What happens here
Strategically plan the placement of the low-voltage LED accent lights within the vertical planks, as seen in the video. Using an appropriate drill bit size, carefully drill holes for the lights in the selected vertical planks. Route the outdoor-rated low-voltage wiring behind the screen structure, connecting each light fixture. Ensure all connections are secure and protected within outdoor-rated junction boxes. Connect the entire lighting system to a low-voltage transformer, which should be plugged into a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet.
Goal: Embed accent lighting within the privacy screen for evening ambiance
