DesignRail®24V LED Lighng (v2)
General Notes:
Drivers are available in a variety of waages. In general a driver should not exceed more than 80% of its rated output capacity.
(Example: 60W Driver = 60 x 0.8 = 48W Max).
Strip Lights require 1.44 was per foot. Aer determining the necessary length of strip lighng, calculate the waage and ensure
the driver being used has adequate capacity (example: 10’ = 10 x 1.44 = 14.4W). The maximum length of strip lighng that can be
connected in one run is 55 feet.
Building codes vary by locaon and jurisdicon. Consult all applicable codes before installing DesignRail® LED Lighng.DesignRail®
LED Lighng may not be suitable for every applicaon and it is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that DesignRail® LED
Lighng is used for its intended purpose.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURIES OR DEATH. ELECTRICAL SHORTS CAN ALSO CAUSE FIRES AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE
ELECTRICAL OUTLET YOU ARE PLUGGING INTO IS GROUNDED.

Step 1 - Install Drivers
Step 1A – Connect Source Power to Driver
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, TURN OFF AC CIRCUIT BREAKER PRIOR TO COMMENCING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK AND
CONNECTING DRIVER(S) TO AC POWER SOURCE. VERIFY THAT LIVE POWER IS NOT PRESENT AT JUNCTION BOX WHEN MAKING CONNECTIONS.
Determine locaon of driver.
Note: It is best to locate the drivers as close as
possible to the lighࢼng to reduce the possibility
of voltage drop occuring. If possible, the driver
should be within 15 feet of the post that will
accept the 20' starter cable.
Route exterior rated wiring from compable
dimmer switch/AC power source to locaon of
driver.
Connect drivers to dimmer switch/AC power
source.
Connect 20' starter cable and route from driver
to post using supplied wire nuts.

Step 1B - Drill Posts and Route Starter Cable
Determine the post that will act as the starng post, this will likely
be designated on the lighng layout schemac received with the
order. Installing the starter cable through the post is easiest when
done prior to mounng the post.
Determine the locaon that the starter cable will enter the starng
post.
Note: Depending on the post mounࢼng method, and driver locaࢼon
relaࢼve to the post, the starter cable entrance point may vary. (See
Figure 1.2 for typical recommendaࢼons)

Fish the connector for the starter cable through the post and out
of the top, and aach LED Connector (Female) to Starter Cable.
(See Figure 1.3).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Maintaining the polarity at all connec-
on points is crical. Constant alignment verificaon
of the of the posive and negave signs will guarantee
less problems and rework.
Use masking tape to temporarily secure starter cable to outside
of post to prevent retracng back into post.

For systems with lighng installed into Series 150 top rail:
Drill an 11/16” diameter hole vercally centered between the
factory pre-drilled top rail RCB holes. This will allow the light
strip and connector to pass through the RCB hollow (See Figure
1.4). Repeat this step for each post which will have light strips
running through it. For stair posts, pre-drill top rail RCB holes as
needed, and then pre-drill 11/16" diameter hole.
Pull starter cable out through drilled hole between RCB holes,
and aach LED Connector (Female) to Starter Cable (See Figure
1.5).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Maintaining the polarity at all con-
necon points is crical. Constant alignment verifi-
caon of the of the posive and negave signs will
guarantee less problems and rework.
Use masking tape to temporarily secure starter cable to outside
of post to prevent retracng back into post.
For systems with lighng installed into Boom Rail: Drill an
11/16” dia. hole, at 9/16” below and centered between the
boom rail RCB holes (See Figure 1.6). Repeat this step for each
post which will have light strips running through it. For stair
posts, pre-drill boom rail RCB holes as needed, and then pre-
drill 11/16" diameter hole.
Pull starter cable out through drilled hole between RCB holes,
and aach LED Connector (Female) to Starter Cable (See Figure
1.7).

Step 2 - Prepare Railing Frame
Following driver installaon, and aer roung the starter
cable, install all posts and top rail per DesignRail Installaon
Instrucons.
For systems with lighng installed into Series 200, 300, 350, or
450 top rail:
Aach 3/4” wide piece of standard infill to top of intermediate
pickets using #10 x 3/4” screw (See Figure 2.1).
Follow standard DesignRail installaon instrucons for aaching
boom rail, or picket base plate, and install picket sub-assembly
panels.
Measure the opening between the picket and post face on each
side of the picket (See Figure 2.2). These dimensions should be
equal. Cut top rail insert for lighng, to fit on each side of the
picket.
Install top rail insert on each side of picket. Avoid pinching
starter cable by starng insert at a slight angle and rotang up
and snapping into top rail (See Figure 2.3).
Secure intermediate picket to top rail using (2x) #8 x 1” self-
tapping screws (See Figure 2.4).
For systems with lighng installed into Series 150 top rail:
Intermediate picket can be directly aached to flange of built-in
channel. Light strips will install directly into top rail, without an
addional insert

For systems with lighng installed into Boom Rail:
Measure opening between the post faces beneath the boom
rail (See Figure 2.5).
Cut channeled boom rail inert to fit between posts.
Trim channel poron of isert at both ends to clear RCBs. This can
be done by cung the ‘top’ of the channel to a point just above
the flanges, then ‘snipping’ the sides to remove (See Figure 2.6).
Install boom rail insert between posts (See Figure 2.7).

Step 2 - Connued

1-800-888-2418 | www.feeneyinc.com8
Measure length of strip light needed for run (face of post to
face of post). Reference lighng layout for approximate light
strip engths.
Cut light strip to length at nearest cut mark. Cut marks are
located approx. every 4-inches. Using scissors cut between
the 4 copper dots (See Figure 3.1).
Determine which end of light strip will be used at starng
post, by lining up the posve symbol on the light strip with
the posive symbol on the LED Connector. Be sure to
account for the back of the light strip (the side with the tape)
needing to face upwards. The light strip may need to be
flipped end for end in order to avoid twisng when properly
oriented (See Figure 3.2).
Roll back the adhesive tape at the end of the light strip just
enough so that it is out of the way of where the connector
will be placed. Use the provided silicone and affix the clear
plasc sleeve to the end of the light strip, make sure window
opening is oriented so that the copper dots are aligned in
opening (See Figure 3.3). The end of the light strip is now
ready to be snapped into the connector.
Snap the light strip onto the starter cable LED connector
assembly by firmly pressing the clear plasc sleeve into the
connector. The prongs of the LED connector will enter in
through the opening in the clear plasc sleeve and pierce
the light strip, contacng the copper dots (See Figure 3.4).

Peel back the adhesive tape protecve layer about 6 to
12 inches, enough to begin scking the light strip to the
underside of the channel.
Stuffstarter cable and connector back into post, so that light
strip starts as close to the face of the post as possible. Push
the light strip up and hold with firm pressure, allowing the
adhesive to bond to the aluminum (See Figure 3.5). Connue
peeling back the adhesive tape protecve layer and adhering
the light strip to the railing a few feet at a me.
For systems with lighng installed into Series 200, 300,
350, or 450 top rail:
Connue the enre light strip along the length of the top rail,
passing the light strip over the top of the posts and pickets.
For systems with lighng installed into Series 150 top rail:
Connue the enre light strip along the length of the top
rail, passing the light strip over the intermediate pickets,
through the pre-drilled holes and RCBs in the channel of the
Series 150 top rail.
For systems with lighng installed into Boom Rail:
Connue the enre light strip along the length of the boom
rail, passing the light strip through the pre-drilled holes and
RCBs in the channel of the boom rail insert (See Figure 3.6).
Corner post condions and newel post stair transions may

For systems with lighng installed into Series 200, 300, 350, or
450 top rail:
Measure the opening between the picket and post face on each
side of the picket (See Figure 4.1). These dimensions should be
equal.
Cut diffuser lens to length to fit on each side of the picket, using
a sharp ulity knife, or heavy duty ulity scissors/shears.
Insert diffuser lens into top rail insert, or top rail flanges, as
shown. (See Figure 4.2).
For systems with lighng installed into Series 150 top rail:
Follow the same instrucons for measuring and cung diffuser
lens to length, as for other top rails (shown above).
Trim 1-1/4” of the ‘tension flanges’ at the end of the diffuser lens
that will be under the top rail RCB. Trimming is best done with
a small backsaw or sharp ulity knife. This will keep the diffuser
lens from interfering with the boom of the RCB. (See Figure 4.3).
Insert diffuser lens into top rail insert, or top rail flanges, as
shown. (See Figure 4.4)

For systems with lighng installed into Boom Rail:
Measure opening between the post faces beneath the boom
rail (See Figure 4.5).
Cut diffuser lens to length, using a sharp ulity knife, or heavy
duty ulity scissors/shears.
Depending on the length of the boom rail it may require more
than one piece of diffuser lens to fill the enre length. In this
case, insert the full 36” lens, then trim the second lens to fit the
remainder of the opening.
Insert diffuser lens into boom rail infill, as shown (See Figure 4.6).
