4. Setup and Installation
This luminaire is designed for surface mounting. Professional installation is recommended.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and can support the weight of the fixture. Turn off power at the circuit breaker before beginning installation.

- Secure all wire connections with appropriate wire nuts or connectors.
- Secure the Luminaire: Once wiring is complete and connections are secure, attach the luminaire firmly to the mounting surface. Ensure no wires are pinched.
- Restore Power: Turn on power at the circuit breaker. Test the luminaire for proper operation and dimming functionality.
5. Operating Instructions
This luminaire features field-selectable color temperature and lumen output settings.
- Color Temperature Selection: Locate the CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) selector switch on the luminaire. This switch allows you to choose between 3500K (Warm White), 4000K (Cool White), and 5000K (Daylight) settings. Ensure power is off before adjusting this switch.
- Lumen Output Selection: Locate the Lumen selector switch on the luminaire. This switch allows you to choose between 1200, 1800, and 2400 lumens. Ensure power is off before adjusting this switch.
