Connect the building's supply wires (typically black for live, white for neutral, and green/bare copper for ground) to the corresponding wires inside the junction box using appropriate wire connectors. Ensure all connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
  3. Select Color Temperature: Before closing the junction box, use the CCT selection switch located inside the junction box to choose your desired color temperature (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K).
  4. Position Junction Box: Place the junction box into the ceiling beam or through the cutout hole into the ceiling cavity.
  5. Connect Downlight: Connect the downlight's cable to the junction box's cable using the provided quick connector. Ensure a firm connection.
  6. Install Downlight: Gently push the spring clips on the sides of the downlight upwards. Insert the downlight into the cutout hole. The spring clips will automatically secure the fixture against the ceiling. Ensure the foam gasket creates a tight seal.
