cMe3 Packing List

cMe3 comes fully assembled and ready for installation! Before beginning the installation process, please familiarize
yourself with the fixture and make sure there is no damage to the fixture due to transit. Compare carton contents to
the CMe3 Packing List. If any parts are damaged do not attempt to install the fixture.
cMe3 is fully encapsulated in a protective foam pack and every precaution has been taken to ensure your unit
arrives safely and ready for use; however, damage in shipment can occur. In the unlikely event the Main Body
Housing diffuser is damaged in transit, please notify Brightline and a replacement part will be sent to you. We have
included a diffuser Allen wrench (Part D) to remove the diffuser if required, please keep this Allen wrench in a safe
place for future use if needed.
Unpacking cMe3

cMe3 can be installed by hardwiring direct to a wall junction box with 120V-240V AC circuit OR you can mount
cMe3 to the wall surface and plug into a standard 120V 50/60 Hz three-prong outlet.
WARNING - RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK. FIXTURE MUST BE INSTALLED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL, LOCAL BUILDING AND
ELECTRICAL CODES. DISCONNECT POWER AT ELECTRICAL PANEL BEFORE BEGINNING OR
SERVICING.
Junction Box Installation
1. Before beginning any installation, be sure to turn off the power at the service breaker panel. Failure to do
so may result in a fire and electrical shock.
2. Install the Canopy Back Plate (B) directly to the wall mounted junction box as shown –junction box
mounting screws are not included. Make sure the Canopy Back Plate is level and secure. Pass the supply
wire from the branch circuit through the Canopy Back Plate for Step 3.
Installation Instructions

3. Connect the Supply Black, Ground and White (L-G-N) wires from the junction box to the terminal
connection box of the cMe3 as shown below.
IMPORTANT: THERE ARE THREE (3) WIRES (SHOWN BELOW) FROM THE MAIN HOUSING CANOPY
THAT CONNECT TO THE PLUG-IN RECEPTACLE AND ARE ONLY USED FOR THE PLUG-IN POWER
SUPPLY INSTALLATION METHOD.
4. Install the Main Housing Canopy to the Canopy Back Plate as shown above. Tuck the supply wires into the
junction box and align the four slotted holes on the Main Housing Canopy with the Canopy Back Plate
holes. Use Canopy Allen Wrench (E) and the four screws provided with the Main Housing Canopy to
secure to the Canopy Back Plate by turning clockwise until tight.
5. Return power to the branch circuit at the service breaker panel and proceed to the section Setting Up Your
cMe3 Remote.

Power Supply Installation

Plug-In Power Supply Installation
1. Install the Canopy Back Plate (B) to a secure wall surface using an appropriate fastener for the specific
surface type. Because of the various types of installation methods and wall materials, hardware is not
provided for this step. Be sure the method to anchor the Canopy Back Plate (B) is rated to hold cMe3
weight and normal usage. A 120V 50/60 Hz AC 3-prong outlet must be within five feet of the Canopy Back
Plate to ensure a direct connection using the Plug-in Power Supply (C). Make sure the Canopy Back Plate
is level and secure before proceeding to the next step.

2. Cut the three Safety Tabs from the Black, Ground and White (L-G-N) wires that come from the Plug-In
receptacle as shown below –the Safety Tabs are designed to differentiate between the Junction Box and
Plug-In Power Supply installation methods. After cutting the safety tabs clean the wires with a wire
stripping tool or similar to about 3/8” as shown.
3. Connect the Black, Ground and White (L-G-N) wires from the Plug-In receptacle located in the Main Body
Housing to the terminal connection box of the cMe3 as shown below.

4. Remove the receptable Plug-In cover plate as shown below using a #2 Philips Screwdriver (not included).
5. Install the Main Housing Canopy to the Canopy Back Plate as shown below. Be sure to tuck all wires
neatly into the Main Housing Canopy and align the four slotted holes on the Main Housing Canopy with the
Canopy Back Plate holes. Use Canopy Allen Wrench (E) and the four screws provided with the Main
Housing Canopy to secure to the Canopy Back Plate by turning clockwise until tight.

Setting Up Your cMe3 Remote
1) Install two type AAA batteries (not included) in the cMe3 Remote (F) and close the back cover. Have the
remote nearby for Steps 2 –4.
2) Once cMe3 is installed and power is going to the fixture, proceed to turn the fixture ON using the round
toggle switch at the bottom of the Main Housing Canopy.
3) Press and hold down the Remote (F) ON button within five (5) seconds of turning ON the Main Power
Toggle Switch.
4) While holding down the remote ON button the cMe3 Light Bar will start to “blink” on and off. Continue to
hold down the ON button through the blinking phase; once the blinking stops the cMe3 remote will be
synchronized to the fixture. It is recommended to leave the cMe3 Main Power Toggle Switch in the ON
position at all times and use the Remote (F) to turn the fixture ON and OFF and utilize the remote dimming
and temperature change functions.
