Setup and Installation

Tools Required

  • Drill with Phillips head bit (or screwdriver)
  • Wire cutters/strippers
  • Hammer (if removing existing outlet box)
  • Drywall saw (or box cutter)
  • Wire nuts (if not using smart connectors)
  • Safety glasses and gloves (recommended)

Pre-Installation Steps

  1. Turn off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the light fixture you intend to replace. Flip the breaker to the OFF position to ensure no power is supplied to the wiring. Verify with a voltage tester if unsure.
  2. Remove Existing Fixture: Carefully remove the existing light fixture. This may involve unscrewing a globe, removing light bulbs, and then detaching the fixture from the ceiling. Disconnect any existing wiring.
  3. Prepare Wiring: If replacing an existing fixture, you may need to remove the old outlet box. Ensure the existing wires are properly stripped for connection.

Cutting the Hole

  1. Use the provided cutting template to mark the desired hole size on the ceiling.
  2. Carefully cut the hole using a drywall saw or box cutter. Start with a smaller hole and gradually enlarge it if necessary, as it's easier to make a hole bigger than smaller.
  3. Be mindful of any wires or studs behind the drywall while cutting.

Wiring the Junction Box

  1. Open the junction box provided with the Ensenior light.
  2. Connect the house wiring (black, white, and ground/bare copper) to the corresponding smart connectors inside the junction box. Match black to black, white to white, and ground to green.
  3. Ensure a secure connection by pushing the wires firmly into the connectors until you hear a click or feel a pop.
  4. Tuck all wires neatly into the junction box and close the lid.

Mounting the Light

  1. Connect the cable from the junction box to the light fixture using the male/female connectors.
  2. Push the junction box into the ceiling hole.
  3. Fold the spring clips on the light fixture upwards and insert the light into the ceiling hole. The clips will spring back down, securing the light flush against the ceiling.
