Read all safety precautions and installation instructions carefully
before installing or servicing this fixture. Failure to comply with
these instructions could result in potentially fatal electric shock
and/or property damage.
It is recommended that all wiring be performed by a qualified
electrician. This fixture must be wired in accordance with all national
and local electrical codes.
Do not handle any energized fixture or attempt to energize any
fixture with wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp surface or
in water.
Make sure that the power source conforms to the requirements of the
fixture (see labels on fixture housing).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to assure proper operation,
this fixture must be adequately grounded. To accomplish proper

Assembly Instructions
1. Preparing for installation
A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part
of this fixture.
B. Identify the ceiling pan side diffuser assembly (1) and lower
diffuser (2).
2. Wiring
All wiring must take place inside junction box. Caution :
Make sure power is off at fuse or circuit breaker box. Check power
wires for damage or scrapes. If power supply wires are within three
inches of ballast use wire suitable for at least 90C (194F). Note: Most
dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated to 60C. Consult a
qualified electrician before installing.
A. This unit will not operate properly unless connected to a
“grounded” electrical circuit. Electrical shock, over heating, low or
no light output, and shortened lamp life can result if proper
grounding is not done. Securely attach green (or green and yellow)
wire to ground supply wire.
B. Using wire connectors (provided), connect white supply wire to
white ballast lead. Connect black hot supply wire to black ballast
lead. Do not mix wires. Pull on each wire lead to make sure
connections are secure. Make certain no bare wires are exposed
outside of wire connectors.

A. Junction box mounting; Attach ceiling pan (1) to junction box through keyholes with two #8 –32 x 1” screws (provided).
4. Lamps
A. Install compact fluorescent lamps into sockets (not provided).
5. Diffuser mounting
A. Lift and shift the lower diffuser (2) into the ceiling pan side diffuser assembly (1) while passing the threaded rod (3) through the
hole in the lower diffuser. Allow the lower diffuser to rest on the diffuser arms.
B. Secure the lower diffuser in place by threading the finial (4) onto the threaded rod.
6. Power to the fixture can now be restored.
7. Care and Maintenance
A. Periodically dust the diffuser (inside and out) with a clean, dry cloth. Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth as needed. Never use
abrasive cleaners.
