Models ending in SCTD power source 120V (Self Ballasted
dimmable CFL) Usable on a dimming circuit with dimmable lamps

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to assure proper operation,
this fixture must be adequately grounded. To accomplish proper
grounding there must be a separate ground wire (green) or bare metal
contact (metal conduit) between this fixture and the ground
connection of your main power supply panel.

This fixture is intended for use as general lighting in dry or damp
locations.

A. Disassemble entire center section; stems (8, 10), threaded nipples (6), swivel (5) and hanger assembly (9).
B. Take the fixture power wires (black an d white) and feed them through the nipples (6) and stems (8, 10). Thread

the stem/nipple onto the fitting on top of the socket plate (12) until secure.

C. Please loctite all stems with supplied loctite to prevent stems

from coming undone.

D. Insert the wires through a ¾” nipple at the top of the

socket/ballast plate and through the 16” stem (10). Slide wires
through 1¾” threaded nipple inside the hanger assembly (9)
and thread nipple ¼” into stems.

NOTE: Two 6” and two 12” stems included for desired height
between hanger assembly and canopy.

E. Insert wire through stem (8) and secure stem to ¾” nipple (6).

Slide wires through top swivel (5), canopy (4) and canopy
nut. Loctite and tighten all stems and nipples.

NOTE: It will be easiest to slide the wire through each
stem if the threaded nipples at the top of each item are
removed.

F. (See Detail A) Remove the screw

(21) from the decorative arm (11).

DETAIL A

Insert the arm through the opening
with the square hanger on the inside
of the diffuser (15). Reattach the
screw through the decorative cap (20)
and arm and repeat until all 4 arms
have been completed.

3. Fixture mounting.

A. Insert 1 ½” screws (3) through offset cross bar (2) and secure

to junction box in ceiling (not provided). Be sure that the two
screws (1) mounted to the bracket line up with the holes in the

*MV model shown with 4-pin CFL’s

canopy (4), and point towards the floor. Slide supply wires

through the center hole of the mounting bracket. (See Detail B) Once the fixture has been mounted, attach the
hangers to the hooks on the hanger assembly.

B. (See Detail C) Place nipple (16) into open hickey (17) and thread on hexnut (19). Thread top of nipple (16) into

hickey (18) and tighten. Adjust height of bowl by adjusting hexnut (19) height on nipple (16) to proper height to
avoid sagging of the diffuser. Push up on bottom of diffuser to desired tension and adjust with hexnut.

4. Wiring.
Caution: Make sure power is off at fuse or circuit breaker box. Check power wires for damage or scrapes. If power

supply wires are within three inches of ballast, use wire suitable for at least 90C (194F). Note: Most dwellings built
before 1985 have supply wire rated to 60C. Consult a qualified electrician before installing.

A. This unit will not operate properly unless connected to a “grounded” electrical circuit. Electrical shock, over

heating, low or now light output, and shortened lamp life can result if proper grounding is not done. Securely
attach green (or green and yellow) wire to provided green ground screw.

B. Using wire connectors provided, connect white supply wire to white ballast lead. Connect black hot supply wire

to black ballast lead. Do not mix wires. Pull on each wire to make sure connections are secure. Make certain no
bare wires are exposed outside of wire connectors.

C. Line up the two holes in the canopy (4) with the two screws (1) in the mounting bracket (2). Secure fixture to

screws with the two thumb nuts (7) provided.

5. Lamp Installation (Lamps included on models ending with “SCTD”).

A. For model ending in MV, use only 18 watt fluorescent, quad 4-pin lamps (10). To install, line lamp pins with the

corresponding holes in the lamp socket (13) and push lamp into place until a click is heard. Repeat for each lamp.

B. For models ending in SCTD (See Detail D) usable on dimming circuit with dimmable GU24 base lamps, use

only GU24 base lamps only (26W max.). To install, line up lamp pins with the corresponding holes in lamp
socket and turn clockwise until a click is heard. Repeat for each lamp.
