1. Remove the metal cover by
loosening the screw.
2. Locate the 2 pre-wired
sockets from inside the housing.
Remove the metal plate by
loosening the screw. Push the
sockets so that they snap into the
slots on the top plate. Re-attach
the metal plate to the housing by
tightening the screw.
3. Turn the fixture over and
locate the center knockout. Make
sure the fixture is supported on
the underside and break part of
the knockout away using a
hammer and screw driver. Twist
out the knockout using pliers.
4. Position the housing on the
ceiling with the center knockout
over the electrical box. Mark the
ceiling for the pilot hole locations
through the small holes on either
end. Drill 1/8” pilot holes at each
location. Determine the
appropriate way of fastening the
fixture to the ceiling (wood screws
or toggle bolts, not included).
Note: Toggle bolts will require a
larger pilot hole. Secure the
fixture to the ceiling using the
appropriate fasteners.
5. Connect the ground wire to
the ground screw located near the
center knockout. Connect the
black wire from the fixture to the
black wire from the electrical box.
Connect the white wire from the
fixture to the white wire from the
electrical box. Once wires are
connected, carefully tuck wires
and marretts into the metal outlet
box.
6. Alternatively, if an outlet
(electrical) box is not available,
if the fixture doesn’t cover the
outlet (electrical) box entirely or
if the electrical leads are coming
from either end of the fixture,
please consult a qualified
electrician for Armour Cable or
Conduit Electrical Feed type of
installation.
7. Re-attach the metal cover to
the housing. Slide the end with
the 2 tabs into the 2 holes at the
end of the fixture and position the
wire cover onto the fixture.
Secure in place using the same
screw removed earlier.
8. Install proper bulb type and
wattage. Insert the pins on both
ends of the fluorescent tube into
the lamp holders on both ends.
Rotate the tube until a slight
"click" is felt. Repeat for additional
bulbs.
