Installation Instructions
These ultra-thin LED downlights are designed for easy installation, even in spaces with limited clearance. They are IC rated, allowing direct contact with insulation.
- Prepare the Opening: Cut a 6.10-inch (155mm) diameter hole in the ceiling at the desired location. Ensure there is at least 2 inches of clearance above the ceiling for the fixture.
- Connect Wiring: Open the junction box. Connect the electrical wires from your power supply to the corresponding wires in the junction box (Live, Neutral, Ground) using appropriate wire connectors. Ensure all connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
- Connect LED Panel to Driver: Plug the connector from the LED panel into the corresponding port on the driver within the junction box.
- Insert into Ceiling: Gently push the spring-loaded clips on the sides of the LED panel upwards and insert the light fixture into the prepared hole. The clips will secure the light firmly against the ceiling.
