5. Operating Instructions

The Globe Electric DuoBright Recessed Light utilizes patented technology that allows you to adjust the color temperature of the light using a standard dimmer switch (sold separately). This feature enables you to customize the ambiance of your space to suit various activities and times of day.

5.1 Color Temperature Adjustment

The DuoBright technology transitions through different color temperatures as you dim the light:

• Focus (100% Brightness, 5000K - 4000K): A bright, cool white light ideal for tasks requiring high visibility, such as reading, working, or applying makeup. This simulates natural daylight to reduce eye strain.
• Comfort (100% - 90% Brightness, 4000K - 3000K): A soft, warm light that creates an inviting and comfortable atmosphere for everyday use.
• Relax (90% - 5% Brightness, 3000K - 2000K): As you dim further, the light transitions to a very warm, soothing sunset glow, perfect for relaxation, watching movies, or preparing for sleep.
