1. Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the power to the circuit is off at the breaker. Clear the area where the panel light will be mounted.
2. Assemble the Frame: Carefully connect the frame components of the surface mount kit using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure and the frame forms a rigid rectangular structure.
3. Mark Mounting Points: Position the assembled frame on the desired mounting surface (e.g., ceiling). Use a pencil to mark the locations for drilling pilot holes for the mounting screws. Ensure the frame is level and properly aligned.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Use appropriate drill bits for your mounting surface (e.g., wood, drywall, concrete). If mounting into drywall, insert the provided wall anchors.
5. Mount the Frame: Secure the frame to the ceiling using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the frame is firmly attached and stable.
6. Install the LED Panel Light: Carefully slide the compatible 1x4 FT LED flat panel light (sold separately) into the mounted frame. Ensure it fits snugly and is properly seated.
7. Connect Electrical Wiring: Follow the wiring instructions provided with your LED panel light. Make all necessary electrical connections, ensuring they are secure and insulated.
8. Secure the Panel: Once the panel light is in place and wired, secure it within the frame according to the panel light's instructions, if applicable. Some frames may have clips or additional screws for this purpose.
9. Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker and test the light fixture.

5. Post-Installation Considerations

After successful installation of the LumeGen Flat Panel Surface Mount Kit and your compatible LED panel light:

• Ensure the light fixture operates as expected.
• Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness, especially after initial installation.
