Photobiological†:
Warranty: 5-years, visit www.pllight.com for warranty conditions.
†Photobiological risk is based on testing of the light output characteristic of a single luminaire. Increased exposure risk to facility personnel may
be present, depending on number of luminaires and their placement and/or positioning within the facility. It is the responsibility of the facility
management to address these risks at the facility level and to ensure that people entering the plant growth areas while the lights are on, are
aware of these risks and that appropriate safeguards are in place.

3 PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES AND
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Always adhere to the local and national building and
electrical codes when installing or using the luminaire.
• Turn off and lock out the branch circuit before
commencing installation or maintenance work.
• Luminaires must be mounted min. 5" from walls and/
or other flammable materials.
• Do not open or disassemble the luminaire, it
contains no serviceable parts inside. Opening
the luminaire can be dangerous and will void the
warranty.
• Never look directly into the light source when
luminaire is turned on. Doing so can cause damage
to the eyes.
ATTENTION
• The end user is responsible for ensuring correct
installation and use of the product. Incorrect
installation can cause damage or defects to the
product.The warranty shall become void if the
product and/or electronic components are damaged
due to incorrect installation.
• The performance of the luminaire may be
compromised if operated outside of the
recommended ambient temperature guidelines.
4 INSTALLATION
4.1 PREPARATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
1Turn off and lock out the branch circuit..
2Refer to your light plan for specified mounting
locations.
3Remove the luminaire from the packaging and
check the contents (see section 2.2).
WARNING
Set the luminaire down with the glass lens facing
down on a cushioned surface to prevent damage.
4Gather any additional tools and/or hardware that
may be required to mount the luminaire.
If using mounting hardware other than the
original brackets supplied with the luminaire,
hardware must be able to support ≥60 lbs (27.2
kg) and be suitable for the surface(s) it is applied
to. Mounting solution must be approved during
inspection by local authorities having jurisdiction.
4.2 INSTALLING THE LUMINAIRE
STEP 1: MOUNT LUMINAIRE
The luminaire can be mounted to the supporting
structure in multiple ways, the most common options
are shown below:
OPTION A: Standard Track/Truss Mount
1With one person supporting the luminaire on
either end, raise the luminaire so that it sits
flush beneath the track/truss.
2Lower one of the supplied mounting brackets
over the top of the track/truss at either end
of the luminaire. Insert the open ends of the
bracket into the mounting channel.
ATTENTION
Ensure that the two ends of the wire bracket
are facing toward the center of the luminaire
(away from the connectors on the ends), this
will allow for easier removal of the brackets if
the luminaire needs to be moved. If the brackets
are installed with the ends facing the connectors,
a screwdriver will be required to remove them
which could chip the paint on the luminaire.

ATTENTION
Check the dimensions
of your track/truss to
ensure proper fit with
supplied wire mounting
brackets.

While still supporting the luminaire from below,
push down on brackets until they clip firmly in
place.
OPTION B: O-Set Bracket Mount
1Place the luminaire (with the glass lens facing
down) on a cushioned surface to prevent damage.
2Insert the open ends of the supplied mounting
brackets into the mounting channel on either
end of the luminaire at a 45° angle, then tilt the
brackets upright until they clip firmly in place.
Ensure that the two ends of the wire bracket are
facing toward the center of the luminaire (away
from the connectors on the ends), this will allow
for easier removal of the brackets if the luminaire
needs to be moved. If the brackets are installed
with the ends facing the connectors, a screwdriver
will be required to remove them which could chip
the paint on the luminaire.
3
Raise luminaire and secure the attached mounting
brackets to previously installed wire brackets (not
supplied) as shown below.
OPTION C: Thread Fastener Mount
Both legs of the
bracket should be
securely seated within
their respective
channels to ensure
luminaire is adequately
supported.
WARNING
Both legs of the
bracket should be
securely seated
within their
respective channels
to ensure luminaire
is adequately
supported.
WARNING
ATTENTION

1Place the luminaire (with the glass lens facing
down) on a cushioned surface to prevent damage.
2
Secure two M6 thread fasteners (not supplied)
directly to roof structure in desired mounting
location.Thread 2x M6 hex nuts (not supplied)
onto the end of each of the fasteners, allowing
for a 1/4 in. gap between the nuts. Raise luminaire
to ceiling and slide onto the fasteners, so that the
nuts sit securely on the inside of the channel, on
either end of the luminaire (as shown below).
Tighten M6 nuts with 10 mm wrench.
Adjust level if necessary.
ATTENTION
Fasteners should be positioned ± 6 in. (15 cm)
from either end of the luminaire when mounted.
If using mounting hardware other than the
original brackets supplied with the luminaire,
hardware must be able to support ≥60 lbs (27.2
kg) and be suitable for the surface(s) it is applied
to. Mounting solution must be approved during
inspection by local authorities having jurisdiction.

Dimming Applications — Daisy Chained Units
HortiledTop luminaires can be “daisy-chained” in series
(see chart on page 12 for maximum number of luminaires
per daisy chain). Each string of luminaires will have a main
supply cord and daisy-chain connector cords.
1Turn off and lock out the branch circuit.
