Grid Ceiling Install (FG,TG)

Ensure grid spacing is accurate

  • BHL 2’ intended for 0’-6” X 2’-0” O.C. grid

  • BHL 4’ intended for 0’-6” X 4’-0” O.C. grid

  • Tilt and push the BHL luminaire through the intended spacing from the bottom. Angle the luminaire to clear the insulation detectors, if applicable. The luminaire ceiling flange should then overlap the room facing grid piece.

AcuityBrands-040-254560-BHL-TUWH-Tunabl-White-FIG-4

  • For IP66 required applications** Sealant or gasket must be field applied between overlap flange and grid rail to ensure room seal. Acuity Brands is not responsible for materials or installation that would ensure IP66 room rating. Illustrated above is (FG) flat tee grid install. All step apply to (FG) and (TG). See step 6 for (TG) trim illustration.
  • Locate the (4) grid support and alignment brackets. For your application select which tab height that will work best. Bend the tab 90 degrees to hold the fixture in place.AcuityBrands-040-254560-BHL-TUWH-Tunabl-White-FIG-5
  • Support luminaire using hole in grid bracket and tie luminaire to structure. Luminaire must be supported by more than grid rails
  • Locate and remove access plate to wire fixture. See control wiring section for application specific instructions.
  • Example of (TG) tegular tile install. All pervious steps are applicable to TG installation as well.

Mud in Hard Ceiling Install (GB)
