7. Operating Instructions
- Power On: Restore power at the circuit breaker. The flood light will illuminate.
- Selecting Color Temperature (CCT):
- Locate the CCT slider switch on the fixture.
- Slide the switch to select your desired color temperature: 3000K (Warm White), 4000K (Cool White), or 5000K (Daylight).
- Note: When switching CCT, you may observe different sets of LEDs illuminating. For example, 3000K uses a yellowish set, 5000K a bluish set, and 4000K uses both sets for a balanced white. This is normal operation.
- Dimming (0-10V):
- If connected to a compatible 0-10V dimmer, use the dimmer control to adjust the light output from 10% to 100% brightness.

8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture's lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. Address any issues promptly.
- Heat Dissipation: Ensure the fixture's heat sink fins are clear of obstructions to maintain optimal heat dissipation.
9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply, loose wiring, faulty fixture. | Check circuit breaker. Verify all wiring connections are secure. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Light flickers or dims unexpectedly. | Incompatible dimmer, loose dimming wires, unstable power. | Ensure dimmer is 0-10V compatible. Check purple and gray wire connections. Verify stable power supply. |
| Not all LEDs are illuminated (e.g., at 3000K or 5000K). | Normal operation for CCT selection. | This is expected behavior. The fixture uses different LED banks for specific color temperatures. 4000K typically illuminates all LEDs. |
| Water inside fixture. | Improper installation, damaged seal. | Ensure all seals are properly seated and mounting is secure. If damage is present, contact customer support. |
