Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Ceiling: 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 and junction box.

3. Secure Junction Box: Place the junction box through the cut-out hole into the ceiling cavity.
4. Connect Light Fixture: Connect the light fixture's cable to the junction box's output cable using the waterproof connectors.
5. Install Light Fixture: Push the spring clips on the side of the light fixture upwards and insert the fixture into the ceiling hole. The clips will automatically secure the fixture in place, holding it flush against the ceiling.
