Installing the JascoPro Series LED Direct Wire Dimmable Light Fixture is a manageable task when following these steps. Always prioritize safety and turn off the power at your main circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Cut the Power: Turn off the electricity at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Choose Mounting Spot: Select a clean, dry location that can support the fixture. For best light distribution, consider mounting near the front lip of cabinets.
- Remove Lens/Diffuser: Gently remove the lens or diffuser by pulling the back edge towards you and upwards.
- Detach Housing from Base: Use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws holding the housing to the base. Push the housing's bottom front forward to unlatch it.
- Remove Knock-Out Tab: Choose a knock-out location on the fixture and carefully remove it with a screwdriver.
- Install Strain Relief: Insert the strain relief into the knock-out hole and secure it.
- Mark Mounting Holes: Position the base where you want the fixture. Use the keyholes as guides to mark the mounting locations with a pencil.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at your markings. Use the correct drill bit for your specific wood type (softwood or hardwood).
- Insert Screws: Drive screws into the pilot holes, leaving their heads slightly protruding.
- Mount the Fixture: Align the fixture's keyholes with the screws and slide it into place.
- Attach Cover: Hook the cover onto the mounted base using the built-in flanges.
- Insert Power Cable: Run the power cable through the strain relief and into the fixture, securing it.
- Connect Wires: Connect the black (hot), white (neutral), and green/copper (grounding) wires. Follow the instructions provided with your fixture.
- Arrange Wires and Reattach Housing: Make sure no wires are exposed. Neatly arrange the wires inside and reattach the housing.
- Reattach Lens/Diffuser: Carefully push the lens or diffuser back into place.
- Restore Power: Once the fixture is completely installed, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Refer to the detailed installation instructions included with your JascoPro Series LED Direct Wire Dimmable Light Fixture for further assistance.
