1.		2.		3.
Make sure the recessed light fixture you have will fit inside the beam you are installing.		Mark the location of hole to be cut to accommodate the recessed light on the beam.		Cut the hole into the faux wood beam using a hole saw, jig saw or any other woodworking tool.
4.		5.		6.
				Add the trim ring to the light assembly if necessary.
Install the light into the faux wood beam. (You may need to connect the electrical wires to the light fixture prior to installing the light if the beam is already installed on the ceiling.)		Follow the directions for installing the recessed light fixture that came with the light.
