6. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for safe and proper installation:
- Prepare the Opening: Use the provided template to cut an appropriate sized hole in the ceiling. The recommended template size for installation is 6-1/8" (156 mm).
- Wiring Connections: Secure the safety latch onto a structural part of the original fixture housing above the ceiling. Connect the wires using the included wire nuts: Black to Black (Live), White to White (Neutral), and Green to Green (Ground). Ensure all connections are secure.
- Adjust Settings (Pre-Installation): Before inserting the fixture into the mounting surface opening, choose your desired power (wattage) and color temperature (CCT) using the simple switches located on the fixture. Refer to Section 7 for details on these adjustments.
- Mount the Fixture: Fold up the two spring mounting tabs. Carefully insert the fixture into the prepared hole. As the fixture is placed into the mounting surface, the spring-loaded clips will engage, ensuring a snug fit.
- Secure the Fixture: Ensure that the spring mounting tabs have securely mounted the fixture so that the front trim is flush against the mounting surface. The safety cable further secures the fixture and eliminates the possibility of an incident during installation.

- Cleaning: Ensure the power is off before cleaning. Wipe the fixture with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish or electrical components.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician or contact customer support.
- No User-Serviceable Parts: The LED light source is integrated and not user-replaceable. Do not attempt to open or repair the fixture.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LED Downlight, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on | No power supply Loose wiring connection Faulty switch or circuit breaker | Check circuit breaker and wall switch. Verify all wire connections are secure (ensure power is off first). Test the circuit with another device. |
| Light flickers or dims unexpectedly | Incompatible dimmer switch Loose wiring Voltage fluctuations | Ensure you are using a 0-10V dimmable driver and compatible dimmer. Standard dimmers are not compatible. Check all wiring connections. Consult an electrician to check voltage stability. |
| Incorrect color temperature or brightness | CCT/Wattage switch set incorrectly | Turn off power, remove fixture, and adjust the CCT/Wattage switches to desired settings. Reinstall. |
| Light turns on slowly | Normal operation for some LED drivers | A slight delay (approx. 1 second) after flipping the switch is normal for some LED fixtures. If the delay is excessive, check power supply. |
