1. Product Overview
The SYLVANIA Recessed Downlight Retrofit Kit features a ridged baffle reflector designed to provide homogeneous light reproduction. This technology reduces brightness for a more eye-friendly illumination without compromising lumen output, resulting in softer light. This kit is engineered to enhance the overall lighting in your space.
- WHITE BAFFLE REFLECTOR: Works by reducing the brightness to make the light more eye-friendly without losing the light output.
- DIMMABLE: The downlight kit is dimmable down to 10% of full light output and is compatible with recognized dimmer brands in the market.
- VERY LOW PROFILE: The slim design supports installation in areas with very short height between the ceiling and roof.
- INDOOR and OUTDOOR SUITABILITY: Suitable for dry, damp, or wet locations. An airtight ring is included, integrated with the internal part of the trim.
- SAFETY & CERTIFIED: Meets Safety standards for UL nationwide, California Compliant T20 (tier 2 lamp), and T24 Certified Energy Star.

Follow these steps for safe and proper installation:
- Safety First: Before beginning installation, ensure the power to the existing recessed lighting fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker.

- Install E26 Adapter: Screw the provided E26 socket adapter into the existing E26 base within the recessed housing.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the wires from the downlight kit to the E26 adapter's wires. Ensure a secure connection.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your downlight, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power to the fixture; loose wiring connection; faulty switch. | Check circuit breaker. Ensure all wiring connections are secure. Test the switch. |
| Light flickers or dims inconsistently. | Incompatible dimmer switch; loose wiring; power fluctuations. | Ensure dimmer is LED compatible. Check wiring connections. Consult an electrician for power issues. |
| Light is not as bright as expected. | Dimmer setting too low; incorrect light color temperature expectation. | Adjust dimmer to maximum brightness. Confirm the 4000K Cool White color temperature meets your needs. |
