Page 11: Mounting Points
Design Spot LED™ Mounting points Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
Page 12: Securing
Securing the DESIGN SPOT LED™ Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your DESIGN SPOT LED,™ always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable. The fixture provides a built-in rigging point for a safety cable on the hanging bracket as illustrated above.
