2. Hang the unit to a secure surface using the wire cable hangers provided (optional light
hanger systems can be purchased separately). Never stand underneath the unit.
3. Install lamps (examine the label to determine the correct lamp) into the system. Insert
both ends of the lamp into the lamp sockets and rotate the lamp 90 ° in either direction.
