Install the Fixtures
If installing ColorBlast fixtures indoors, you can mount the fixtures directly to a
wall, ceiling, or other suitable surface. For outdoor installations, and optionally for
indoor installations, you install ColorBlast fixtures to a junction box. In wet or damp
locations, you must ensure that all junction boxes are suitable for the environment
and sealed, if necessary.
Mounting ColorBlast Directly to a Surface
1. Determine the fixture mounting locations as specified in the lighting design plan.
2. Ensure that the fixture sits flush to the mounting surface.
3. Using the provided 8-32 screws, attach the fixture to the mounting surface.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each fixture in the installation.
Mounting ColorBlast to a Junction Box
1. Mount junction boxes in accordance with the lighting design plan. Each fixture
is designed for mounting in a 4 in (102 mm) round US electrical junction box,
rated for your application, with 3.5 in (89 mm) center-to-center screw holes for
attaching the fixture's base.
2. Screw the included grommet assembly into the fixture's base. If installing in a wet
or damp location, seat the O-ring securely against the opening in the fixture base
to ensure a watertight seal.
3. Insert the fixture cable through the grommet's dome nut, loosening the dome nut
if necessary, and the fixture's base. Leave enough cable above the dome nut to
allow full fixture rotation.
4. Tighten the dome nut to seal the cable. After 24 hours, tighten the dome nut
again to ensure a proper seal.
