INSTALLING RECESSED HOUSING:
To avoid electric shock or injury to persons, disconnect power prior to installation.
1. Determine desired location for light. NOTE: 120V AC supply power is needed in the
ceiling plenum at this location.
2. Using the cut-out template, mark the cutting line for installing the remodel housing.
3. Cut this hole from the drywall or surface material using an appropriate saw or cutting
tool and remove cut-out material. NOTE: The size of the cut-out hole is very important!
Do not exceed 3-3/8“ (86mm) in diameter! Proper installation of housing and light
engine depend upon correct sizing of cut-out.
4. Locate supply power in ceiling plenum. Pull supply wires through cut-out and strip
back conductors 3/8”. See Figure 1.
5. Push upward on the junction box closure clip to release the junction box cover.
See Figure 2.
6. Punch out the knockout that is most suited for the installation. Use UL Listed
cable clamp connector (not included) to provide strain relief for supply wires.
7. Route minimum 18AWG solid copper wires through knockout via cable connector.
Attach line voltage AC supply wires to driver lead wires inside of junction box: Black to
Black, White to White, Green or bare wire to Yellow/Green (Ground). Secure each
connection using the quick connectors provided on the
driver lead wires. See Figure 3.
8. Replace junction box cover by lining up tabs and
pressing firmly until closure clip snaps in place.
NOTE:
Be sure that the wires are not pinched or
damaged by any part of the junction box or its cover.
