This downlight requires only 2 inches of ceiling clearance for installation.

4.1. Prepare the Ceiling Hole

1. Measure and Mark: Double-check and measure the existing ceiling hole. If a new hole is required, use the provided hole template or a drill saw with the appropriate diameter (5.9 inches for the back hole size) to mark the center and cut the opening. Ensure the hole size allows the luminaire's outside trim to cover it while the spring clips secure the fixture.
