6: Connect the black LED power supply wire to 120 volt hot
power wire with a wire nut.

7: Connect one 12 volt power supply (red wire) in parallel to
one wire going to each fixture electrical box with wire nuts.
Connect the other 12 volt power supply wire in parallel to the
other wire going to each fixture electrical box with wire nuts.
(See wiring diagram on page 4).

1: Install an outdoor electrical box onto the wall or post next to
