Installaon Instrucons
Drivers are available in a variety of waages. In general a driver should not exceed more than 80% of its rated waage.
(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 25 feet. If one secon of lighng is longer than 25 feet, it
must be broken into mulple smaller secons and run on separate circuits.
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.

Power Kits - Installaon
Step 1 – 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
enclosure should be within 5 feet of the post that
will accept the 11' extension cable, acࢼng as the
lead wire to the first strip light. If necessary, up
to 30 feet of 14 AWG wire can be used between
the driver and the 11' extension 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 using wire nuts.
Connect 11' extension cable(s) and route outside
of driver to post.
If necessary, run up to 30 feet of 14 AWG wire
to a wet-locaon mini juncon box and transi-
on to solder connector.

STEP 2 - DRILL POSTS AND ROUTE LEAD WIRE
Note: Running the lead wire through the post is easier when done
prior to mounࢼng post.
Determine locaon that lead wire will enter post.
Note: Depending on the post mounࢼng method, and enclosure
locaࢼon relaࢼve to the post, the lead wire entrance point may
vary. (See Figure 1.2 for typical recommendaࢼons)
Drill 1/2” diameter hole in post at desired lead wire entrance
locaon and insert supplied grommet, part #1114. (See Figure 1.1)
For Series 150: drill a 1/2” diameter hole vercally centered
between the top RCB holes and insert supplied grommet (See
Figure 1.3). This will allow the light strip wiring to pass through
the RCB hollow. Repeat this step for each post which will have
light strips running through it.

If installing boom rail lighng: drill a 1/2” dia. hole,
at 7/16” below and centered between the boom
rail RCB holes and insert grommet. (See Figure 1.4)
Repeat this step for each post which will have light
strips running through it.
Insert lead wire into grommet hole, then fish
through post as necessary:
• If installing top rail lighng only: Aach
addional 11' extension cable to be run to
the top of the post. Use an addional 40"
extension cable, if necesary. (See Figure 1.5)
• If installing boom rail lighng only: Fish lead
wire through hole under RCB. (See Figure 1.6)
Pull top rail lead wire out through top of post (See
Figure 1.8).
Note: For Series 150: Lead wire will pass through
grommeted hole at top of post. Use masking tape
to temporarily secure lead wire(s) to outside of
post to prevent retracࢼng back into post.
Post can now be mounted per DesignRail
installaon instrucons.

Light Kits - Top Rail Installaon
Step 1 - Prepare Railing Frame
For Series 200/300/350/450: aach 3/4” wide
piece of standard infill to top of intermediate
pickets using #10 x 3/4” screw (See Figure 2.1).
For Series 150: intermediate picket can be directly
aached to flange of channel.
Follow standard DesignRail installaon
instrucons for aaching boom rail, or picket
base plate, and install picket sub-assembly panels.
(Standard DesignRail wih Horizontal Cable Steps
11-13)
For Series 200/300/350/450: measure the
opening between the picket and post face on
each side of the picket (See Figure 2.2). These
dimensions should be equal.
For Series 200/300/350/450: 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 lead wire by starng insert at a slight
angle and rotang up and into top rail (See Figure
2.3).
Secure intermediate picket to top rail.
For Series 200/300/350/450: Use (2x) #8 x 1”
self-tapping screws (See Figure 2.4).
For Series 150: intermediate picket should already
be aached to flanges on top rail.

Step 2 - Install Strip Lights
Aach female connector of light strip to male connector of
top rail lead wire (See Figure 2.5).
Remove adhesive strip cover and discard. Insert light strip
into isert channel,while feeding leadwire back into post and
roung opposite end connector up and over intermediate
picket. Follow included mounng instrucons for adhesive
strip to ensure proper bond (See Figure 2.6).
Stuffexcess wiring back into post, or in gap above
intermediate picket. Avoid allowing wiring to hang below
light strip, as this can create ‘cold spots’ by blocking the
light from emming through the diffuser lens.
Connue ‘daisy-chaining’ light strips together by
connecng female connector to male connectors, for up
to 25 feet.
Aach end cap to male connector end of final light strip
(See Figure 2.7).

Step 3 - Install Diffuser Lens
Measure the opening between the picket and post face on each
side of the picket (See Figure 2.8). 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.
For Series 150: 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 2.9).
Insert diffuser lens into top rail insert, or top rail flanges, as
shown. (See Figure 2.10)

Light Kits - Boom Rail Installaon
Step 1 - Prepare Railing Frame
Measure opening between the post faces beneath the boom
rail (See Figure 3.1).
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 3.2).
Install boom rail inert between posts (See Figure 3.3).

Step 2 - Install Strip Lights

rail lead wire (See Figure 3.4). If necessary aach addional light
strips to male connector to fill enre length of boom rail channel
Remove adhesive strip cover and discard. Insert light strip into
boom rail infill channel, while feeding lead wire back into post.
Follow included mounng instrucons for adhesive strip to
ensure proper bond (See Figure 3.5).
Stuffexcess wiring back into post. Avoid allowing wiring to hang
below light strip, as this can create ‘cold spots’ by blocking the
light from emming through the diffuser lens.
Connue ‘daisy-chaining’ light strips together by connecng

Step 3 - Install Diffuser Lens
Measure opening between the post faces beneath the boom
rail (See Figure 3.7).
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 48” 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 3.8).
