5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for safe and proper installation of your B.K.Licht IRIS LED Recessed Spotlights:

- Connect Wiring: Pull the electrical wires through the cut-out hole. Connect the spotlight's wires to your household electrical wiring according to local electrical codes. Typically, this involves connecting live (L) to live, neutral (N) to neutral. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
