This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to properly install your new lighting fixture using the recess mount technique. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure a secure and aesthetically pleasing installation.
Step 1: Preparing the Installation Site
Before beginning the installation, ensure that the power supply is turned off at the breaker to prevent any electrical hazards. Choose the location where you wish to install the fixture and make sure it is suitable for recessed mounting.
Step 2: Cutting the Hole
- Using a drill equipped with a 2 1/8” diameter hole saw attachment, carefully cut a hole on the desired surface where the fixture will be installed. Wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from debris.
- Ensure the hole is cleanly cut and free of any obstructions that might interfere with the installation of the fixture.
Step 3: Discarding the Decorative Cover
- The fixture comes with a decorative cover piece that is not required for recessed mounting. Remove this cover from the fixture and discard it or store it should you decide to use it for future applications.
Step 4: Wiring the Fixture
- Take the fixture wires and gently feed them through the hole you have prepared on the surface.
- Retrieve the wires from the transformer (make sure the transformer is compatible and properly rated for your fixture). Connect these wires to the fixture wires using the wire nuts provided. Ensure a secure and safe connection by twisting the wire nuts until they are tight, and the wires are firmly held together.
Step 5: Installing the Fixture
- Locate the springs on either side of the fixture. These springs are designed to hold the fixture in place once installed.
- Gently compress the springs and insert the fixture into the hole. Make sure that the springs are properly aligned to allow them to expand and secure the fixture against the mounting surface.
- Once the fixture is in place, release the springs carefully to ensure that the fixture is securely mounted. Adjust as necessary to achieve a flush and secure fit with the surface.
Final Check:
- After the installation is complete, restore power at the breaker and test the fixture to ensure it is working properly. Adjustments can be made to the positioning if necessary.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your fixture with recess mounting. Enjoy your new lighting setup and the enhanced ambiance it brings to your space. If you encounter any issues during installation, consult with a professional electrician to ensure safety and proper installation.
