Install this kit only in luminaires that have the construction features and dimensions shown in the photo graphs and/or drawings and where the input rating of the retrot kit does not exceed the input rating of the luminaire. Only those open holdes indicated in the photographs and/or drawings may be made or altered as a result of kit installation. Do not leave any other open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components.

To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects.

This LED RetroFit Kit and Junction Box Cover shall only be installed into a UL/CUL listed luminaire with a steel enclosure. DO NOT INSTALL THIS RETROFIT KIT INTO LUMINAIRES WITH NON-FERROUS METAL OR POLYMERIC ENCLOSURES

Do not use with dimmers.
