Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker.

  1. Prepare the Ceiling: Cut a circular hole in the ceiling at the desired location. The recommended cut-out diameter is approximately 11 cm (4.33 inches). Ensure there are no obstructions within the ceiling space.
  2. Connect Wiring: Open the junction box. Connect the household electrical wires to the push-in connectors inside the junction box.
    • Connect the black (live) wire from the ceiling to the black wire in the junction box.
    • Connect the white (neutral) wire from the ceiling to the white wire in the junction box.
    • This fixture is designed to work with 2-wire systems and does not require a ground wire.
  3. Secure Junction Box: Place the junction box into the ceiling opening. The low-profile design allows for installation without traditional recessed housing.
  4. Connect Panel to Junction Box: Connect the cable from the LED panel to the corresponding connector on the junction box. Ensure a secure connection.
  5. Install LED Panel: Gently push the spring clips on the sides of the LED panel upwards and insert the panel into the ceiling opening. Release the clips to secure the panel flush against the ceiling.
  6. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
