The first step in designing your Wall Monorail System is to determine what it is you are trying to light. You will need to decide where the elements should be installed to put light where you want it.

The second step is to draw your Wall Monorail run. Remember, Wall Monorails can be shaped by hand to follow a curved wall or soffit. Your Wall Monorail must be placed so it runs directly in front of the junction box if using a remote transformer or within two feet of the junction box if using a surface transformer. Determine how many pieces of rail you'll need. You may add a pair of end caps to the each end of the run for an elegant finishing touch.

The next step is to add up the wattages of the lamps you'll be using on the system. This will help you select a transformer. A remote transformer with a power feed canopy provides the cleanest look, but the remote transformer must be installed in an accessible, remote location. A surface transformer simply mounts to a nearby junction box and requires end or center power feed connectors to bring power from the transformer to the run.

Finally, you will have to add standoffs. You'll need one standoff for every three feet of Wall Monorail. The power feed canopy counts as a support, so begin adding standoffs three feet from the power feed canopy.
