With the Z-bar flush against the ceiling joist, screw the two wood screws through holes provided on each Z-bar.

Rope Lighting
Dome requires approximately 19’ of U.L. approved rope lighting. Lighting is not provided by Focal Point. The rope lighting can be overlapped or doubled up for increased illumination dependent upon manufactures specifications. Clear rope will give a candle light colored glow to the dome. For best effect use a rheostat on the wall switch.
