- Prepare Ceiling Opening: Create an appropriate size opening in the ceiling for the 8-inch downlight. Refer to local building codes for exact requirements.
- Wiring Connections:
- Connect the black wire from the fixture's pre-wired whip to the live (hot) wire from the power supply using a wire nut.
- Connect the white wire from the fixture's pre-wired whip to the neutral wire from the power supply using a wire nut.
- Connect the green (ground) wire from the fixture's pre-wired whip to the ground wire from the power supply using a wire nut.
- For 0-10V dimming, connect the purple wire to the dimmer's positive (+) dimming control wire and the gray wire to the dimmer's negative (-) dimming control wire. If not using dimming, cap these wires individually.
