✓ Never connect components under load.
✓ Do not mount or support these fixtures in a manner that can cut the outer jacket or damage wire insulation.
✓ Controls for dimming, auto-sensing, or remote control of a luminaire that are not factory-wired to the luminaire must be checked for compatibility with the luminaire prior to installation. LED fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit.
✓ Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not restrict fixture ventilation. Allow for some volume of airspace around fixture. Avoid covering LED fixtures with insulation, foam, or other material that will prevent convection or conduction cooling.
✓ Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not exceed fixtures maximum ambient temperature.
✓ Only use fixture in its intended location.
✓ LED products are Polarity Sensitive. Ensure proper Polarity before installation.
✓ Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): ESD can damage LED fixtures. Personal grounding equipment must be worn during all installation or servicing of the unit.
✓ Do not touch individual electrical components as this can cause ESD, shorten lamp life, or alter performance.
✓ Some components inside the fixture may not be serviceable. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, stop using the unit immediately and contact an ABL representative for assistance.
✓ Always read the fixtures complete installation instructions prior to installation for any additional fixture specific warnings.

| GO TO installation instructions that came with the Vandal Resistant Trim THIS INSTRUCTION SHEET DOES NOT APPLY TO VANDAL RESISTANT FIXTURES | • Structural reinforcement pan (NCH) • IC/Airtight housing construction (ICAT) • Chicago Plenum (CP) GO TO to the installation instructions that came with the box/pan RETURN TO NEXT TO CONTINUE INSTALLATION | GO TO installation instructions that came with the mudring RETURN TO STEP D TO FINISH INSTALLATION |
B) Identification of Luminaire Variants

C) Prepare Ceiling Cutout (Flanged Version)

After cutting hole:
Pull branch circuit (at least 12” flex) from ceiling. supply wire must meet applicable electrical codes and be rated for a minimum of 90⁰C. The driver is capable of dimming the luminaire with commercial grade 0-10V devices or residential line dimmers.
D) Wire Fixture
![]() | ||
| Loosen screw and swing open driver compartment | Twist out one or more knock-outs using a flat bladed screwdriver. Discard the knockout(s). | Attach the branch circuit to the cover plate with a snap in connector. |
![]() | |
| If daisy chaining multiple fixtures, the required conduit fitting is Push-In Duplex (ref. McMaster Carr #7969K31, by others) | Complete necessary splices. Fixture inputs are black, white and green. Dimming inputs are purple (+) and gray (-). If a residential phase-cut dimmer is used, cap off the purple and gray separately. |
E) Install Fixture – Downlight
![]() | ||
| If ceiling is not durable, or thinner than 3/8”, we recommended adding additional material above the ceiling, such as a square of drywall or plywood. | Insert the assembly into the ceiling. Abide by the markings on the luminaire regarding insulation contact. Remove the paint plug – but DON’T throw it away. It will be reinstalled in step 5. | Lower the wing clamps by turning the adjustment screws (7/64 Allen) clockwise until mounting collar is flush with ceiling. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN OR USE A POWER DRIVER |
| Ceiling Thickness Range | ||
| Standard Housing | Hyperbolic Housing | |
| Standard Wing Clamp | 3/8″ to 1-5/8″ | 0″ to 5/8″ |
| Shorter Wing Clamp | 1-5/8″ to 2-3/4″ | 5/8″ to 1-3/4″ |
For installation in thicker ceilings, break away the bottom of the wing clamp at the seam (shown in step 3).
E) Install Fixture – Adjustable

Once the luminaire is flush with the ceiling, push the installed springs outward with flat bladed screwdriver until the snap into place.
Standard springs accommodate ceiling thicknesses from ½” – ¾”

To Adjust ROTATION:
With Allen wrench inserted into screw push or pull in a circular motion to desired position. This luminaire has 365° of azimuthal rotation.

To Adjust TILT:
Insert .050 Allen wrench into screw shown, turning clockwise to increase tilt angle, counter-clockwise to decrease tilt angle. Maximum tilt angle is 40 degrees.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN IN EITHER DIRECTION OR THE SCREW WILL DISLODGE. This will then require that you pull the luminaire back through the ceiling to re-engage the tilt screw in the Gotham bracket prior to tilting again.

Reinstall the paint plug ensuring that it is flush with the fixture collar.
Refer to trim installation instructions for trim install after painting
