INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOOD FRAME CEILING APPLICATIONS
1
PREPARATION: Remove Wing Nuts on T-Bar Clips and remove clips from Luminaire Frame. Loosen Wing Nuts on
Frame Clamps enough to allow free movement of Mounting Bars (Figure A).
NOTE: The Mounting Bars may be readily adjusted to fit openings between 13” (330mm) minimum and 24” (610mm)
maximum. With modification the Frame may be installed in openings as small as 10-1/2” (267mm). See Below.

POSITION AND INSTALL LUMINAIRE FRAME: Position Luminaire Frame between joists with the End bracket at
one end placed against, and flush to the bottom of, the joist (Figure B). When positioned, hammer the integral nailing
tabs at both ends of the End bracket into the joist (Figure C). Extend the End bracket at the opposite end of the
Luminaire Frame until it contacts the opposite joist. Align and attach. The frame can be fully secured by driving a nail
or screw through any of the holes provided at each end of the End bracket. Slide the Luminaire Frame along the
Mounting Bars until the aperture is in the desired position and lock the Frame in place by tightening the Wing Nuts on
the Frame Clamps.
NOTE: When the Luminaire Frame is to be used with Wall Wash Trims make sure to orient the Luminaire
Frame side indicated by a label on the frame towards the wall to be illuminated.

INSTALLATION OPTION FOR REGIONS USING STRAPPING: The Luminaire Frame may be installed directly to
strapping as above by screwing the end bracket to the strapping using the hole provided. Nailing Tabs are not used.
The upper end bracket tabs (Figure D) may be bent 90
˚ to support the luminaire frame on top of strapping.
Optionally, the Luminaire Frame may be attached to the joists between strapping, and positioned 5/8” lower to
account for the strapping thickness, by bending the lower end bracket tabs 90˚ as shown (Figure D) with a pair of
pliers. These bent tabs may now be used to position the Luminaire Frame vertically with reference to the joists so
that the frame is flush to the strapping. Attach the Luminaire Frame to the joists as described above (Figure E).

INSTALLATION IN SPACES BETWEEN 10-1/2” (267mm) AND 13” (330mm): The Mounting Bars are provided with
bar lock tabs (Figure D) that keep the bars from coming apart during normal installation. Insert a flat bladed screw
driver into the slot in these tabs and bend the tabs until flush with the mounting bar. Slide one half of the mounting
system out of the Frame and discard. The remaining bars may be bent to fit the smaller space (Figure F). Guide
holes are provided on the mounting bars to aid in bending the bars to the minimum size of 10-1/2” (267mm) for 12”
(305mm) O.C. Joists. Drive a nail or screw through any of the remaining holes in each bar to secure.
