CAUTION

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read these

instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before beginning.

2. All electrical connections must be in accordance with local code,

ordinances. If you are unfamiliar with methods of installing electrical

wiring, secure the services of a qualified licensed electrician.

3. IMPORTANT: This fixture is either an IC type or Non-IC type fixture.

A Non-IC type fixture is intended for use in recessed cavities or

suspended ceilings where the recessed portions of the fixture,

other than at points of support, must be a minimum of 3” from

thermal insulation and at least 1/2” from combustible material (e.g.

ceiling joists, floor boards). (Fig. 1)

CEILING INSTALLATION

1. Choose the location for the fixture, taking into consideration the 6” depth

clearance, the location of ceiling joists and the accessibility for the

electrical supply. For Non-IC models, a 1/2” clearance from the joists and

floor boards and 3” clearance from insulation must also be considered.

Mark the selected location using the provided template.

2. Using a keyhole saw make the hole in the ceiling surface. (Fig. 2) (Note:

Be sure not to make the hole any larger than specified by the template.

An oversized hole may not allow for proper installation.)

An IC type fixture may also be used in recessed cavities.

However, it may come in direct contact with thermal insulation.

Any part of the fixture may be covered by thermal insulation.

Please review the packaging or the product labels to determine

your fixture type. (Note: A housing with a white-painted can is a

Non-IC type fixture and one with a bare-metal can is an IC type

fixture.) If you have determined that your housing is a Non-IC

type, be sure to space any insulation away a minimum of 3”.

4. This fixture is thermally protected. A blinking light indicates thermal

insulation has been placed too close to the fixture, or an incorrect lamp

has been installed, or heat from another source is affecting the fixture.

Always double check your intended locations prior to making holes in

the ceiling for installation.

5. This fixture is a remodel type fixture. A remodel type fixture is for

applications where there is an existing ceiling surface, such as drywall,

and the ceiling joists are not accessible. For applications where there

is no ceiling surface and the ceiling joists are accessible, such as when

a home is under new construction, a new-construction type fixture

should be used.

6. Note: This remodel type fixture uses special C-clips to secure itself to

the ceiling material. The C-clips are designed for surfaces that are

between 3/8” and 5/8” thick. These C-clips will not work on surfaces

thicker than 5/8”.

7. Before starting the installation, disconnect the power by turning off the

circuit breaker or by removing the appropriate fuse at the fuse box.

Turning the power off by using the light switch is not sufficient to

prevent electrical shock.

8. Check if the power source is suitable for the added electrical load.

Power should be supplied by a 120 volt, 60 Hz single circuit. A

standard 120 volt, 15 amp branch circuit is designed to carry a

maximum load of 1800 watts. We recommend that the total wattage of

all the lights and appliances, on that circuit, not exceed 80% or 1440

watts, of the maximum electrical capacity.

UNPACK THE FIXTURE

Check the contents of the box. You should receive:

• 1 – Housing (can, junction box)

• 1 - Trim assembly (kits only)

PREPARING AND MOUNTING THE FIXTURE

NOTE: First turn off electricity at the circuit breaker or the fuse box. Turning

the power off by using a wall switch is not sufficient to prevent electrical shock.

• 1 – Template

• 3 – C-clips

Note: Hanger bars are not provided. They must be purchased separately.

3. Proceed to the “ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS” section to connect the

housing to the home / building electrical supply.

4. Attach the provided C-clips onto the inside surface of the can by inserting

the ends into the provided T-slots, as shown. Feed the junction box

through the ceiling hole, followed by the can. Allow the C-clips to hang

on the inside surface of the can until the can is completely inserted into

the ceiling. (Fig. 3)
