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).

This fixture does not use a mounting bracket to secure it to the

electrical box. Instead, it is secured to the box by the

included screws specifically designed to ground the

pan to a metal electrical box. For safe operation, use

only the 1-1/2 electrical box screws included in the

hardware kit included with the fixture. Screw them

into the electrical box until there is about 3/8 in. between the

ceiling and the underside of the screw head (Fig. 1).

Insert the proper GU24 base 27W compact fluorescent bulbs into

their sockets (Fig. 10). (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 27 Watt

CF27W/ 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 bulbs. CAUTION: DO NOT HOLD THE BULBS BY THE

GLASS DURING INSERTION OR REMOVAL TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL BREAKAGE! HOLD THE BULB BY

THE PLASTIC BASE.

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 (Fig. 5). 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. 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 (Fig. 6).

Locate the key hole slots on the pan. The inner two (2) are set at a

distance that will accommodate a standard electrical box mount.

Position the fixture pan over the electrical box so that the machine

screws protruding from the electrical box pass through the

elongated keyholes in the fixture's pan. Once both screws are

through the keyholes, twist the pan, until both screws are up

against the smaller end of the slot (Fig. 7). Hold in place and tighten the screws very tightly. The

hardware kit includes two (2) screws specifically designed to ground the fixture to a metal electrical

box. Tighten the screws until the underside of the screwhead is cutting through the paint on the

fixture's surface and the pan is tight up against the ceiling surface. The underside of the screwhead is

designed with a serrated edge, that when tightened against a painted surface will cut through to

make contact with the metal underneath. In order for a ground to be made, the screws must be

tightened to make a bare metal to bare metal contact.

A harp is included in your hardware kit. There are grooves on each

side of the harp. Line up one side of the

harp with the elongated oval in your

fixture’s pan and insert until it reaches

the groove (Fig. 8). Turn so it faces the

T-shaped slot, then squeeze until the

harp fits into the slot (Fig. 9). Release to

lock harp into place.

For safety and proper operation, your fixture must be properly

grounded (Fig. 4). If you are unfamiliar with the methods of

properly grounding your fixture, consult a qualified electrician. A

green or bare copper ground wire is pre-attached to your fixture

pan. If your electrical box is plastic and has a green or bare

copper grounding wire inside, the bare end of the fixture

grounding wire must be secured to the green grounding wire

inside your electrical box using the small wire nut (included). If

your electrical box is metal and contains no ground wire as part

of a grounded electrical system, see #5, as the metal chassis

will be grounded via the electrical box mounting screws.

To install the bulb socket, snap the

metal socket clip into the

rectangular hole until you feel it

snap (Fig. 2). 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. 3).
