WARNINGS
• Before installing, servicing, or performing routine maintenance, follow these general
precautions.
• For the installation: If you are unsure about the installation or maintenance of this fixture,
consult a qualified licensed electrician and check your local electrical code.
• Do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during
kit installation.
• Turn off the power and unplug fixture when you perform any maintenance.
• Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing it with the luminaire’s information label.
• DO NOT remove cover lens, except for cleaning. To clean lens, use a mild soap or detergent
(e.g. common dishwashing liquid) and lukewarm water using a clean soft cloth.
• Removal of lens cover other than for cleaning will void warranty.
• DO NOT touch or wipe the LED strips. If cleaning is needed, use only compressed air can (e.g.,
air can for cleaning computer keyboards) to blow off the dust.
• Manual cleaning or touching of LED strips will void warranty.
Be sure that the xture is unplugged from the power source before installation.
1. Install each of the wire hangers into the outside holes on both ends of the xture
(see below). Make sure the wire hangers are fully engaged into the holes.
2. Locate your ceiling joist with a stud nder. If you cannot locate the joist, insert expansion
anchors into the ceiling. The anchors (and the hooks used with them) should be rated
to hold at least 50 lbs each.
3. Screw an eyebolt, J-hook, or some other means of hanging the xture securely from the
ceiling into the joist or anchor. Screw a second eyehook further down the joist or in an
anchor to balance hanging the xture.
4. Attach a chain, rope, or other sturdy material to the eyehooks
(we recommend Hydrofarm’s Light Riser, item code LULIFT).
5. Secure the chain, rope, carabiner clips, etc. to the wire hangers.
6. Use a cable tie to secure the power cord to the hanging cord/chain so that the cord’s
weight doesn’t tilt the xture.
7. Adjust the xture’s height to the desired distance above the plant canopy.
8. Clean any residues/ngerprints from the lens with a soft cloth.
Congratulations. You are ready to power up your high output LED fixture!
