1. Tools You'll Need

• Ladder (if installing your hexagon light onto a garage ceiling)

• Screws for wall or ceiling mounting

• Measuring tape or ruler

• HexSpace hexagon light kit (includes LED tubes, connectors, Power cable, Screws, Instruction)

• Drill or screwdriver (for ceiling or wall mounting)

• Spirit level for alignment

• Optional: Adhesive clips or zip ties for cable management

• Remove the protective film from each panel before installation to achieve optimal light output

2. Plan Your Layout

Before installation, lay out your hexagon lights on the floor. Assembling and testing the configuration on the floor is important to ensure all components are properly connected and working before mounting. Lay out the Hexagon LED pieces on the floor, starting with one corner to form your first hexagon.

Using a diagram or full diagram allows you to plan your desired pattern and visualize the entire hexagrid pattern before assembly, ensuring a smooth installation process. This helps visualize your design and ensures all led hexagon lights are correctly aligned. Use a layout sketch or visual tool to optimize placement for your garage lighting system.

3. Assemble the Hexagon Light Structure

1. Step 1: Begin at one corner and form the first hexagon by assembling light tubes, connectors, and connector pieces, including two way elbows if needed. Make sure the structure is fully assembled on the floor before mounting. Assemble the entire grid on the floor before mounting it. Continue forming the pattern by assembling the next hexagon and constructing each column in the same column before moving on to the next full column.

2. Step 2: Join columns by connecting them side by side, using connector pieces such as T connectors and Y connectors to connect hexagons and border pieces. Join all columns together horizontally using leftover tubes to complete your diagram. Ensure every light tube is fully inserted into the connector pieces for a stable and secure assembly.

3. Step 3: Assemble the entire border separately using straight and 90 degree connectors, border pieces, and longer light tubes to construct the frame. Use the mounting holes in the connector pieces for secure attachment to the wall or ceiling. When you reach the last corner, use a T connector for the final connection to the power supply.

4. Mounting Your Hexagon Lights

Once you’ve tested the structure and layout of your hexagon lights, it’s time to mount your grid. After constructing, ensure the light is working properly before final installation on the ceiling.

• Wall or Ceiling Mount: Use built-in screw slots on the connectors to affix securely. Using a drill and screws, affix the connectors firmly to the wall or ceiling, ensuring stability for the lights. For screw mounting into drywall, use appropriate wall plugs for secure hold. Make sure the lights are properly mounted to the ceiling or wall to ensure safety and stability.

• Ceiling Suspension Installation: For a sleek, modern look and flexible placement, use our Hexagon Lights Ceiling Suspension Wire Kit. This kit includes durable suspension wires and mounting hardware that allow you to hang your hexagon lights from the ceiling with adjustable height.

  

  Simply attach the suspension cables to the mounting holes on the connector pieces, secure them to the ceiling, and adjust the length to achieve your desired positioning. This method is ideal for spaces with high ceilings or where a floating effect is preferred.

• Use a Spirit Level: Ensure a flat and aligned installation, especially important for hexagon garage lighting. Use a spirit level to ensure the first pieces are straight during mounting of hexagon lights garage.

• Get Assistance: For Medium-Large grid systems, it’s best to have a second person help with alignment and holding panels.

5. Powering Your Hexagon LED Lights

Use the power adapter included with your led hexagon lights. When setting up, connect the power supply and ensure each lighting unit has its own power source for safe and efficient operation. Check the wiring diagram for any red circle points, as each red circle indicates a location that requires a separate power source for the hexagon lights. Plug it into a standard socket or work with a licensed electrician if hardwiring into your garage lights setup. Always follow the instructions and check polarity before turning the system on. For safety and proper functionality, consult a licensed electrician for the final connection to your electrical system.

6. Pro Installation Tips

• Begin from a central point or corner when building your hexagon lights garage system

• Do not overtighten screws or apply pressure to avoid damaging connectors

• Align all segments before screwing to ensure geometric precision

• Hide wires with channels or adhesive clips for a clean led residential garage lights finish. Hide wires with cable management solutions for a clean finish in hexagon light installations. For a clean look, hide any visible wires using wire channels or adhesive clips after installing hexagon lights.

• Remove protective film on each tube, do not assemble forcefully and test before installation!

• Tip: You can skip the border assembly step if your design does not include a border.

• Tip: Double-check that the total number of columns in your layout matches the instruction manual to ensure proper assembly.
