Safety Information

Read all instructions before installation and use.

Turn off power at circuit breaker before installation or maintenance.
Ensure electrical supply matches fixture rating (120V AC).
Use only with compatible mounting systems and dimmers (if dimmable).
Do not install in enclosed fixtures unless rated for such use.
Keep away from flammable materials and heat sources.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local codes.

Installation Instructions

For drop ceiling (2'x2' or 2'x4' grid) installation:

Turn off power at breaker and verify it is off.
Remove ceiling tile from grid where panel will be installed.
Attach mounting brackets to panel (if required) using provided screws.
Connect AC wires: Black (line) to black, White (neutral) to white, Green/Yellow (ground) to green.
Secure panel into ceiling grid; ensure it is level and firmly seated.
Restore power and test operation.

Surface Mount: Use mounting kit to attach directly to ceiling junction box.

CAUTION! Do not overtighten screws. Do not support fixture by its wires.

Dimming: Use listed compatible dimmer. If flickering occurs, adjust trim or replace with recommended dimmer.

Note: Non-dimmable models must not be connected to dimmer circuits.

Mounting Options

Drop Ceiling: Fits standard T-bar grid. Surface Mount: Use included kit to attach to flat surface.

Ensure mounting surface can support fixture weight.
Follow included diagram for bracket placement.
For suspended mounting, use appropriate suspension cables (sold separately).

Tip: Verify grid size before installation (2'x2' or 2'x4').

Dimming Compatibility

If your PANEL model is dimmable, it is compatible with specific dimmer types.

Check packaging or label for dimming type (e.g., TRIAC, 0-10V, ELV).
Use only dimmers listed in compatibility guide (available at feit.com).
If dimming range is limited or flickering occurs, adjust dimmer trim or try a different compatible model.
For multiple panels on one dimmer, ensure total load is within dimmer rating.

WARNING! Using non-compatible dimmers may cause damage, flicker, or reduced lifespan.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Turn off power and allow to cool before cleaning.

Use soft, dry cloth to wipe dust from panel surface.
For stubborn dirt, use mild soap solution on damp cloth; do not spray directly.
Dry thoroughly before restoring power.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

CAUTION! Do not disassemble fixture. No user-serviceable parts inside.
