Installation Instructions
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Ensure the main power supply is turned OFF at the circuit breaker before beginning any electrical work.
Step 1: Prepare the Ceiling Opening
Mark the desired location for the spotlight on the ceiling. Use a pencil to trace the outline.
Using a drill and a 70-75mm hole saw, carefully cut an opening in the ceiling. Ensure there is adequate clearance above the opening: minimum 10cm (a) and minimum 30cm (b) from ceiling structures or obstructions.

Step 2: Assemble the Spotlight Housing
Prepare the spotlight housing for installation. This may involve attaching or positioning spring clips.

Carefully insert the assembled spotlight into the prepared opening in the ceiling. The spring clips will automatically engage to hold the fixture in place.
