5. Installation Guide

Pre-Installation Checklist:

• Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker.
• Confirm the ceiling material is suitable for recessed lighting.
• Use the provided template to mark the cut hole.

Installation Steps:

1. Cut a 6-1/4 inch hole: Use the provided 1:1 hole template to accurately cut a 6-1/4 inch diameter hole in the ceiling.
2. Open the Junction Box and Make Connections: Open the remote junction box. Feed the supply wires into the knockout hole. Connect the house wiring (Live, Neutral, Ground) to the corresponding wires in the junction box using appropriate wire connectors. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Select Color Temperature: Before inserting the junction box into the ceiling, locate the CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) toggle switch inside the junction box. Select your desired color temperature (3000K, 4000K, or 5000K). This setting cannot be changed after the junction box is installed without removing it.
4. Insert the Junction Box: Carefully insert the remote junction box through the cut hole into the ceiling. The compact design allows it to fit into tight spaces.
5. Connect Light Fixture: Connect the cable from the recessed light fixture to the junction box. Ensure the connection is firm.
6. Install the Light Fixture: Hold the spring clips on the sides of the recessed light fixture against the fixture body. Gently guide the fixture into the ceiling hole until the clips snap into place, securing the light flush with the ceiling.

6. Operating Instructions

Color Temperature Selection:

The Cloudy Bay recessed light offers three selectable color temperatures: 3000K (Warm White), 4000K (Cool White), and 5000K (Daylight). The desired color temperature must be selected using the CCT toggle switch located inside the remote junction box before installation. Once installed, the setting is fixed unless the junction box is accessed again.
