in water.
This fixture is designed for use in a 110-120VAC, 60Hz fused circuit.
Do not use on a dimming circuit.
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. Remove the appropriate knockout(s) for power supply entry.
2. Fixture mounting
A. To locate, hold channel (1) up to ceiling (wall) with power
supply knockout located over entryway for power supply
wires. Mark the locations of the mounting holes on the
ceiling (wall). Take the channel (1) down and punch a small
hole into the ceiling (wall) at each location using a nail to see
if there is a wood joist. If there is a joist use a suitable wood
screw (not included) to mount the channel (1). Where there
is no joist to screw into use a toggle bolt (not included) of
suitable length to mount channel (1) securely to the ceiling
(wall).
B. Feed the black and white supply wires and the green ground wire into the fixture through the open knockout hole. At this
time you can finish mounting the channel (1) to the ceiling (wall)
3. Wiring
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 90
o C (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, overheating, 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 green ground screw provided.
B. Using wire connectors (not 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 to make sure connections are secure. Make certain no bare wires are
exposed outside of wire connectors.
C. Attach lamp sockets (2) into cutouts on channel end at each end of fixture and snap into place with socket inside facing center
of channel.
D. Install channel cover (3) by laying on channel (1) and screw cover with 8-32 screw and lock washer (4) (provided) (Both
sides)
E. Install appropriate lamps (5) (not included) by inserting lamp pins into lamp holder and rotate into place to set lamp for
proper connection.
F. Restore power at fuse or circuit breaker box.
Note: If strip is mounted vertically, be sure that labeled end of lamp (lamp cathode) is towards ceiling.
