Installation
The Lumitec Mirage LED Down Light features a flush mount design with a shallow mounting depth, making installation straightforward. For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the official Installation Manual (PDF) provided by Lumitec.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Choose a flat, stable surface for mounting. Ensure there is sufficient clearance behind the surface for the light fixture and wiring.
- Cut Mounting Hole: Using a suitable hole saw, cut a circular opening in the mounting surface. Refer to the product specifications or the PDF manual for the exact diameter required (typically around 3.25 inches / 8.25 cm).
- Wiring: Connect the light fixture's wires to your 10-30V DC power supply. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative). Use appropriate marine-grade connectors for a secure and waterproof connection.
- Secure Fixture: Insert the light fixture into the prepared hole. The spring-loaded clips on the side of the fixture will secure it firmly in place against the mounting surface.
- Test Functionality: Restore power and test the light to ensure proper operation.

Operating Instructions
The Lumitec Mirage LED Down Light is designed for simple operation. Depending on your specific model and wiring, the light can be controlled via a standard on/off switch.
- Basic On/Off: Toggle your connected power switch to turn the light on or off.
- Color Cycling (Multi-Color/Spectrum Models): For models with multiple color outputs (White, Red, Blue, Purple, or Spectrum RGBW), rapid toggling of the power switch (within 1-2 seconds) will cycle through the available colors. Pause on the desired color.
- Dimming (Dimming Models): For dimming models, holding the power switch in the "on" position for a few seconds may activate dimming functionality. Release the switch at the desired brightness level. Refer to the specific wiring diagram for your dimming system.
