Product Information
The product is a lighting fixture with the model number IB518031ENA. It is designed for installation in various construction settings, including new construction, suspended ceilings, strapped ceilings, and air-tight constructions. The fixture is compatible with different types of lamps and LED modules. The user manual provides important warnings regarding the risk of electric shock and fire. It advises users to disconnect power at the fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing the fixture. If users are not qualified, it is recommended to consult an electrician.
Installation in New Construction:
- If the fixture is to be switched from a wall switch or dimmer, ensure that the black supply wire is properly connected to the switch or dimmer, following their respective instructions. Do not connect the white supply wire to the switch.
Installation in Suspended Ceilings:
- Locate the center of the proposed opening on the ceiling tile and cut out an appropriate size hole. For E7 & E27, the hole should be 6-3/8 inches (16.2 cm) in diameter, while for E5, it should be 5-5/8 inches (14.3 cm) in diameter.
- Place the ceiling tile in the T-bar grid.
- Snap the fixture onto the T-bars and secure it with a screw (not included).

Installation in New Construction
Note: If fixture is to be switched from wall switch or dimmer, make sure black supply wire is properly connected to the switch or dimmer (follow switch/dimmer instructions). DO NOT connect the white supply wire to the switch.
-
Fixture is designed for installation where it may come in contact with insulation (Figure 1)*.
-
Bar hangers for this fixture are of interlocking design to allow positioning of housing along entire length of bars. Position bar hangers as shown (Figure 2).
-
Bar Hangers may be shortened to fit tighter framing by breaking at the break points. Pass bar hangers through each end until the bars overlap, then break off at score lines (no tools required and bar hangers do not need to be removed from plaster frame) (Figure 3).
-
Hanger bars may be disassembled by depressing tab and sliding apart (Figure 4). Return to original position prior to reassembly.
- Junction box can be reposition (Figure 2) if factory installation position is not sufficient. Locate fixture between joists (Figure 1)
- Extend bar hangers to fit between joists. Position fixture using mini foot flange on bar hangers to bottom of joists, then hammer nails into joists. Bar hangers should be level with bottom of joists (Figure 2)
- Follow steps 1 through 4 under “Electrical Connection”. (see next page)
- Adjust position of fixture on bar hangers as needed. To secure fixture in position, tighten screw and/or bend prongs on plaster frame over bar hangers (Figure 2).
- Adjust fixture for ceiling thickness by loosening the hex screws that attach the housing to the plaster frame. Bring bottom edge of housing flush with ceiling line (Figure 5).
Installation in Suspended Ceilings
-
Locate center of proposed opening on ceiling tile and cut out appropriate size hole: E7 & E27 = 6-3/8”(16.2 cm); E5 = 5-5/8”(14.3 cm)
-
Place ceiling tile in T-bar grid.
-
Snap fixture on T-bars. Secure with screw (not included as shown (Figure 6).
-
Follow Steps 1 through 4 under “Electrical Connection”. (see next page)
-
Center fixture over opening. To secure fixture position in ceiling, tighten screws and to lock fixture in place
Installation on Strapped Ceiling
- Use levelling flange to position housing on bottom of strapping (strapping must be 12”(30.5 cm) to 24”(61 cm) apart).
- Use slot or hole in levelling flange to secure the bar hanger bracket to the strapping with nails or screw (not included).
Installation for Air-Tite Construction
E7, E27 and E5 Air-Tite™ housings with ASTME283 certification pre-installed gasket sealing the aperture, frame and ceiling: no need for additional caulk. When properly installed, Air-Tite™ housings provide compliance with restricted airflow regulations.
Electrical Connection
-
Make certain no bare wires are exposed outside the connectors.
-
For housings with push-nut connectors:
- Strip insulation on supply wires 1/2”(1.3 cm)
- Use 12-16 AWG stranded (stranded pattern 19 or less) or use 12-18 AWG solid copper wire.
-
Provide electrical service according to the “National Electrical Code” or your local electrical code from a suitable junction box to the wiring box (located on the plaster frame). Supply wire insulation must be rated for at least 90°C.
-
Remove the fixture wiring box cover.
