CAUTION: Typical suspended ceilings are not intended to support weight. A suspended
ceiling system will typically require modification in order to support the weight of a light
fixture in excess of 2 pounds. If you do not have construction skills, we strongly
recommend that you have a licensed contractor make the modifications required.
CAUTION: The installation of the "Safety Line" between the light fixture and the true
ceiling is required.
THE KIT INCLUDES:
1. Telescoping Support
2. X-Clamp with star washer and nut
3. 2 T-BAR Hooks
4. Steel safety wire with Latch
Suspended ceiling metal frames are constructed of long
un-broken runs of framing called main runners and
short pieces called connectors fitting between long
runs to form the grid. It is best to suspend a light fixture
from the long main runners of framing and not the short
connectors. If the best location for the light is on a short
connector than you will need to add a support wire
physically attached to the true ceiling at the location of
the light.
STEP 1 - Locate the power outlet that the light will be
connected to and measure the distance along the ceiling
to the wall over the outlet and add the height from the
ceiling to the outlet. This will determine the length of
power cord plus extension cord required. When
installing multiple lights it may be desirable to connect
the power cords to a single extension cord with a socket
cluster as shown here.
STEP 2 - Locate the position(s) where the light(s) will be
installed and mark the metal frame with a pencil. Then
remove the tiles on both sides of the light location.
STEP 3 – Inspect the installation of the support wires
attached to the framing and if there is a support wire
within 12" of the light location mark than the addition of a
support wire is not required.
If the closest support wire is more that 12" from the light
location, than it is strongly recommended to add a new
support wire directly over the light location as shown
here. Replicate the method of connection of the support
wire to the ceiling framing or concrete. Replace the
ceiling tiles.
