4. Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your recessed lights:

1. Turn Off Power: Before starting, ensure the power to the installation area is turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Cut a Hole: Use a hole saw to cut a 6.25-inch (15.9 cm) diameter hole in the ceiling at the desired location. Ensure there are no obstructions like joists or pipes.
3. Connect Wiring: Open the junction box cover. Connect the household electrical wires to the wires in the junction box using the provided quick connectors. Connect the live wire to the black wire, the neutral wire to the white wire, and the ground wire to the green wire. Secure the connections and close the junction box cover.
4. Connect Light Panel: Connect the cable from the recessed light fixture to the junction box cable. Ensure the connection is secure.
5. Mount Light: Gently push the junction box through the cut-out hole into the ceiling. Then, push the recessed light fixture into the hole. The spring clips on the sides of the fixture will secure it in place against the ceiling.
