other hand, will ensure that the diffuser will hold in place
during the cutting and to have the extrusion including the
diffuser free from scratch after.
If you do not wish to make a customised cut-length or
you have already pre-ordered a customised cut-length
with us, please skip STEP 2 and proceed to STEP 3.
STEP 2: Please use a hacksaw or circular saw for cutting
the extrusion to the required length. It is advisable to use
a saw with more cutting teeth for a better cut. Once the
cutting is done, remove the diffuser and clean the
extrusion inside and out for any debris due to cutting. You
may use a metal file to smoothen out the sharp edges on
the extrusion then prepare the extrusion for LED strip/s
and power supply (driver) installation by cleaning the
surface with isobutanol where the LEDs will be mounted.
Some of our extrusions are able to be installed with the
driver mounted inside*, but for smaller size extrusions,
driver should be installed remotely. To install drivers
internally to the extrusion, please seek advice from
BoscoLighting for recommendations specific to your case.
Incorrect installation of drivers within an extrusion will
limit or negate BoscoLighting’s Warranty Liability.
Please also refer to our “LED Strip Lights Installation
Instruction” manual which you can download from our
website for effective and efficient LED strip light
installation.
*Limited to lower wattage drivers inside larger
fittings. May required extra grounding, we
recommend pre-assembly at an extra fee if you
require integral drivers in extrusion lighting. Not
available for 0-10V or DALI dim drivers due to
size constraints.
STEP 3:
●Surface Mounted Installation:
○For Extrusions supplied with mounting clips:
■Use the mounting clip holes as a pattern to mark
the drill holes and make sure that the drill bit is
slightly narrower in diameter than the metal
screws so the screws would be able to cling into the
surface once installed. Once drilling is done, snap in the
extrusion into the mounting clips. For masonry
installation, please use a concrete anchors for the screws.
○For Extrusions not supplied with mounting clips:
■Many of our smaller extrusion designs are not
supplied with mounting clips, they can generally
be installed with high strength bonding adhesives
or by drilling holes directly into the back of the
extrusion and using flush screws to hold in place.
●Suspended Installation: Install the extrusion
suspension cable into the ceiling first with the
provided metal screws and install the other end into
the extrusion, one at a time. Care must be taken with
installing the screws that they are straight and fully set
in place. Then adjust the length of the suspension
cable as per the preferred height. Make sure that the
