• Drill two fixing holes in the rear of the luminaire housing, mark the location of the fixing
holes and drill ensuring not to infringe with any gas/water pipes or electrical cables

ensuring not to infringe with any gas/water pipes or electrical cables
• Remove a knockout from the backbox (see Fig. 3)
• Feed the mains cable into the backbox (at this stage there is no requirement for
maintaining the IP rating)
• Fix the backbox securely into the wall flush with the wall surface. Mortar around the
backbox if necessary and allow to set before continuing
• Drill two fixing holes on the rear of the luminaire housing to align with the screw pillars in
the backbox
• Feed the mains cable through one of the cable entry grommets in the luminaire housing
(see Fig. 2) ensuring a good seal is made to retain the IP rating
• Secure the luminaire to the backbox using the M4 screws and rubber washers provided
(see Fig. 4)

L - Live (brown), N - Neutral (blue)
• Select the desired colour temperature by means of the sliding switch on the LED gear tray
(where applicable)

against the terminal block which may cause it to open, and secure it with all four screws
ensuring a tight seal is made
• Select a decorative accessory if required, and hold it in place while fitting the appropriate
outer frame – the deep frame should be used if surface mounting; the shallow frame if
recess mounting
