- Install Ceiling Hooks: Drill pilot holes at the marked points. Insert wall anchors if mounting into drywall. Screw the ceiling hooks (V-hooks) into the anchors or directly into a sturdy structure.
- Attach Chains: Connect the hanging chains to the V-hooks on the ceiling and the S-hooks on the fixture. Adjust chain length to achieve the desired hanging height.
- Connect Power: Plug the 5 ft. power cord into a standard 120V AC outlet.
Surface Mounting
- Mark Mounting Points: Hold the fixture against the desired mounting surface (ceiling or wall) and mark the locations for the mounting screws.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Use wall anchors if mounting into drywall.
- Secure Fixture: Align the fixture with the pilot holes and secure it using the provided mounting screws.
- Connect Power: Plug the 5 ft. power cord into a standard 120V AC outlet.
Linking Multiple Fixtures
Up to 6 KODA Multi-Directional Shop Lights can be linked in series. To link fixtures:
- Ensure all fixtures are securely mounted.
- Connect the power cord of the first fixture to an outlet.
- Use the provided linking cable (if applicable, or an additional power cord) to connect the convenience outlet on the first fixture to the power input of the second fixture.
- Repeat for additional fixtures, up to a maximum of 6.
