Tips for Installing LED Lights

(these instructions can be modified for Insulated Roof Panels)

1. Pick Your Location – Stop roof pan installation at the LED Light location. Drill the 4” to 6″ hole in the pan as required by your size of light.

2. Wiring –  Drill a hole that fits your conduit in the hanger at the house. Pull wire through the hanger, leave 12” hanging out the LED Light hole for wiring the light later. Leave enough wire at the house to reach your service connection.  We usually use outdoor rolmex or direct burial wire.
*** as with all electrical work, we recommend you consult a licensed electrician.

Be careful to protect the wiring and do not touch the wiring with any screws. Your wiring should also be protected where it goes through the holes, we use rubber grommets to cover any sharp edges in the aluminum.

3. Install Fan Beam Cap (non-insulated only) – Install the next roof pan. Place fan beam cap over the pan that contains the  wiring, slide the fan beam cap under the flashing at the house. Screw the cap down to pans at the interlock. This will keep all water out of the roof pan that contains the wiring

4. Attaching the Light – Be careful not to damage the wires inside the roof. Consult the instructions that come with your light to complete the installation.
