Start the Installation
1. Install all power / data supplies, including any interfaces with controllers. Power
/ data supplies and external controllers send power and control signals to the
Luminaires over a single 3-conductor cable.
2. Ensure that the number of free power / data supply power ports is adequate.
3. Verify that all additional supporting equipment (switches, controllers) is in place.
4. Ensure that all additional parts and tools are available, including:
• The included 8-32 screws for indoor junction box installations, the included
10-24 stainless steel screws for outdoor installations, or the included M-4
screws if using the Mounting Base
• The included 3/32 in hex key wrench
• One Mounting Base per Luminaire, or one 102 mm (4 in) round US electrical
junction box per Luminaire, rated for your application, with 89 mm (3.5 in)
center-to-center screw holes for attaching the Luminaire’s base. (Refer to
the junction box manufacturer’s literature for additional items required for
mounting or sealing.)
• Medium wire nuts
• If mounting to a surface using the Mounting Base, #8 screws, suitable for the
mounting surface, and lock washers
• If installing to a junction box, or if extending the native power / data cable
included with the Mounting Base, 18 AWG, 3-conductor stranded copper wire
as required
• Conduit as required
• If installing in a wet or damp location, the included junction box gasket or
Mounting Base gasket, and contractor-grade room temperature vulcanizing
(RTV) silicone sealant as required
Install the Luminaires
ColorBurst 6 Luminaires can be used freestanding with the Mounting Base, or they
can be mounted to a wall, ceiling, or other suitable surface using the Mounting Base
or a junction box suitable for your application. In wet or damp locations, ensure that
all junction boxes are suitable for the environment and are sealed.
Mounting ColorBurst 6 to a Junction Box
ColorBurst 6 Luminaires are designed for mounting in a 102 mm (4 in) round US
electrical junction box, rated for your application, with 89 mm (3.5 in) center-to-
center screw holes for attaching the Luminaire’s base. If installing in a wet or damp
location, mount Luminaires to outdoor-rated junction boxes and seal them with
contractor-grade room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone sealant.
1. Mount junction boxes in accordance with the lighting design plan.
2. Pull 18 AWG, 3-conductor stranded copper wire from the junction box to the
power / data supply. The maximum cable for an individual Luminaire is 45.7 m (150
ft). The total cable length for each power / data supply cannot exceed 121.9 m
(400 ft).
3. If installing in a wet or damp location, run the wire leads from the ColoBurst 6
Luminaire through the included junction box gasket.
4. Trim the Luminaire’s 152 mm (6 in) wire leads as necessary, then connect the wire
leads to the junction box using medium wire nuts. Connect red to 24 VDC, white
to data, and black to common, and neatly tuck wires into the junction box.
