What happens here

Now, install the various lighting fixtures. * **Path Lights:** As shown at 0:13-0:19, these are typically staked into the ground. Position them evenly along walkways or garden beds according to your plan. * **Step Lights:** Integrated step lights, as seen at 0:20-0:22, require cutting precise openings into the stair risers (if not pre-cut). Carefully fit the fixture into the opening and secure it. For surface-mount step lights, simply attach them to the riser surface. * **Up-Lights:** Place up-lights (0:23-0:25) at the base of trees, shrubs, or against walls to highlight features. Stake them firmly into the ground or mount them if they are flush-mount well lights. For each fixture, use a wire stripper to remove a small section of insulation from the fixture's lead wires and the main low-voltage cable. Use waterproof wire connectors to create secure and weather-resistant connections between the fixture wires and the main cable.

Goal: Install and connect all path, step, and up-lights to the main cable
