Introduction
This manual provides installation instructions for Boost and Infinity 2.0 LED light bars for top lighting. For
under canopy lighting, use “Installation Guide, Under Canopy Lighting” located on Thrive Agritech’s website.
General Guidelines
•Confirm the overall integrity of the light bars 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.

Figure 1 shows the completed installation example of the lights (either Boost or Infinity 2.0) over a 4’x16’
canopy. The installation consists of 4 lines of lights, with each line containing 4 lights connected end-to-end
for a total of 16 lights over the canopy.

1) Attach the Unistrut bars to the mounting surface as shown in Figure 2. The first two Unistrut bars of
a line of lights should be approximately 36” apart, and all subsequent Unistrut bars should be about
47.25” apart.
2) Slide the cone nuts into the Unistrut bars and position them where the lights will be located (Figures
3 & 4). The center spacing of the light bars must match the lighting design provided by Thrive
Agritech to ensure proper light intensity and uniformity.
3) Position the Slide & Lock clips on top of the cone nuts and secure in place using ¼-20 x 1.5” machine
screws or hex bolts (Figure 5). Ensure all locking arms of the clips are facing the same direction.

4) Beginning with the Unistrut bars that are spaced 36” apart, secure the lights to the slide & lock clips
as shown in Figure 6, but leave the locking arms disengaged to allow the lights to slide and connect
with each other.

5) Once the lights are connected end-to-end, make any final positional adjustments such as ensuring
the ends of the lights are aligned.
6) Attach the interconnection clip as shown in Figure 7 to secure the lights mechanically and
electrically.
7) Compress the locking arms of the slide & lock clips to secure the lights in place.
8) Connect power cables to lights. Connect optional interconnection cables or dimming cables as
needed. When using interconnection cables to electrically connect fixtures side by side, ensure the
fixture direction is alternating male to female (Figure 8).
9) Cover any exposed connectors with the end caps.

1) Unpack the suspending kit (SKIT-BD) clips and cables.
2) Loosen of the cable screws for each cable and adjust the length of the cables so the lights will
hang at the desired height above the canopy. The cables are normally all set to the same length.
After setting the cables to the appropriate length, tighten the cable screws to lock in place.
Figure 9
3) Attached the suspension clips to the cables using the provided screw (Figure 10).
Figure 10
4) Secure the suspension clip & cable assemblies to the mounting structure (e.g., Unistrut, eye
bolts, hooks, etc.) at the positions above the canopy as specified in the lighting design. The cable
assemblies should be positioned so that two (2) suspension clips can attach to the light bar
approximately 6”from each end of the light.
5) Attach the Boost or Infinity 2.0 light bar to the suspension clips (Figure 11).

6) The lights are frequently electrically and mechanically daisy-chained by mating the ends
together. If creating end-to-end connections, attach an interconnection clip (INCLIP-BD) at the
connection point between the lights –Figure 11.
Figure 11
7) Connect power cables to lights. Connect optional interconnection cables or dimming cables as
needed. Lights that are physically separated may be electrically daisy-chained using
interconnection cables. Be sure not to exceed the maximum number of connected lights when
daisy-chaining (see page 2 of this guide or the product datasheet for the light.
8) Cover any exposed connectors with the end caps.
