Preparation
Fixture Installation
DO NOT USE THIS FIXTURE WITH A DIMMING CIRCUIT.
If you presently have dimmer controls,
you will need to remove them, and replace them with regular electrical switches. If you have a
three way dimmer, you will have to replace it with a regular three way switch.
If you are unfamiliar with electrical installations, we recommend you have a qualified
electrician do your installation.
Remove the old fixture. Make yourself a sketch of how the
fixture is wired (index the sketch by wire color) or mark the
wires themselves with masking tape and a pencil so you will
know how to connect the wires to your new fixture
(Fig. 2)
. If
several wires are involved or if the wiring seems more
complicated and perhaps even includes a red wire, take note
of the connections before you disconnect them.

WARNING:
Shut off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
panel before removing the old fixture
(Fig. 1)
.
english
Pull the existing supply wires around the sides of the
mounting bracket
(Fig. 2)
. Do
NOT
pull the supply wires
through the center hole of the mounting bracket. Using your
old electrical box screws, secure the mounting bracket to the
electrical box.
1
Screw the long machine screws (included) into the threaded
holes on the mounting bracket
(Fig. 1)
. If your mounting bracket
has more than 2 threaded holes, measure the center-to-center
distance of the holes to make sure it matches the hole
openings in the ceiling pan of your fixture. Make sure your
machine screws protrude downward far enough to pass
through the elongated holes in your pan.
2
For safety and proper operation, your fixture must be
properly grounded.
If you are unfamiliar with the methods of
properly grounding your fixture, consult a qualified
electrician. A copper ground wire is pre-attached to your
fixture pan. If your electrical box is made of plastic and/or
has a green or bare copper grounding wire inside, the
fixture grounding wire and the electrical box ground wire
should be connected together using one of the small wire
nuts (included)
(Fig. 6)
. If your electrical box is made of metal and is already grounded, you
simply secure the bare end of the fixture ground wire to the crossbar using the green
grounding screw on the crossbar
(Fig. 5)
.

Connect the supply leads from the electrical box to the
fixture wire leads using the medium wire nuts supplied in
your installation hardware kit as per the illustration. The
black lead from the fixture goes to the black
supply lead, and the white lead from the fixture
goes to the white supply lead
(Fig. 7)
. Secure
the wire nuts properly to prevent the wires
from coming loose. Tape the wire nuts to the
wire using electrical tape. Carefully push the
excess wires back inside the electrical box.

6
Position the fixture pan over the electrical box so that the
machine screws protruding from the face of the
mounting bracket pass through the elongated holes in
the fixture pan
(Fig. 8)
. Secure the fixture pan to the
electrical box with the nuts and washers provided in your
hardware kit. The fixture pan should be tight up against
the ceiling surface.
7
To install the bulb socket, snap the metal socket clip into the
rectangular hole until you feel it snap
(Fig. 3)
. Feed the bulb
socket wires through the circular wire hole, pull
them through on the other side as much as you
can without pulling it tight
(Fig. 4)
.
Fig. 9
Insert the proper GU24 base 13W compact fluorescent bulb
into the socket
(Fig. 9)
. Depending on the store where you
purchased your fixture, it may or may not include the bulb
with it. If you need to purchase a bulb, you will need to
purchase a
13 Watt CF13W/self-ballasted GU24 base
compact fluorescent bulb. Hold the bulb by its’ base, insert
the pins into the 2 curved slots in the bulb socket and twist
clockwise until the bulb "seats". The bulb can only go into the socket one way. Do
NOT
force
the bulb.
CAUTION: DO NOT HOLD THE BULB BY THE GLASS DURING INSERTION OR
REMOVAL TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL BREAKAGE! HOLD THE BULB BY THE PLASTIC BASE.
