INSTALLING THE HANGING KIT

DRIPLOOP

Unscrew the bottom of the ceiling mount adapter and insert themounting screw into the top. Using the screw, securely attach theadapter to a hard surface which is attached securely to a solidbeam or stud. Mounting the light directly into drywall, particle board, or similar material may cause the fixture to come unsecured and fall. If attaching directly to drywall without using a stud, using a heavy duty drywall anchor is highly recommended. (Figure 1)

Feed the hanging wire, thin end first, through the bottom of the ceiling mount adapter until the bulb is snug against the bottom. Screw the bottom into the fastened ceiling mount adapter until it is tightened snugly. (Figure 1)

Unscrew the bottom of the hanging kit adapter and feed the hanging wire into the slot. Screw the bottom back into the hanging kit adapter until it is secure. If adjustments are needed, partially unscrew the bottom, adjust as desired, then re-tighten the screw. (Figure 2)

Tightly screw the two light attachment screws into the holes located near the cooling fans on the top of the fixture. (Figure 2)

While pressing down on the thin shaft at the top of the hanging kit adapter, feed the hanging kit wire through until it is set to the desired length. Releasing the shaft will lock the wire in place. If adjustments are needed, depress the locking shaft and raise or lower the light as desired.

Once the light is securely mounted and all desired adjustments are made, connect the light to the power adapter and plug into a power source. Make sure to make a drip loop before the plug in the wall. (Figure 3)
