5. Operating Instructions
Switching Between Downlight and Night Light Modes:
To switch between the standard downlight mode and the night light mode, use your wall switch:
- Turn the wall switch ON to activate the standard downlight mode.
- Turn the wall switch OFF.
- Within 1-5 seconds, turn the wall switch ON again to activate the night light mode (2000K amber).
- Repeat the ON/OFF/ON sequence to cycle between modes.
Selecting Color Temperature (5CCT):
The 5CCT selection switch is located on the junction box. Before final installation, select your desired color temperature (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K) by sliding the switch to the appropriate setting. This setting applies to the standard downlight mode.
Dimming Function:
The Amico recessed light is 5% to 100% dimmable. To utilize this feature, ensure you have a compatible Triac dimmer switch installed. Adjust the dimmer switch to achieve your desired brightness level.
Synchronization Reset:
If your lights become out of sync (e.g., some are in downlight mode while others are in night light mode), perform the following reset:
- Turn off the light switch for all affected lights.
- Wait for at least 10 seconds.
- Turn the light switch back on. All lights should now be synchronized to the same mode (downlight mode).
