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.

The process requires careful planning, electrical work, and basic carpentry/installation skills.
If adding new electrical wiring or fixtures, follow all safety precautions and local building codes. This may involve cutting into drywall, running wires, and connecting to a power source. If using plug-in lamps, simply position them as desired.
