PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO INSTALLING THIS LUMINAIRE
WARNING: These luminaires are to be installed in surface-mounted, non-concealed locations only. They may
not be recessed into the building structure. No part of the luminaire may be concealed behind drywall, permanent
ceiling, or any other similar structure.
This luminaire must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor, and must be installed in accordance with all
applicable local, and national electric codes.
This flexible cold cathode fluorescent luminaire has been designed to allow a single flexible luminaire to be utilized
with a variety of cold cathode lamp shapes and sizes. The modular connection method used to electrically wire
one luminaire to the next allows for rapid installation. Each luminaire is composed of three anodized aluminum
enclosures, permanently connected by two lengths of flexible electrical cord. The middle enclosure contains the
ballast. The two end-enclosures each contain a lampholder into which lamp ends are inserted and electrically
connected. A jumper cable to interconnect luminaires is provided with each luminaire. Utilizing electrical quick
connects and snap-in strain reliefs, the jumper cable is connected to an adjacent luminaire to the branch circuit.
Integral mounting brackets are incorporated into each of the aluminum enclosures, allowing the electrician to
mount the luminiares with the lamps in place.
