4.1. Tools Required

4.2. Preparation
- Turn off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the recessed light fixture and turn off the power. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
- Remove Existing Bulb and Trim: Carefully remove the existing light bulb and any old trim from the recessed can.
- Examine Existing Can: Determine the power connection type in your existing recessed can. You will either have an E26 socket (standard screw-in bulb base) or a TP24 connector.
4.3. Connecting the Downlight
The Sunco retrofit downlight comes with a pre-attached TP24 connector. An E26 adapter is also included for cans with a standard screw-in socket.
Method 1: Using E26 Adapter (for screw-in sockets)
- Screw the E26 adapter into the existing recessed can socket.
- Connect the TP24 connector from the downlight to the TP24 connector of the E26 adapter by snapping them together.
Video Description: This video demonstrates the installation process for the Sunco 4-inch LED retrofit downlight. It covers how to connect the light using either the E26 adapter for existing screw-in sockets or directly to a TP24 connector in the can housing. The video also shows how to secure the light into the ceiling using the retention clips.
Method 2: Direct TP24 Connection (if existing can has TP24 connector)
- Connect the TP24 connector from the downlight directly to the TP24 connector in the recessed can housing by snapping them together.
4.4. Securing the Downlight
- Carefully tuck all wires into the recessed can housing.
