Installing Deck Lighting, Deck Railings, and Final Walkthrough!

What happens here

After cutting holes for the sconce lights, feed the long lead wires from the light fixture through the pre-drilled holes in the deck siding. Position the internal LED unit against the siding, ensuring a 3/16-inch reveal from the top, then pre-drill screw holes. Secure the LED unit with screws using a drill/driver. Once the LED unit is fastened, slide the decorative cover plate over it, ensuring it sits flush and covers the internal components. The video shows installing these fixtures approximately every four feet, with a higher placement in the middle of the bar section for a visual accent.

Goal: Securely mount and cover the sconce lighting fixtures on the deck siding.
