- Connect Wiring: Open the junction box cover. Connect the house wiring (live, neutral, ground) to the corresponding wires inside the junction box using appropriate wire connectors. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Secure Junction Box: Place the junction box into the ceiling opening. It is designed to be canless, allowing direct contact with insulation.
- Insert Fixture: Connect the downlight fixture to the junction box via the provided connector. Fold the spring-loaded mounting clips on the sides of the downlight upwards.
- Mount Fixture: Carefully push the downlight fixture into the ceiling hole. The spring clips will automatically engage and secure the fixture against the ceiling surface.
- Restore Power: Once the fixture is securely installed, restore power at the circuit breaker.
