A: No, this product is not compatible with T-Bar ceilings. It is specifically
designed for hard ceiling installations.
Introduction
- Installation should be completed by an individual familiar with the construction and operation of the luminaire.
- Installation of luminaire must be by nation and local building and electrical codes.
- Carefully read and follow all warnings and instructions before installing or servicing the luminaire.
- Instructions do not cover all details and all possible product configurations
- Do not restrict luminaire ventilation.
- Ensure the LED luminaire is not covered with material that will prevent convection or conduction cooling.
- Do not exceed the luminaire’s maximum ambient temperature.
- Ensure the LED luminaire has the correct polarity before installation.
- Based on maximum voltage restrictions for class 2 circuits in the Canadian Electrical Code, the output cannot be accessible. This product has accessible output terminals. This product complies with this requirement since the installation instruction requires installation in a Restricted Access Area.
Warnings

Hard Ceiling Flange
- Use 1-5/8 Unistrut (not included) or equivalent support beams on all four sides above the opening edge. The support structure should be suitably rigid and secured to support the weight of the luminaire. (Minimum thickness of ceiling and framing is 1 1/2”, maximum is 2 3/4”).
- Only qualified electricians should make the electrical connections and should ensure that all Building and Safety code requirements are observed. CRU & MD1U when supplied with white + red or white + green LEDs, are to be separately switched externally. Also, they are NOT to be operated simultaneously.
