AC mains power 

Warning!

 Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 5 for important safety information that 

you must understand before you install or operate the fixture. 
Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation 

environment and application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to 
the fixture’ on page 10). 
Use H07 RN-F 3 x 2.5mm / SJT 12 AWG cables with original Neutrik powerCON 
TRUE1 connectors to supply power to fixtures. 
Line up the keyways in connectors carefully. Do not try to insert or twist a 
connector if it feels excessively stiff. Resistance to insertion or twisting is a sign 
that connectors may be incorrectly lined up. 
Keep connectors sealed with their rubber caps at all times when not in use. 

Included items 

The MBL20 is supplied with a power cord with Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector. 

Connecting to power 

The AC mains power supply must include a connection to ground / protective earth. It must 
be protected against ground / earth leakage and overload. The fixture’s internal auto-
sensing power supply accepts AC power at 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture 
to power at any other voltage or to an external dimmer. 
The MBL20 does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Power is applied to the fixture as soon as 
the power cable becomes live. 
The MBL20 has a 3-conductor Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 Mains IN power input socket that 
accepts AC power from a TRUE1 female cable connector. Although TRUE1 connectors 

support hot plugging, it is still good practice to shut down power to power cables before 
connecting them to fixtures. 
To connect the fixture to power: 

1.  If convenient, shut down power to the power input cable. 

2.  Note the position of the keys and keyways on the TRUE1 power cable connector and 

Mains IN socket and align them with each other. Insert the cable connector into the 
socket and twist clockwise to lock. Do not use force. If the connector feels excessively 
stiff, remove it and check again that it is lined up correctly. 

3.  Before applying power to the power cable, check that nobody is looking directly into 

the front of the fixture. 

To disconnect the fixture from power, pull the latch on the cable connector outwards to 
release it, then twist the connector counterclockwise and pull to remove it from the socket. 

Installing power connectors 

If you intend to draw power from convenience receptacles / consumer mains power 

sockets, it is possible to install a suitable cord cap / power plug on the supplied power cord 
/ input cable. If you do this, check that the cord cap / plug is rated minimum 250 V, 16 A,
