5. Operating Instructions

The AFX T5L 2 LED Undercabinet Light features an integrated LED light source with adjustable color temperature (CCT) and dimmable functionality.

1. Power On/Off: Restore power at the circuit breaker. The light can be controlled via a wall switch connected to the circuit or an integrated switch on the fixture (if present).
2. Adjusting Color Temperature (CCT):

   This fixture allows you to select between three color temperatures: 3000K (Warm White), 4000K (Cool White), and 5000K (Daylight). A switch located on the fixture allows for this adjustment.

   To change the CCT, locate the switch on the fixture and slide it to your desired setting (3000K, 4000K, or 5000K). It is recommended to make this adjustment before final installation or when the fixture is easily accessible.

3. Dimming Functionality: The fixture is dimmable. To utilize this feature, ensure you have a compatible dimmer switch installed on the circuit controlling the light. Refer to your dimmer switch's instructions for proper operation.
