4. Setup & Installation
The Lumishore DL50 LUX Downlight is designed for flush mounting with a shallow depth, making it suitable for various overhead applications.
4.1. Pre-Installation Checklist
- Verify power is disconnected at the source.
- Ensure you have the necessary tools: drill, hole saw (appropriate size for flush mount), wire strippers, crimpers, sealant (marine grade if applicable).
- Confirm the mounting surface is suitable and has sufficient clearance for the light's shallow depth.
4.2. Installation Steps
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location for the downlight, ensuring it provides adequate illumination and is clear of obstructions.
- Cut Mounting Hole: Using a hole saw of the appropriate diameter (refer to specifications for exact dimensions), carefully cut the mounting hole in the desired location. Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris.
- Wiring: Route the power cables to the mounting hole. Connect the downlight's wires to your vessel's electrical system according to the wiring diagram provided with your LUX Light Control Module (sold separately or integrated). Pay close attention to polarity and color coding for CRGBW functionality. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated, especially in a marine environment.
- Secure Downlight: Gently push the downlight into the mounting hole. The spring clips on the sides of the downlight will secure it in place. Ensure the bezel sits flush against the mounting surface.
- Seal (Optional but Recommended for Marine): For added protection in wet environments, apply a thin bead of marine-grade sealant around the bezel where it meets the mounting surface.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power to the circuit.
