NOTE: When a fixture is installed in a location that requires servicing from below the ceiling through the fixture aperture, the branch
circuit connections need to be able to be brought out through the aperture.To accomplish this, an NM type cable in conjunction
with snap-in/push-in connectors must be used and a 12” service loop must be left available outside of the fixture housing wiring
compartment to allow additional branch circuit wiring to be pulled through the snap-in/push-in connector and extended out
through the aperture below ceiling level.
