Installation
The installation process varies depending on whether you are performing a new construction or a remodel.
New Construction
An aluminum rough-in plate is recommended. Position the plate across two joists and secure it in four places using the mounting slots. Run electrical wire from the switch to the location and anchor it appropriately.
Remodel Installation
No mounting plate or can is required.
- Turn off power at the electrical panel.
- Locate the installation spot and trace the outline of the cut-out template on the ceiling.
- Cut the hole following the outline. Refer to the Hole Cut Sizes table in the manual for specific dimensions (2-inch or 4-inch round/square).
- Run electrical wire from the switch through the mounting hole using NMD90 Romex or BX cable.
Wiring
Ensure power is turned off at the source before proceeding.


- Open the hardwire box swing cover and remove the appropriate knockout.
- Insert the electrical supply cable and secure it with a cable connector.
- Connect the wires using wire nuts: green/ground to green, white to white, and black to black.
- Use the CCT slider switch inside the driver junction box to set the desired color temperature.
- Place all wiring back into the box, close the cover, and ensure wires are not pinched.
- Insert the hardwire box through the mounting hole.
Fixture Installation
- Connect the fixture to the hardwire box by twisting the male/female connectors together.
- Push the spring-loaded clips on the fixture upwards and insert the base into the mounting hole.
- Release the clips so the fixture is pulled flush to the ceiling.
