IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read completely before beginning. If you feel you do not have adequate electrical wiring experience, have this installed by
a qualied licensed electrican.
All electrical connections must be in accordance with local codes, ordinances and the National Electric Code. This product
operates on 120V AC; always conrm the maximum wattage of the linear xture does not exceed the maximum wattage of
the circuit it is connected to. If you are unfamiliar with methods of installing electrical wiring, secure the services of a qualied
licensed electrician.

MLX xture requires two MLX-MC for installation.
Recommended distance between each MLX-MC is
determined by MLX xture length as noted.

the depth is at least 1/4” past the length of the plastic
anchor. Insert plastic anchor in drilled hole. Screw selftapping screw and MLX-MC into the plastic anchor.
Repeat the process for second MLX-MC, then snap in
