Insert Bulbs
Install included bulbs in lights, being careful not to touch xenon bulbs with fingers. Close covers.
Finish Installation
Plug in lighting system and turn each light on. If lights are on a hardwired outlet/switch system, the hardwired switch will control the lights. If lights are not on a hardwired outlet/switch system, turning the first light in the chain on will turn all lights on. Tip: Large amounts of excess cord can be trimmed off without special tools or wiring knowledge from plug end. With power disconnected, trim plug end of cord to desired length, removing 1/8-inch of insulation on trimmed end. Slide the cover off plug and remove old cord end then push shortened cord down firmly into channel, piercing cord on metal contacts. Finally, bend at a 90-degree angle and slide cover back onto the plug.
