4.  Ensure that all additional parts and tools are available, including:

with 3.5 in (89 mm) center-to-center screw holes for attaching the fixture’s

Install the Fixtures 

If installing ColorBlast fixtures indoors, you can mount the fixtures directly to a 

wall, ceiling, or other suitable surface. For outdoor installations, and optionally for 

indoor installations, you install ColorBlast fixtures to a junction box. In wet or damp 

locations, you must ensure that all junction boxes are suitable for the environment 

and sealed, if necessary. 

Mounting ColorBlast Directly to a Surface

1.  Determine the fixture mounting locations as specified in the lighting design plan.
2.  Ensure that the fixture sits flush to the mounting surface. 
3.  Using the provided 8-32 screws, attach the fixture to the mounting surface.

 

4.  Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each fixture in the installation.

Mounting ColorBlast to a Junction Box

1.  Mount junction boxes in accordance with the lighting design plan. Each fixture 

is designed for mounting in a 4 in (102 mm) round US electrical junction box, 

rated for your application, with 3.5 in (89 mm) center-to-center screw holes for 

attaching the fixture’s base. 

2.  Screw the included grommet assembly into the fixture’s base. If installing in a wet 

or damp location, seat the O-ring securely against the opening in the fixture base 

to ensure a watertight seal. 

3.  Insert the fixture cable through the grommet’s dome nut, loosening the dome nut 

if necessary, and the fixture’s base. Leave enough cable above the dome nut to 

allow full fixture rotation.

4.  Tighten the dome nut to seal the cable. After 24 hours, tighten the dome nut 

again to ensure a proper seal.
