Assembly Instructions
1. Preparing for installation
A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part of this
fixture.
B. Carefully remove diffuser (1) from separate packaging.
C. Secure the gem bar (8) to junction box (not supplied) with appropriate
screws (not supplied). Wall plate will not cover 4x4 box; use plaster ring
or 2x4 handy box. Install the 1 ¼” stem (6) into the gem bar (8). Use the
lock nut (7) to secure threaded rod at the proper length.
2. Wiring.
All wiring must take place inside junction box.
Caution: Make sure power is off at fuse or circuit breaker box. Check power wires
for damage or scrapes. If power supply wires are within three inches of ballast use
wire suitable for at least 90C (194F). Note: Most dwellings built before 1985 have
supply wire rated to 60C. Consult a qualified electrician before installing.
A. This unit will not operate properly unless connected to a “grounded”
electrical circuit. Electrical shock, over heating, low or no light output, and
shortened lamp life can result if proper grounding is not done. Securely
attach green (or green and yellow) wire to green ground screw on gem bar
with provided hardware.
B. Using wire connectors (provided), connect white supply wire to white
ballast lead. Connect black hot supply wire to black ballast lead. Do not
mix wires. Pull on each wire lead to make sure connections are secure.
Make certain no bare wires are exposed outside of wire connectors.

A. Mount canopy over 1 ¼” stem (6) and secured in place with knob (5). (Note: Adjust length of threaded rod to create a secure
fit.)
