LED IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS! SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND DELIVER TO OWNER AFTER INSTALLATION
- To reduce the risk of death, personal injury or property damage from fire, electric shock, falling parts, cuts/abrasions, and other hazards please read all warnings and instructions included with and on the fixture box and all fixture labels.
- Before installing, servicing, or performing routine maintenance upon this equipment, follow these general precautions.
- Installation and service of luminaires should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
- Maintenance of the luminaires should be performed by person(s) familiar with the luminaires’ construction and operation and any hazards involved. Regular fixture maintenance programs are recommended.
- It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of the refractor/lens. Frequency of cleaning will depend on ambient dirt level and minimum light output which is acceptable to user. Refractor/lens should be washed in a solution of warm water and any mild, non-abrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry. Should optical assembly become dirty on the inside, wipe refractor/lens and clean in above manner, replacing damaged gaskets as necessary.
- DO NOT INSTALL DAMAGED PRODUCT! This luminaire has been properly packed so that no parts should have been damaged during transit. Inspect to confirm. Any part damaged or broken during or after assembly should be replaced.
- Recycle: For information on how to recycle LED electronic products, please visit www.epa.gov.
- These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide every possible contingency to meet in connection with installation, operation, or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s or owner’s purposes, this matter should be referred to Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
✓ Disconnect or turn off power before installation or servicing.
✓ Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing it with the luminaire
label information.
✓ Make all electrical and grounded connections in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local code requirements.
✓ All wiring connections should be capped with UL approved recognized wire
connectors.
WARNING
RISK OF BURN
✓ Allow lamp/fixture to cool before handling. Do not touch enclosure or light
source.
✓ Do not exceed maximum wattage marked on luminaire label.
✓ Follow all manufacturer’s warnings, recommendations and restrictions for:
driver type, burning position, mounting locations/methods, replacement and
recycling.
CAUTION
RISK OF INJURY
✓ Wear gloves and safety glasses at all times when removing luminaire from
carton, installing, servicing or performing maintenance.
✓ Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on.
CAUTION
RISK OF FIRE
✓ Keep combustible and other materials that can burn, away from lamp/lens.
✓ Do not operate in close proximity to persons, combustible materials or
substances affected by heat or drying.
CAUTION: RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE
✓ Never connect components under load.
✓ Do not mount or support these fixtures in a manner that can cut the outer
jacket or damage wire insulation.
✓ Controls for dimming, auto-sensing, or remote control of a luminaire that
are not factory-wired to the luminaire must be checked for compatibility with
the luminaire prior to installation. LED fixtures must be powered directly off
a switched circuit.
✓ Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not restrict
fixture ventilation. Allow for some volume of airspace around fixture. Avoid
covering LED fixtures with insulation, foam, or other material that will
prevent convection or conduction cooling.
✓ Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not exceed
fixtures maximum ambient temperature.
✓ Only use fixture in its intended location.
✓ LED products are Polarity Sensitive. Ensure proper Polarity before
installation.
✓ Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): ESD can damage LED fixtures. Personal
grounding equipment must be worn during all installation or servicing of the
unit.
✓ Do not touch individual electrical components as this can cause ESD, shorten
lamp life, or alter performance.
✓ Some components inside the fixture may not be serviceable. In the unlikely
event your unit may require service, stop using the unit immediately and
contact an ABL representative for assistance.
✓ Always read the fixtures complete installation instructions prior to
installation for any additional fixture specific warnings.
✓ Always ensure that the electrical distribution system is up to NEC (and any
applicable local code) requirements.
✓ Verify that power distribution system has proper grounding. Lack of proper
earth ground can lead to fixture failure and may void warranty.
Choose either Part 15 OR Part 18 and move to Page 3 Installation Instructions
under Delivery. Lithonia Outdoor will always use Part 15.

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules but may cause interference
with cordless and cell phones, radios, televisions, and other electronic
devices. To correct the problem, move the device away from the luminaire or

A) Identify Options
GO TO installation instructions that came with
the Vandal Resistant Trim
THIS INSTRUCTION SHEET DOES NOT
APPLY TO VANDAL RESISTANT FIXTURES| • Structural reinforcement pan (NCH)
• IC/Airtight housing construction (ICAT)
• Chicago Plenum (CP)
GO TO to the installation instructions that came with the box/pan
RETURN TO NEXT TO CONTINUE INSTALLATION| GO TO installation instructions that
came with the mudring
RETURN TO STEP D TO FINISH INSTALLATION
B) Identification of Luminaire Variants
C) Prepare Ceiling Cutout (Flanged Version)
After cutting hole:
Pull branch circuit (at least 12” flex) from ceiling. supply wire must meet
applicable electrical codes and be rated for a minimum of 90⁰C. The driver is
capable of dimming the luminaire with commercial grade 0-10V devices or
residential line dimmers.
D) Wire Fixture
Loosen screw and swing open driver compartment| Twist out one or more knock-
outs using a
flat bladed screwdriver. Discard the knockout(s).| Attach the branch circuit
to the cover plate
with a snap in connector.
If daisy chaining multiple fixtures, the required conduit fitting is Push-In Duplex (ref. McMaster Carr #7969K31, by others)| Complete necessary splices. Fixture inputs are black, white and green. Dimming inputs are purple (+) and gray (-). If a residential phase-cut dimmer is used, cap off the purple and gray separately.
E) Install Fixture – Downlight
If ceiling is not durable, or thinner than
3/8”, we recommended adding additional
material above the ceiling, such as a
square of drywall or plywood.| Insert the assembly into the ceiling. Abide
by the markings on the luminaire regarding
insulation contact. Remove the paint plug
– but DON’T throw it away. It will be
reinstalled in step 5.| Lower the wing clamps by turning the
adjustment screws (7/64 Allen) clockwise
until mounting collar is flush with ceiling.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN OR USE A POWER DRIVER
| Ceiling Thickness Range
---|---
Standard Housing| Hyperbolic Housing
Standard Wing
Clamp| 3/8″ to 1-5/8″| 0″ to 5/8″
Shorter Wing
Clamp| 1-5/8″ to 2-3/4″| 5/8″ to 1-3/4″
For installation in thicker ceilings, break away the bottom of the wing clamp at the seam (shown in step 3).
E) Install Fixture – Adjustable
Once the luminaire is flush with the ceiling, push the installed springs
outward with flat bladed screwdriver until the snap into place.
Standard springs accommodate ceiling thicknesses from ½” – ¾”
To Adjust ROTATION:
With Allen wrench inserted into screw push or pull in a circular motion to
desired position. This luminaire has 365° of azimuthal rotation.
To Adjust TILT:
Insert .050 Allen wrench into screw shown, turning clockwise to increase tilt
angle, counter-clockwise to decrease tilt angle. Maximum tilt angle is 40
degrees.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN IN EITHER DIRECTION OR THE SCREW WILL DISLODGE. This will
then require that you pull the luminaire back through the ceiling to re-engage
the tilt screw in the Gotham bracket prior to tilting again.
Reinstall the paint plug ensuring that it is flush with the fixture collar.
Refer to trim installation instructions for trim install after painting
