DH-NICT TRAY
RECESSED LEDX DOWNLIGHT HOUSINGS AND TRIMS
INSTALLATION
Before beginning any DOWNLIGHT
installation, disconnect electrical power
at a main switch or circuit breaker.
A. CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and potential damage to the recessed
housing assembly when electrical power is
re-connected, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT the following on the branch circuit
serving the recessed downlight assembly:
•Motors •Power tools •Extension cords
•Appliances or similar electronics
6.
Install and mount the recessed downlight housing on a structurally
sound surface.
7.
Do not install the recessed downlight
assembly closer than 6” from curtains, exotic veneers, or similar combustible or heat sensitive materials.
8.
DH-NICT recessed housing tray assembly may be installed in dry or
damp locations only.
9.
The National Electrical Code (NEC)
requires a minimum spacing of 3” to
insulation or any other combustible
material on any non-IC housing installation.
C. HOUSING INSTALLATION
1. HANGER BAR PLACEMENT
Hanger bars may mount to long side
(fig.1) or short side (fig.2) of housing
tray.
Fig.1
Fig.2
To install hanger bars on housing tray, slide mating halves together, joining
through mounting bracket on housing tray sides (fig.3). Position is secured by tightening 2 bracket screws.
10. Do not attempt this installation if you

mounted in ceiling/plenum conditions where
ambient temperatures do not exceed 40°C.
Lucifer Lighting LEDX housing tray must be
used with Lucifer Lighting LEDX downlights.
Ensure AC input voltage is protected against
surges & load shifts prior to power supply input.
B. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Read installation instructions completely before attempting installation.
2.
Failure to follow these instructions
may result in an improper installation
and void the warranty.
3.
Contact Lucifer Lighting Company
with any questions or concerns before
beginning any installation.
4.
Ensure a qualified electrician will
perform all electrical procedures.
5.
Disconnect electrical power circuit
before attempting to install the
recessed downlight housing, replace
the lamp or downlight trim assembly, or if adding to or changing
the configuration of the downlight housing or trim assembly.

2. INSTALLATION IN CEILING
Installed housing height and position on hanger bars may be adjusted via 2
scews securing hanger bar brackets to housing tray (fig.4).
3. ACCESSING SPLICE COMPARTMENT AND WIRING
Splice compartment/ driver assembly provides 3 wires for splicing: black, white
and green (fig.7). Use appropriate wire racing and connectors or strain reliefs as
required (see section F-2) through appropriate knock-out in housing tray splice
compartment. When all splices have been made, replace splice compartment
door or cover. See last page of these instructions for specific driver wiring.

Access splice compartment by pulling tab to release door (fig.8). To replace splice
compartment door, apply even pressure to center of door and push squarely onto
splice compartment until it positively engages in closed position (fig.10).
4. HOUSING TRAY ALIGNMENT
Housing trays are provided with marking grid on faceplate to ensure proper alignment of downlight centerlines after installation and to maintain consistent setback and spacing of multiple wallwash downlights (fig.11). Markings may be referenced to ensure housing tray is square or parallel to a wall or reference
point, or in proper alignment with other housings in an array. A laser, chalk
snap-line or string may aid in this process.

Note: To aid in wiring of
power supply, splice
compartment door
with power supply is
sized to pass through
housing tray aperture
upon being inverted.
Fig.11
Final installed housing tray height and position on hanger bars may be adjusted
in ceiling before drywall installation by loosening Phillips screws and adjusting
housing tray body orientation relative to hanger bar mounting bracket (fig.11).

D. TRIM INSTALLATION
5. DRYWALL
Note: Manufacturer recommends
use of hole saw for more accurate
ceiling cut-out (fig.13). Many trims
have minimal ceiling overlay of trim
flange.
Conduit connectors
When using multiple lenses/ effects devices, suggested installation order is to place
spread lens closest to lamp,
prism side away, then diffusion lens, color lens, and louver respectively.

Attach downlight trim conduit connector to housing tray conduit connector (fig.16). Note: connector may look
different than graphic.
With housing tray installed in ceiling and ready to accept drywall, make
proper hole cut-out referencing measurements from adjacent walls to
housing faceplate centerline (fig.14).
Hole cut-out diameter varies by housing
model (see above). Neck of housing
should fit snugly into circular cut-out
and be level with finished ceiling plane.

Trim retention spring design may
vary by model. For all models
depress springs tips or outer
ends towards center of trim and
insert up into neck of housing,
applying even pressure to inside
of faceplate (fig.17).
(See page 6 for housing tray height and
position adjustment if necessary.)

downlight housings are shipped from
the factory ready to accept the Zero-Sightline Appliqué Kit.
The instructions provided in this guide
can have a large effect on the end

Upon installation, the rotatable
housing collar MUST protrude into
the hole cut-out in the drywall.
To ensure proper results, follow the
outlined procedures for installation of
zero-sightline appliqué kits.
Rotate appliqué as necessary so that
one of appliqué edges is aligned with
desired reference line, plane, adjacent
wall, etc.
