4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Before You Begin
- Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Ensure the installation location is suitable for recessed lighting (dry or damp location approved).
- Determine the desired placement for each panel.
- Gather necessary tools: measuring tape, pencil, drywall saw or hole saw, wire strippers, safety glasses.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Cut Hole: Using a hole saw or drywall saw, cut a 4-inch (100 mm) diameter hole in the ceiling at the desired location. Ensure there are no obstructions behind the ceiling.
- Open Junction Box: Open the cover of the separate junction box. Remove the appropriate knockout(s) for your electrical wiring.
- Connect Wiring: Feed the electrical supply wires (live, neutral, and ground if applicable) into the junction box. Use the push-in wire connectors inside the junction box to connect the house wiring to the fixture's wiring (black to black, white to white, ground to ground). This fixture is designed to work with 2-wire systems (no ground required) in older homes.
- Secure Junction Box: Close the junction box cover and secure it. Place the junction box through the cut hole into the ceiling cavity. Its low-profile design allows for installation in tight spaces.
- Connect Panel to Junction Box: Connect the cable from the LED panel to the cable extending from the junction box. Ensure the connection is secure.
- Insert Panel: Push the spring-loaded clips on the LED panel upwards and insert the panel into the ceiling hole. The clips will hold the panel securely in place.
- Adjust Gimbal: Once installed, adjust the 30° gimbal to direct the light as desired.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

5. Operating Instructions
The Luminus LED Gimbal Panel operates immediately upon power being supplied. It is designed for use with standard wall switches and most LED-compatible dimmers. For optimal dimming performance, ensure your dimmer is compatible with LED lighting.
- On/Off: Use a standard wall switch to turn the light fixture on or off.
- Dimming: If connected to a compatible dimmer switch, adjust the dimmer to control the light intensity.
- Directional Light: The 30° gimbal allows you to manually adjust the direction of the light beam to highlight specific areas or objects.
6. Maintenance
The Luminus LED Gimbal Panel is designed for long-lasting, maintenance-free operation. No bulb replacement is necessary as the LEDs are integrated into the fixture.
- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure power is off. Use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the finish or electrical components.
- Lifespan: The LEDs have an estimated lifespan of 35,000 hours, providing years of reliable lighting under normal use.
