Hook Attachment Step 1: Disconnecting the electricity
Be careful to switch off the electricity before beginning the installation. Avoid installing while the electricity is still on to avoid getting stunned.
Step 2. Wiring
Connect the light’s wire to ac power. The black wire connects to live wire, the white wire connects to the neutral line, and the green wire connects to ground wire. Make sure to not mix the wires to avoid safety hazard.
Step 3. Screwing in the hook hanger
If the ceiling is ready to mount or if the hook is mounted already, UFO high bay light could be mounted directly through the hook. If not, you should drill a hole to mount the hook.
You could find a hook hanger among the accessories. First attach the hook hanger onto the top of the UFO high bay light, then tighten the screws on the side to secure the hanger.
Step 4. Hanging the UFO high bay light
Use the hook hanger to hang the UFO high bay light onto the mounted hook. Install the hook first if there isn’t one already.
Step 5. Connecting the dimmer
If the UFO high bay light you bought has dimming feature, you can see two extra wires to connect to your dimmer (dimmer not included), so you could adjust the light of the UFO high bay light as needed. The purple wire represents “+” adjustment, the gray wire represents “-“ adjustment. Of course, if you don’t need the dimming feature, you could choose not to use the two wires.
Step 6. Turning on the power
The UFO LED high bay light installs easily. After connecting it to the switch, you could turn the power back on and it will be ready to use.
2. Ceiling Mount
You can also mount the lights onto the ceiling using a U-shaped bracket. Compared to the above mentioned hoop hanger method, you will need to prepare your own U-shaped bracket. Also you can use this type of frame to adjust the angles. We recommend this method of mounting if you are particular about the lighting angle.
Step 1. Cutting the power
Same as before, the first step is to turn off the power. Do not operation when power is turned on.
Step 2. Connecting Wires
Same connection method as above, and connect to the AC power with the live wire, neutral line and ground wire.
Step 3. Mounting the U-shaped bracket
Mount the U-shaped bracket on both sides of the UFO LED high bay light with screws and make sure the light can be hung with the frame.
Step 4. Hanging the U-shaped bracket
Measure the distance between the two holes on the U-shaped bracket, and mark the ceiling. Drill a small hole on the wall using a drill of the same diameter as the plastic expansion tube. Hammer in the expansion tube, tightened the screws through U-shaped bracket and secure the bracket on the ceiling. The UFO LED high bay light will thus be suspended.
Step 5. Connecting the dimmer
Connect the wires on the light to a dimmer if needed.
Step 6. Adjusting the angle and turn on the power
Adjust the angle of the light via the U-shaped bracket, then connect the switch and turn of the power.
3. 1/2’’ NPT Mount
Apart from the methods above, you could also use a 1/2” NPT to mount the UFO LED high bay light. A steel pipe and brackets are used to hang the light, instead of mounting the bracket directly to the ceiling.
This is a easy way to install. First, secure the bracket onto the light, then unscrew the 1/2” NPT nut, connect the steel pipe and the bracket, tighten the 1/2” NPT nut, so that you can hang the steel pipe up. Afterwards you could follow the steps above to connect the light to AC power, and check the lighting result.
All 3 installation methods are applicable to BBIER UFO LED high bay light. You can choose one according to the actual situation.
