There are many way you can fit the LanternLITE™. The manual specifically covers how to
face fix a LanternLITE™ on top of a batten/angle inside a reveal, however the basic
principles apply to any installation.
Some of the most common fixing options are shown below.

Option 1 - Battens
If you are face fixing the blind to the
underside of the batten, set the fixing
profile back in the reveal by at least 93mm
from the bottom of the batten to ensure
the blind headbox is within the reveal.
Proceed to fit all 4 lengths of profile
ensuring the profile it level.
If you are face fixing the blind to the
top of the fixing profile, fit one length of
box section to the control end of the
window reveal.
This is the start of the shelf.
Offer the other 3 fixing profiles into
position and drill fixing holes ready for
these to be fitted into place.
Do not fix these into position yet.
Decide if you want to use battens or angles.

6
Option 2 - Angles
Make installation easier, faster and neater
with L-fixing angle profiles to create a
shelf around all sides of the blind.
Face fixing the blind to the top of the angle
profile, fit one length of angle profile to the control
end of the window reveal.
This is the start of the shelf.
Offer the other 3 fixing profiles into
position in the reveal using a spirit level
and drill fixing holes ready for these to be
fitted into place.
Do not fix these into position yet.
