SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD

SURFACE PREPARATION

Temperature and environmental concerns:

• Ideal application environment is 70-100ºF in 50% humidity or less.
• Minimum application temperature: 50ºF
• This temperature and humidity should be maintained for 72 hours after application for maximum bond strength.

a. Using a 50/50 alcohol mix, thoroughly clean the backside of the Fixture and the surface area where Fixture will be installed.
Allow 5 minutes to dry.
b. Peel back 0.5″ of the VHB tape’s protective film on one end and use firm pressure to adhere it to the desired surface, avoiding air bubbles. Continue peeling the film and adhering the tape in small sections until the entire length is installed.

For porous materials (Wood, Brick, Concrete etc.) apply two layers of paint or primer to the surface. This will help create a better bonding surface for these materials. These can be purchased from a local hardware store.

SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: VHB ADHESIVE MOUNT
BEFORE installation, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned and dried for maximum bond strength. (page 5)

Determine the LALO-FLAT-ID fixture(s) location and positioning on desired surface before adhering Fixture to surface.
Make any necessary reference markings to indicate fixture placement.

a. To adhere the VHB adhesive, peel the white film back while evenly applying the tape to the mounting side of the fixture. The red side should be visible.
b. Remove the red film and position fixture in place according to your previous reference marking(s).

Remove protective film from the surface of the fixture’s lens.

NOTES: EPOXY ALTERNATIVE: For improved bonding strength, apply a small amount of epoxy at each end. Refer to table on for suggested page 5

SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: SILICONE

• 2 clips provided for 4’ or less; 4 clips provided for greater than 4’

Determine the LALO-FLAT-ID fixture(s) location and positioning on desired surface; evenly distribute clips. Make any necessary reference markings to indicate where each clip is to
be secured in place. Recommended every 24” – 30”.

a. Firmly press the silicone-coated clips on the marked reference points.
b. Wait for silicone adhesive to cure completely before snapping fixture into place.
c. Snap fixture onto clips.
NOTE: Cure time is dependent on the type of silicone adhesive used.
Refer to silicone product manufacturer for accurate drying time.

Remove protective film from the surface of the fixture’s lens.

SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: SCREW MOUNT

• 2 clips provided for 4’ or less; 4 clips provided for greater than 4’ SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: SCREW MOUNT
• 2 clips provided for 4’ or less; 4 clips provided for greater than 4’
  Determine the LALO-FLAT-ID fixture(s) location and positioning on desired surface; evenly distribute clips. Make any necessary reference markings to indicate where each clip is to be secured in place. Recommended every 24” – 30”.

a. Secure clips using the #4 flat head hardware provided.
b. Ensure the screw head is flush with the clip’s base.
c. Snap fixture onto clips.
NOTE: Flat head screw type is dependent on surface/application material.
Alternative flat head screws may be required. Refer to the surface material manufacturer for suggested screw type.

Remove protective film from the surface of the fixture’s lens.

SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: MAGNET MOUNT

• One magnet clip per foot SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: MAGNET MOUNT
• MMA-01 comes in 12” pieces; use at least one clip per MMA-01 accessory
• MMA-01 can be cut into smaller pieces, if desired

Determine the LALO-FLAT-ID fixture(s) location and positioning on desired surface. Make any necessary reference markings to indicate where the magnet mount accessory bracket is to be secured in place.

a. Mount the two #6 flat head screws into the 12” magnet mount accessory bracket through the slotted holes at each end. Ensure the screw head is flush with the magnet mount bracket.
b. Snap the magnet clips onto the backside of the fixture.
They should be offset to the accessory bracket screws to maximize magnetic connection.
c. Place the assembled fixture into the magnet mount bracket.
NOTE: If surface application requires a longer screw, the screw size must be a #6 Flat Head.

Remove protective film from the surface of the fixture’s lens.

SURFACE MOUNTING METHOD: LOW PROFILE MAGNET MOUNT

• One magnet clip per foot
• MMA-04 comes in 12” pieces; use at least one clip per MMA-04 accessory
• MMA-04 can be cut into smaller pieces, if desired

Determine the LALO-FLAT-ID fixture(s) location and positioning on desired surface. Make any necessary reference markings to indicate where the magnet mount accessory bracket is to be secured in place.

a. Mount the two #6 flat head screws into the magnet mount accessory bracket through the slotted holes at each end. Ensure the screw head is flush with the magnet mount bracket.
b. Snap the magnet clips onto the backside of the fixture.
They should be offset to the accessory bracket screws to maximize magnetic connection.
i. If the clip does not fit securely onto the extrusion, apply the provided foam onto the inner face of the magnet clip.
c. Place the assembled fixture into the magnet mount bracket.
NOTE: If surface application requires a longer screw, the screw size must be a #6 Flat Head.

Remove protective film from the surface of the fixture’s lens.
