Connect the distribution box to an outlet and plug the light into the distribution box.
If the light is not functioning according to standard quality, contact the shop or warehouse to inquire about a replacement light.

With all fixed shelves (including those with lighting) installed, allow leads to fall to their respective distribution box location.

The leads should travel the shortest distance along the top or bottom fixed shelf to the nearest distribution box.
Refer to local building codes for accessibility requirements when placing distribution boxes and drivers as they should be hidden from eyesight but still accessible.
Depending on the length of space between the light and distributor, extra leads may be required.

Plug the leads into one of the distributor’s slots.

Ensure the connection is functioning by connecting the distributor to the driver and power source.
Ensure you are not overloading the distributor by connecting too many light leads.
Follow the wattage calculations completed by plan review.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all switches.
Complete the set up of the Connect Mesh network, if applicable.
Install all backing panels, and complete the remainder of the installation in accordance with the system’s elevation.
