- Wire the Junction Box: Open the junction box cover. Connect the household wiring to the wires inside the junction box using appropriate wire nuts (typically black to black, white to white, and ground to ground). Secure the wires and close the junction box cover.
- Connect Light to Junction Box: Connect the male/female cables from the LED panel to the junction box. Ensure a secure connection.
- Insert Light into Ceiling: Gently push the junction box through the cut-out hole into the ceiling cavity. Then, push the LED light fixture into the hole. The spring clips on the sides of the light will secure it firmly against the ceiling.
