5. Installation Instructions
The Allsmartlife 1x2 FT LED Flat Panel Light supports three types of installation: Surface Mount, Drop Mount, and Recessed Mount. Always ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before starting installation.
Image: Overview of the three available installation methods.
5.1. Surface Mount Installation
- Prepare the Mounting Frame: The light fixture comes with a mounting frame attached. Carefully detach the frame from the light panel by cutting any zip ties or releasing clips.
- Mount the Frame: Position the mounting frame on the ceiling where the fixture will be installed. Mark the screw holes. Use an electric drill to create pilot holes and secure the frame to the ceiling using the provided screws and drywall anchors (if necessary).
- Connect Wiring: Pull the electrical wires from the ceiling junction box through the center opening of the mounting frame. Connect the live (black), neutral (white), and ground (green/bare copper) wires from the ceiling to the corresponding wires on the LED driver using the provided wire caps.
- Attach Safety Rope: Connect the safety rope from the light panel to the hooks on the mounting plate to prevent accidental drops during final installation.
- Secure Light Panel: Carefully slide the LED panel light onto the mounting frame, ensuring it locks securely into place.
- Test: Restore power at the circuit breaker and test the light fixture.

5.2. Drop Mount Installation
A suspension kit is required for drop mount installation (not included in the standard package). Ensure the ceiling can support the suspended weight.
- Install Suspension Cables: Drill holes in the ceiling at appropriate spacing (e.g., 36-37 inches apart for a 1x4FT light, adjust for 1x2FT). Install the base of the suspension cables into the ceiling.
- Thread Cables: Thread the lanyard (suspension wire) into the nut and stretch the rope. Adjust the length of the lanyard as desired.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the electrical wires from the ceiling to the LED driver as described in the Surface Mount section.
- Attach Light Panel: Pass the suspension ropes through the hooks on the light fixture. Secure the light panel to the suspension cables, ensuring it hangs level.
- Test: Restore power and test the light fixture.

5.3. Recessed Mount Installation
This method is suitable for ceilings with existing openings or grid systems.
- Prepare Ceiling: Turn off power. Remove the existing ceiling tile or prepare the opening for the fixture.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the power cord from the ceiling to the LED driver.
- Insert Fixture: Tilt the light panel and insert it through the ceiling gap. Carefully position it within the grid or opening.
