Color Temperature Selection
The LUXRITE 3 Inch LED Recessed Light features a 5-color selectable switch on the junction box. This switch allows you to choose from five distinct color temperatures to match your preference or room ambiance:
- 2700K: Warm White, ideal for cozy and inviting spaces.
- 3000K: Soft White, a slightly brighter warm tone.
- 3500K: Natural White, a balanced neutral light.
- 4000K: Cool White, a crisp and energetic light.

To change the color temperature, ensure the power is off at the circuit breaker. Access the junction box and slide the switch to your desired setting. Restore power to see the selected color temperature. This setting is typically done once during installation.
