Install Lighting Fixtures

What happens in this clip

Once the wiring is in place, install each type of lighting fixture. Mount the up-down wall sconces at their marked positions, connecting them to the pre-run wiring within their base. For linear LED strips, secure them into their channels (if used) and mount the channels to the wall or panels. Connect the LED strips to their power supplies, ensuring they are properly sealed. Place garden spotlights inside the planters, running their low-voltage wires discreetly and connecting them to a compatible transformer and the main power.

Goal: Mount and connect all wall sconces, LED strips, and garden spotlights.
