- Connect Wiring: Open the junction box cover. Connect the supply wires to the wires inside the junction box using the provided wire nuts:
- Connect the black wire from the supply to the black wire of the J-Box.
- Connect the white wire from the supply to the white wire of the J-Box.
- Connect the ground wire from the supply to the green wire of the J-Box.
- Select Color Temperature (CCT): Before inserting the light into the ceiling, locate the CCT selection switch on the side of the junction box. Choose your desired color temperature (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K) by sliding the switch.
- Insert Junction Box: Place the wired junction box into the ceiling opening.
- Install Downlight: Connect the downlight to the junction box via the male/female connector. Push the spring clips on the sides of the downlight upwards and insert the fixture into the ceiling hole. The clips will automatically secure the light in place.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
