Mount the lights to your wall

There are different ways to connect the lights: using velcro, zip ties, mounting brackets, and much more. Below we have listed two possible options to mount them to your wall.

1. Take a strip of double velcro tape ( e.g. 3M 1” x 3” 2X Dual Lock). Stick one part of the tape to the top of the box and the other to the Skublox light.
   Note: Velcro can be attached to the upper rear of the light, above the ethernet ports.
2. Press the Skublox light to the top of the box and stick the two parts of the velcro together.
3. Your Skublox light is now securely mounted to the top of the box.

1. Take the mounting bracket and the screws (DIN 968 – 2002 Cross Recessed Pan Head Tapping Screws With Collar – ST 2.9 mm. x 13 mm). Align the bracket and draw the holes with a pencil if needed, drill holes and add the fixings.
2. Fasten the screws through the bracket.
3. Attach the Skublox light.
4. You can adjust the light position.
