Setup and Installation

The Lotos 6in LED Recessed Light is designed for easy installation in both remodel and new construction applications. An optional frame-in kit (part # RER-FRAME) is sold separately for pre-wiring in new construction.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Measuring Tape
• Drywall Saw or Hole Saw
• Wire Strippers
• Screwdriver

Installation Steps:

1. Turn Off Power: Before starting, ensure the power to the installation area is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
2. Determine Cutout Size: For the 6in fixture, a 5in cutout is required. Ensure ceiling thickness is between 0.5in and 1.5in.
3. Create Ceiling Opening: Use a drywall saw or hole saw to create the specified cutout in the ceiling.
4. Connect Wiring to Driver Box:

   The driver box includes 5 knockouts for electrical connections. Open the appropriate knockout and connect the building's electrical supply wires to the driver box. Connect the live (black) wire to the black wire of the driver, the neutral (white) wire to the white wire of the driver, and the ground (green/bare copper) wire to the green wire of the driver. Secure connections with wire nuts (not included) or appropriate connectors. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

5. Connect Light Engine to Driver Box: Connect the male-to-female quick connect locking cable from the LED light engine to the driver box. Ensure the connection is secure.
6. Insert Driver Box: Place the driver box through the cutout opening into the ceiling plenum. The shallow design requires less than 2 inches of plenum space.
7. Install LED Light Fixture:

   Push the LED light fixture into the ceiling opening. The retention clips on the sides of the fixture will spring up and hold the light engine securely in place against the ceiling.

8. Adjust Light Angle (Adjustable Models): For adjustable models, the gimbal allows for 360-degree pivot on a hinge, enabling adjustment from 0-90 degrees perpendicular to the ceiling. Adjust the light direction as needed.
9. Restore Power: Once installation is complete, restore power at the circuit breaker and test the light.

Note: The overall height of the fixture with the driver is less than 1.25 inches, designed to fit in tight spaces.
