connector closed using
a pair of pliers. Repeat this process to connect the white
wires with another connector. Connect all lights in this
manner. [ILLUS. 4]
At each connection point, you will need a pocket or a
oid to conceal the connectors. This can be done using a
1/2:” spade or forstner bit. Drill a ½” deep hole to allow
space for the connectors. [ILLUS. 5]
NOTE: The LED Strips farthest from the power source
(The last LED Strip on the wire run) will be capped
separately with a connector at the end of your
installation. Do not connect the white and black wires on
the same connector – this will short the entire system. It
is ok to cut the remaining 4’ of wire if needed to conceal
the connectors. See Figure #6
Once all of the LED Deck lights ha e been connected to
the wire, connect the end of the twisted wire to the
remote dri er or power box. Connect the Remote Control
Dri er wires to the end of the twisted wire using two
connectors. The black wire must be connected to the
positi e wire lead as noted on the transformer, and the
white wire must be connected to the negati e wire. See
Figure #7
Use of the remote is optional and the remote dri er can
be bypassed by remo ing it from the power source. See
Figure #8
Plug in the power source to make sure all lights are
working properly. Unplug before proceeding to the final
steps.
Using a caulk gun, run a bead of silicone sealant or caulk
in the channel the entire distance of the slot cut for the
LED Strip and wire. [ILLUS. 9] Do not use excessi e
amounts of silicone. Center the LED Strip on the
material, and press into the slot so that it seats down
e enly in the slot. If needed, a bead of silicone can
o erlay the wires to pro ide additional hold.
When all lights are installed, plug in the power cord, and
operate using either the remote control or the light
switch.
T R O U B L E SHOOT I N G T I P S :
Make sure all wires are connected in like color pairs. Make sure the remote control has a battery and it is installed correctly. If you choose
to bypass the remote, be sure to remo e the remote dri er from the set-up and connect the twisted pair wires directly to the power box.
