-
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, pay close attention to this manual and stay within its guidelines when using this product.
-
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injuries to persons, use only insulated staples or plastic ties to secure cords and only route/secure cords so that they will not be pinched or damaged when the cabinet is pushed to the wall. -
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injuries to persons, do not operate fixtures with missing or damaged lenses or wiring compartment covers. -
WARNING! CAUTION
RISK OF FIRE: Keep fixtures away from curtains and other combustible materials. -
Suitable for indoor dry locations only.

-
This product is suitable for use in dimming circuits only when wired on two separate circuits (light fixture on dimming circuit & receptacles on GFCI circuit). It is compatible with most standard TRIAC, CL, and ELV dimmers (5-100% light control). When wired in combination (light and receptacle on the same circuit), do not connect the fixture to any dimmer.
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
UCR fixtures can be hardwired directly via the rear access door. Fixtures are
not linkable. Determine the installation method and purchase the necessary
accessories separately. To change the color temperature, use the CCT slider
switch near the On/Off switch. The power source must be a 15 amp branch
circuit protected by a GFCI at the panel or GFCI before the connection to the
fixture. Fixtures may be wired in combination (light and receptacle on the
same circuit) or separate (light and receptacle on separate circuits). All
wiring must meet NEC and local codes.
CONNECTING POWER VIA SUPPLY WIRES THROUGH REAR ACCESS DOOR (See Figures
1-5)
The rear access door is located in the center of the back of the fixture
housing. It has its knockout for quick connection to supply wires, foregoing
the need to remove the lens cover/wiring compartment.
- Remove knockout using a hammer or punch, then loosen the screw that secures the rear access door using a Philips head screwdriver or driver bit. Use a screwdriver to fix the light fixture to a suitable position. See Figure 1.
- Install the 3/4” cable connector (included) for the supply wire following the National Electric Code and local codes through this knockout on the access door. See Figure 3. AC power source should be protected by a circuit breaker or fuse.
- Optional (for when the connection is difficult through the rear access door): Carefully pry open the aluminum plate on the back of the fixture using a tool (flathead screwdriver) to connect the wires as shown.
- Strip the back jacket on supply wires to 3/4” and use push-in wire connectors inside the housing to connect the wires, matching polarity (Black to Black = Hot, White to White = Neutral, Yellow/Green to Bare Wire = Ground) through knockout so that push-in connectors are positioned on the housing side of the access door. See Figure 4 for wiring a combined circuit. See Figure 5 for wiring separate circuits.
- Replace the rear access door and tighten the retaining screw. Be sure that the wires are not pinched or damaged by any part of the housing or the cover. See Figure 5.
MOUNTING FIXTURE (See Figures 6)
1. Determine locations for each fixture. Connect supply wires via knockouts
before mounting.
2. Use a Philips head screwdriver or driver bit to tighten captive mounting
screws and secure the fixture to an appropriate mounting surface.
