6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Color Temperature (CCT) Selection
The desired color temperature (2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, or 6000K) is selected via a switch located inside the junction box. This selection should be made prior to final installation of the junction box into the ceiling. Once set, the light will operate at the chosen CCT for its main illumination.

6.2. Night Light Feature
To activate the 2700K night light mode, simply flip your standard wall light switch OFF and then ON again within a short interval (typically 1-2 seconds). The light will switch from its main illumination to the soft 2700K night light. To return to the main illumination, repeat the OFF/ON sequence.

Below, a sequence of wall switch positions (On, Off, On) illustrates how to activate the nightlight.
6.3. Dimming Functionality
Both the main downlight and the night light feature are dimmable from 10% to 100% when connected to a compatible dimmer switch. Ensure your dimmer switch is rated for LED lighting to prevent flickering or damage.

8. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your recessed light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply; Loose wiring; Faulty fixture. | Check circuit breaker. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Test with a known working fixture if possible. |
| Light flickers or buzzes. | Incompatible dimmer switch; Loose wiring. | Ensure dimmer is LED compatible. Check wiring connections. |
| Night light does not activate consistently. | Incorrect switch timing; Multiple lights on one switch. | Ensure a quick OFF/ON sequence. If multiple lights are on one switch, some may require a longer OFF period (5-10 seconds) to reset before attempting the sequence. |
| Light is too hot. | Normal operation (some heat is expected); Improper installation. | While some heat is normal, ensure proper air circulation around the fixture. Verify IC-rating compliance. If excessively hot, discontinue use and contact support. |
