INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Mounting (Hanging Bracket Assembly ) 2 of 2

Mud-In Ceiling Trim flush with

projected location of ceiling drywall

Ceiling Line

Tighten hex

nuts as needed

Slide luminaire with Hanging

Bracket Arms onto Rail Bracket

Lead Wire

Mount luminaire to Rail Brackets by sliding luminaire with assembled Hanging 
Bracket Arms into Rail Brackets. Ensure each Hanging Bracket rests at the 
center of each Rail Bracket.

9

Secure a tie wire to each Hanging Bracket Arm after luminaires are set in place.

Note:

 Refer to the diagrams on page 3 for details.

13

Secure connections between continuous runs using Connector Blocks after all 
luminaires have been mounted.

Note:

 Refer to steps on page 16 for details.

10

Install Ceiling Trim after all runs have been mounted and connected. 

Note:

 Follow the steps on page 17 to install Ceiling Trim.

11

After all luminaires are mounted, adjust height and levelness of each luminaire 
by tightening or loosening hex nuts on Hanging Bracket assembly. Use a dummy 
piece of drywall to perfect the height at which the luminaires will rest. 
The drywall will be tucked into the gap between the Hard Ceiling Trim and the 
concealed ceiling grid when hung.

Note:

 One person holds the luminaire and another person adjusts hex nuts.

12

If applicable, position the driver in the center of luminaire and secure using set 
screws (by others). Do not mount drivers between luminaires.

Note:

 Driver size and location of mounting holes may differ from below example.

14

Apply mud to trims until completely covered and smooth. Allow to dry completely 
before painting or sanding. Do not use pre-mixed mud compounds.

19

Make wiring connections from driver to 1st PCB. Pull lead wires from luminaire 
and make splice connections to lead wires from driver. Verify wiring diagram 
before connecting.

15

Verify driver wire colors from wiring diagram, then connect luminaires to power 
source. Drivers used for this product vary. Always confirm wiring diagram from 
driver installation instructions before connecting.

17

Verify that all Ceiling Trims are securely leveled, then screw trim to drywall 
using countersink screws. Use 1 screw per 2’ of trim, rounded up. Drill holes in 
ceiling trim if necessary.

18

After all installation steps are complete and lighting is confirmed to be working, 
install reflective film to runs.

Note:

 Follow the steps on page 18 to install reflective film.

20

Perform a continuity test before connecting luminaire to power source.
Refer to page 19 for continuity test step by step.
