GUIDE FOR SURFACE CEILING/WALL MOUNT
FIXTURE REPLACEMENT
1.
Remove FlatLight Fixture from its packaging. Inspect for defects before installation. Wear latex or similar gloves in order to prevent dirt or oil from being transferred to the fixture.
2. Remove Mounting Plate (A)
from fixture.
3. Disconnect and turn power off
to the circuit at the main fuse
or breaker panel.
4. Remove existing light fixture or cover plate from junction box.
5.
Pull and extract the wires from
the junction box and separate.
Typically Black and Red
(used for dimming) wires will
be “Hot”, White will be Neutral,
and Green/Bare Copper is the
Ground wire.
6.
If necessary, use wire strippers
to create a clean wire connection,
carefully removing the plastic
wire covering from each of the
wires, until ½" of wire is exposed. 7.
Attach the free end of the
provided Two-Wire Connector
(B) to the identically colored
wire from the junction box.
Connect the black wires by
placing them together and
screwing the provided Wire
Nut (C) onto the ends. Repeat
for the white wires. 4

8.
Pre-fit Mounting Plate (A) to
junction box prior to installation.
Place Mounting Plate over
junction box, square it with
adjacent wall, and mark where
the four holes are to be drilled.
Note - For ceiling installation, make sure the Mounting Plate hooks are facing out. For wall installation, the Mounting Plate hooks should be facing up.
NOTE - For optional mounting using the integrated tabs on the back of the fixture, instead of the Mounting Plate, see step 19.
9.
Loosely secure the temporary Mounting Bracket (E) to the junction box with the Junction Box Screws (F), and slide the Mounting Plate (A) between the bracket and the ceiling. Tighten the two screws until the bracket firmly secures the Mounting Plate to the mounting surface.
10.
Attach the Mounting Plate (A)
to the mounting surface using
Drywall Screws (H) or Fasteners
(G), such as Toggle bolts or
Molly bolts, depending on
ceiling or wall material.
Mounting holes are located in
each corner of the Mounting Plate.
11.
If using Toggle Bolts, mark the
hole locations on the mounting
surface. Remove Mounting Plate,
and drill 4 holes with a 5/8” drill
bit, to allow the toggle bolts to
go through the mounting surface.
12. Once the holes are drilled, insert toggle bolts through plate and into holes in mounting surface. Tighten toggle bolts until plate is snug to mounting surface.

13. After Mounting Plate (A) is attached to ceiling or wall with fasteners, remove the temporary Mounting Bracket (E).
14.
Locate the provided Ground Wire
and Green Ground Screw (D).
Secure the Ground Wire to hole
located on the back of the fixture
with the Ground Screw.
15.
Connect the Bare Copper or
Green Grounding wire from the
junction box to the free end of
the Ground Wire by placing
them together and screwing a
Wire Nut (C) onto the end. 16.
Connect the two-wire connector
attached on the fixture to the
previously installed Two-Wire
Connector (B) in step (7).
17.
For Mounting Plate (A) installation,
be sure to remove the temporary
Mounting Bracket (E) before
placing the connected electrical
wires into the junction box. Install
the fixture to the Mounting Plate
by aligning the mounting hooks
to the slots located on the back
of the light fixture. 6

18.
Align the four slots on the back
of the fixture with the four hooks
on the Mounting Plate (A), being
careful not to bend the hooks;
slide to lock.
19.
For installation using the four tabs located on the back of the fixture (Note: Tabs can be bent 180°). Place the connected electrical wires into the junction box and secure the fixture to the mounting surface directly using the Fasteners (G), Drywall Screws (H), or any screws appropriate for the mounting surface. The screws may be painted white with optional appliance paint (not included). 20. Remove protective film from
the face of the fixture.

GUIDE FOR SURFACE MOUNT TO ACOUSTICAL
CEILING TILE GRID INSTALLATION
1.
Remove FlatLight Fixture from its packaging. Inspect for defects before installation. Wear latex or similar gloves in order to prevent dirt or oil from being transferred to the fixture.
2. Remove Mounting Plate (A) from fixture. 3. Disconnect and turn power off to the circuit at the main fuse
or breaker panel.
4.
As required by the NEC and local building code, secure fixture to the concrete/plywood or metal decking above the T-bar grid
utilizing the integrated metal mounting tabs. Locate mounting tabs found on the back of the fixture. Bend tabs into desired position prior to placing fixture in ceiling grid.
5. For a 1x1 Fixture, cut a 5”x8” opening in the center of the ceiling tile and insert fixture into T-bar ceiling grid tile (external box may be required; not supplied).
6.
Unit should be secure and not moving inside the grid. Depending on the number of wires and wire gauge of the building’s system, an additional box may be required. Hand tighten screws (#8 x ½” – not included) onto brackets to secure the fixture or utilize the tabs with safety wire (not included).

7. Remove the wiring compartment
cover located on the back of the
light fixture.
8. Remove the knockout located on
the wiring compartment cover. 9.
Locate the electrical conduit and
separate the wires. Route the
conductors through the knockout
opening and secure the conduit
to the wiring compartment cover.
10. Connect the “Hot” wire from the circuit to the Black wire(s) from the fixture by placing them together and screwing a Wire Nut (C) onto the end.
11.
Connect the “Neutral” wire from
the circuit to the White wire(s)
from the fixture by placing them
together and screwing a Wire
Nut onto the end.
12.

desired location of light for ceiling
box cut out and fastener holes.
NOTE: Skip to step 6,
if junction box already exists.
5.
Cut out opening for ceiling box
and reconfirm cut out and holes
are in line with plate. Fastener
holes should be 5/8” diameter
wide.
6. Place four fasteners into the
Mounting Plate (A) and secure
them into the drywall or
sheetrock.
NOTE: For mounting using the
integrated tabs on the back of
the fixture, instead of the
Mounting Plate, see step 12.
7.
Once Mounting plate (A) is installed securely on the ceiling, connect
wires; Black to Black, White to White and Breen to the Copper (typically Black and Red wires will be “Hot”, White will be Neutral, and Green/Copper is the Ground wire). Wire connectors can be cut off for commercial application.

11.
Locate the hooks on the Mounting Plate (A) that you have attached to the ceiling and the slots on the back of the light fixture. Align the four slots on the fixture to all four hooks of the Mounting Plate (A) and slide to lock without bending the hooks.
12. If installing the FlatLight using the integrated four metal tabs on the back of the fixture, bend the tabs back 180 degrees, and attach the fixture to the mounting surface directly with Fasteners (G),
Drywall Screws (H), or any screws appropriate for the mounting surface.
