5. Installation Guide
This section outlines the general steps for installing the ceiling light. Always ensure power is off before beginning installation.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the ceiling surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound to support the fixture's weight.
- Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the light fixture's circuit and turn it OFF. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
- Mount the Bracket: Attach the mounting bracket (if separate) to the ceiling junction box using the provided screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Connect Wiring: Carefully connect the electrical wires from the ceiling to the fixture's wires. Typically, this involves connecting live to live (usually brown/black), neutral to neutral (usually blue/white), and ground to ground (usually green/yellow). Use appropriate wire connectors.
- Secure the Fixture: Align the fixture with the mounting bracket and secure it in place using the provided screws or locking mechanism. Ensure no wires are pinched.
- Restore Power: Once the fixture is securely installed and all connections are made, turn the power back ON at the circuit breaker.

6. Operating Instructions
The Reality Padella LED Ceiling Light is designed for simple operation via a standard wall switch. It also features an integrated dimming function that works with your existing switch.
Basic Operation:
- To turn the light ON/OFF, simply use your standard wall light switch.
Switch Dimming Function:
This fixture allows you to adjust the brightness levels without a dedicated dimmer switch. The light cycles through preset brightness levels by quickly toggling your wall switch OFF and ON.
- 100% Brightness: Turn the light ON (first toggle).
- 50% Brightness: Turn the light OFF, then quickly ON again (second toggle).
- 25% Brightness: Turn the light OFF, then quickly ON again (third toggle).
- The sequence repeats. To return to 100% brightness, turn the light OFF and wait a few seconds before turning it ON again, or cycle through the levels.
