Installation Guide

Follow these steps for proper installation of your recessed light. It is recommended to have basic electrical knowledge or consult a professional.

  1. Prepare the Area:

    Turn off the main power supply to the circuit at the breaker box before starting any electrical work. Use a voltage tester to confirm the power is off.

  2. Cut the Hole:

    Using the specified cut hole size of 8.07 inches (205mm), carefully cut a square opening in the ceiling at the desired location. Ensure there are no obstructions like joists or pipes within the ceiling space.

  3. Wire the Junction Box:

    Open the cover of the LED driver's junction box. Connect the household electrical wires to the corresponding wires inside the junction box using appropriate wire nuts (not included). Typically, this involves connecting the black wire to black, white to white, and ground to ground. Ensure all connections are secure.

  4. Secure the Junction Box:

    Once wired, close the junction box cover and fix the junction box securely within the ceiling space, ensuring it does not interfere with the light fixture's placement.

  5. Install the Light Fixture:

    Connect the light fixture's cable to the quick-connect port on the LED driver. Gently push the spring clips on the sides of the light fixture upwards. Insert the fixture into the prepared ceiling hole, ensuring the spring clips retract and firmly hold the light in place against the ceiling.
