MAY VOID THE UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES LISTING AND COULD CONSTITUTE A FIRE HAZARD.

PREPARATION: Cut appropriately sized hole in Ceiling Tile (by others) at

the position desired and place Ceiling Tile in Grid (by others) (F igure A).
Loosen Wing Nuts on Frame Clamps enough to allow free movement of
Mounting Bars (Figure B).

* Lightolier offers a hole cutter (HC-356) that can be purchased separately
to assist with quick, clean trim installations. In this case, follow the hole
cutting directions supplied with HC-356.

POSITION LUMINAIRE FRAME: Place Luminaire Frame on top of Ceiling Tile and center the frame aperture on the Ceiling Tile
hole cut in Step 1 so that the aperture wall extends into the Ceiling Tile. Orient the Luminaire Frame to align with the grid (Figure
C). Grasp the T-Bar Clips on each end, one in each hand, lift the clips to the top of the adjustment slots in the End bracket, extend
the End brackets to contact the Ceiling Grid, and drop each T-Bar Clip over the Grid (Figure D).

NOTE: When the Luminaire Frame is to be used with Wall Wash Trims make sure to orient the Luminaire Frame side indicated by
a label on the frame towards the wall to be illuminated.

CLAMP TO GRID and LOCK LUMINAIRE FRAME: Making certain that the Luminaire Frame is still centered on the Ceiling Tile,
tighten the T-Bar Clip Wing Nuts to attach the frame to the Ceiling Grid (Figure E). Retighten the Wing Nuts on the Frame Lock
Clamps after the frame is positioned satisfactorily and is locked to the Ceiling Grid.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOOD FRAME CEILING APPLICATIONS

PREPARATION: Remove Wing Nuts on T-Bar Clips and remove clips from Luminaire Frame. Loosen Wing Nuts on

1

Frame Clamps enough to allow free movement of Mounting Bars (Figure A). The Mounting Bars may be readily
adjusted to fit openings between 13” (330mm) minimum and 24” (610mm) maximum.

POSITION AND INSTALL LUMINAIRE FRAME: Position Luminaire Frame between joists with the End bracket at

2

one end placed against, and flush to the bottom of, the joist (Figure B). When positioned, hammer the integral nailing
tabs at both ends of the End bracket into the joist (Figure C). Extend the End bracket at the opposite end of the
Luminaire Frame until it contacts the opposite joist. Align and attach. The frame can be fully secured by driving a nail
or screw through any of the holes provided at each end of the End bracket. Slide the Luminaire Frame along the
Mounting Bars until the aperture is in the desired position and lock the Frame in place by tightening the Wing Nuts on
the Frame Clamps.

NOTE: When the Luminaire Frame is to be used with Wall Wash Trims make sure to orient the Luminaire Frame side
indicated by a label on the frame towards the wall to be illuminated.

INSTALLATION OPTION FOR REGIONS USING STRAPPING: The Luminaire Frame may be installed directly to
strapping as above by screwing the End Bracket to the strapping using the hole provided. The Nailing Tab is not used

*

in this case.
Optionally, the Luminaire Frame may be attached to the joists between strapping, and positi oned 5/8” lower to

account for the strapping thickness, by bending the provided End bracket tabs 90˚ as shown (Figure D) with a pair of
pliers. These bent tabs may now be used to position the Luminaire Frame vertically with reference to the joists so that
the frame is flush to the strapping. Attach the Luminaire Frame to the joists as described above (Figure E).
