Assembly Instructions

1. Preparing for installation

A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or

servicing any part of this fixture.

B. Carefully remove diffuser (3) from separate packaging.
C. Rotate sections of gem bar (6) to form an X. Install #8-

32 x 1” screws (provided) into center threaded holes in
offset section of gem bar as shown. Screw head to face
flat section of bar. Verify screws line up with holes in
canopy (1) and adjust length to allow for decorative nuts
(2).

This fixture is designed for use in a 120VAC, 60Hz fused circuit. Do
not use on a dimming circuit.

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. The green ground
screw location is clearly marked on the fixture housing.

This fixture is intended to be used for general indoor lighting in dry
or damp locations only.

2. Wiring.

All wiring must take place inside junction box.

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 no light output, and shortened lamp life can result if proper grounding is not done. Securely attach green (or
green and yellow) wire to green ground screw on gem bar with provided hardware.

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 lead to make sure connections are secure. Make certain no bare wires are
exposed outside of wire connectors.
