Safety Information
No specific warnings beyond standard electrical safety precautions. Always ensure power is off before installation or maintenance. The product is UL listed and FCC compliant for safety.
Setup & Installation
The Feit Electric LED Recessed Downlight is designed for straightforward installation into existing 5-6 inch recessed can housings. The unit comes with a standard E26 socket adapter for direct screw-in replacement of traditional bulbs, or it can be hardwired if the adapter is removed. The pre-mounted trim and spring clips simplify the process, ensuring a secure and flush fit.
- Turn Off Power: Before beginning any installation, ensure the power to the light fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker.
- Remove Old Fixture: Carefully remove the existing bulb and trim from the recessed can housing.
- Connect Adapter: If using the E26 socket adapter, screw it into the existing light bulb socket within the recessed can. If hardwiring, disconnect the E26 adapter and connect the fixture's wires to the house wiring using appropriate connectors (e.g., wire nuts).
- Secure Fixture: Gently push the LED downlight into the recessed can. The spring clips on the sides of the fixture will compress and then expand to hold the light securely in place against the ceiling.
- Verify Fit: Ensure the trim is flush with the ceiling for a clean, finished look.
- Restore Power: Once installed, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Feit Electric LED Recessed Downlight, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Light Not Turning On:
- Check the circuit breaker to ensure power is supplied to the fixture.
- Verify that the E26 adapter (if used) is securely screwed into the socket, or that hardwired connections are firm.
- Ensure the wall switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Flickering Light:
- Ensure you are using an LED-compatible dimmer switch. Incompatible dimmers can cause flickering.
- Check for loose wiring connections at the fixture or switch.
- Light Fading/Dimming Prematurely:
- While these LEDs have a long lifespan, extreme heat or improper voltage can reduce it. Ensure the fixture is installed in a suitable environment.
- If multiple lights are fading, it might indicate a broader electrical issue or dimmer incompatibility.
For persistent issues, contact Feit Electric customer support or consult a qualified electrician.
