Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure properly “rated” rigging is used when mounting fixtures overhead. Adjust the angle of the fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding the desired position, retighten both knobs. • When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp replacement access (if applicable) and routine maintenance. • Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used. • Never mount in places where the fixture will be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
