Features

1.Housing: Drawn, 0.036" (20 Ga.) steel. Matte black finish. Tight rigidly built housing minimizes air leakage to less than 2 CFM at 1.57 PSF (or 75pa), which complies with Model Energy Code and Washington State Energy Code and reduces heat loss and condensation in ceiling.

2.Mounting Frame: Die-formed, 0.036" (20 Ga.) steel, matte black finish. 1/2" deep integral lip. Four slots are positioned 90° apart to simplify alignment.

3.Trim Kit Horizontal Adjustment Mechanism: Die-formed steel ring, matte black finish. Provides 362° horizontal stop, lockable with Philips screwdriver.

4.Thick Ceiling Vertical Adjustment Mechanism: Adjustable trim kit vertically to accommodate up to 2" thick ceiling, tool less and lockable.

5.Mounting Bars: Galvanized steel, 0.059" (#16 ga.). Bars pivot for easy attachment and wire-in below ceiling line. Pre-installed telescoping bars extend to accommodate 16" to 24" O.C. joist spacing. Bars can accommodate 12" O.C. joist spacing after a slight field modification. Integral nails for secure attachment to wood; attach to T-bar ceilings with out the need of accessories.

6.Lampholder: Procelain bi-pin socket. Pre-wired with No.18 AWG Teflon leads.

Outside J‑Box door is hinged for maximum opening.

8.Thermal Protector: Meets NEC and UL requirements. Insulation must be kept 3" away from any parts of the luminaire and must not be placed above luminaire in a manner which will entrap heat.

9.Trim Kit: Order Separately. See individual trim kit specification sheets for information.

Electrical:

Transformer: Replaceable from below; Transformer door rotates into fixture, positioning transformer directly over aperture to allow one-handed removal

Magnetic: 120V/277V 60 Hz. dual-voltage, core & coil. (Note: Magnetic not

recommended for residential or noise sensitive areas.) Electronic: 120V or 277V 50/60 Hz., regulated lamp volage, HPF, EMI and circuit protections, ther- mal auto-reset, quiet operation.

Dimming Controls: Use only dimmers specifically designed for use with magnetic or electronic transformers. Consult Lightolier Control for informa- tion. Low voltage luminaires may produce audible sound when used with dim- mers, which may be objectionable in acoustically critical areas.
