Now add the lights to your setup. We suggest sticking the light RC module to the corner piece where you are running your wires into the enclosure as shown in the image below. Most RC modules come with adhesive on the back allowing you to attach it to the corner piece easily. Alternatively, if you remove the ceiling frequently for cleaning, consider attaching the RC module directly to the ceiling so that you can easily unplug the lights when removing the ceiling.

After running the cord into the enclosure, stick the lights into the center of the groove of the prints.

Finally, add the Grates to the prints. The grates are relatively thin and will flex some, so gently bend the grates inward in order to place them into the channel.

Enjoy your new lighting!
