GENERAL: All electrical connections must be in accordance with local and
National Electrical Code (N.E.C.) standards.
instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before beginning. If you are
unfamiliar with proper electrical wiring connections obtain the services of a
qualified electrician.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1.
Check if the power source is suitable for the added electrical load.
Power should be supplied by a 110/120 volt, 60 Hz single circuit. The
rated wattage is marked on this product. When installing multiple lights
on a branch circuit, follow NEC guidelines to determine the maximum
number of allowable lights (1400 Watts for a 120 Volt, 15 Ampere
circuit). If a dimmer is used, do not exceed its rated wattage limit.
2.
This fixture is an IC type fixture. It may come in direct contact and
be completely covered with thermal insulation that has an R-value
of 50 or less. Some insulation types that meet this requirement
are blanket batting/roll and blown-in loose fill. Do not install in a
ceiling with spray foam type insulation. Any part of the fixture may
come in direct contact with any combustible material, such as a ceiling
joist or floor board.
3.
This fixture requires an existing ceiling surface, such as drywall, for
installation. To install this fixture, a hole needs to be made into the
ceiling surface at the desired location. Then, power supply wiring (NM
cable) needs to be installed from the power source to the hole.
4.
This fixture is designed for ceiling surfaces that are 3/4" thick or less.
Do not use this fixture on ceiling surfaces that are thicker than ¾".
5.
This fixture may be installed over a wet or damp location such as a
shower stall or bathtub enclosure. The area above the ceiling surface
must, however, be a dry location.
6.
To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges
of sheet metal or other sharp objects.
UNPACK THE FIXTURE
Check the contents of the box. You should have:
•
1 – Fixture
•
1 – Hole Template (4 ¼" (10.8 cm) diameter)
•
3 – Wire Connectors
INSTALLING THE FIXTURE
NOTE: First turn off electricity at the circuit breaker or the fuse box. Turning
the power off by using a wall switch is not sufficient to prevent electrical
shock.
1.
Choose the location for the fixture, taking into consideration the 5"
depth clearance requirement, the location of ceiling joists and the
accessibility for the electrical supply. Mark the selected location with a
circle using the provided template.
Using a keyhole saw make a 4 ¼" (10.8 cm) hole in the ceiling surface.
2.
(Fig. 1) (Note: Be sure not to make the hole any larger than specified
by the template.
An oversized hole may not allow for proper
installation.)

WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT
MAIN POWER AT FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER
BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THE FIXTURE.
3.
Run non-metallic (NM) cable (also known as Romex) from your circuit
breaker or fuse panel to the hole, providing 6" (15,2 cm) to 8" (20,3 cm)
of slack extending below the hole. Cable having up to 12 AWG wiring
may be used. (Fig. 2) (WARNING - Use cables having wires rated
90°C or more.)

4.
Open the door of the junction box. Insert about 5 or 6 inches of the NM
cable into the junction box through one of the provided strain-relief slots.
(Fig. 3)
Remove at least 3" of the cable's outer sheath and remove the plastic
5.
or paper over-wrap. Strip approximately 3/8" of insulation from the ends
of all supply wires. Using the wire connectors, make the following wire
connections within the junction box (Fig. 3):

6.
Carefully stuff the wires and the wire connections into the junction box.
Close the junction box top door. Tighten the fastening screw.
7.
Raise the fixture up to the ceiling hole, while simultaneously pushing
the excess NM cable into the hole. (Fig. 4)
8.
Flip up and squeeze the spring-loaded wings against the junction box,
as shown, and insert the fixture into the hole, junction box first. (Fig. 4)
