General Guidelines
•Confirm the overall integrity of the light bar prior to installation.
•Maintain at least 8 inches (0.2 meters) between the light fixture and any combustible materials.
•Keep the light fixture away from sources of heat.
•The LED light is an indoor fixture operated within an ambient temperature range of -20oC to 30oC.
•Ensure power is off before installation. Installation must be carried out by qualified electricians.
•To clean the light fixture, switch power off and use a dry cloth without corrosive cleaning agents.
Daisy-Chaining
The maximum number of lights that can be daisy-chained together at various input voltages is shown in the
tables below. Also shown is the nominal current supplied to each fixture. 16AWG wire is recommended.

Permanent Installation Instructions
1) Prepare the adjustable trellis support structure as shown in Figure 1. Adjust the square tubing to the
desired height. The lights will be mounted to the square tubing in subsequent steps.
2) For each light bar, attach 2 slide & lock clips (SLCLIP)
to the square tubing using ¼”-20 bolts (Figure 2). A
hole may need to be drilled through the square
tubing for the bolt. The clips should be positioned
approximately 6”-8” from where the ends of the
light bars will be located.
3) Attach the light bars to the main center clips shown
in figure 2 but leave the locking arms disengaged to
allow the lights to slide and connect with each other
(Figure 3).

4) Once the lights are connected, attach the interconnection clip (INCLIP-BD) as shown in Figure 4 to
secure the lights mechanically and electrically.
5) Compress the locking arms of the slide & lock clips (SLCLIP) to prevent the lights from moving along
the length of the square tubing (Figure 5).
6) Repeat steps 1-5 for all under canopy lights in the grow room. Note the maximum number of lights
that can be connected (daisy-chained) is shown on page 4 of this guide and on the light bar product
datasheet.
7) Connect power cables to lights.

Temporary/Test Installation Instructions
For a temporary setup of under canopy lighting for the purpose of testing / trials, a simpler and faster
installation method is often preferred.
1) Place a container pot every 4-feet along the length of the test bench where the connection points of
the lights are anticipated (Figures 6 & 7).
2) Connect two light bars together using the interconnection clip
(INCLIP-BD) as shown in Figure 8 to secure the lights
mechanically and electrically. Place connected light bar
assembly on top of the container pots with the connection
point (interconnection clip) resting on the container pots.
3) Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the entire test bench or test grow room.
4) Connect power cables to lights.
5) Optional: For a more robust and flexible test setup, use the installation method described in the
prior section for a permanent installation.
