Step-by-Step Installation:

- Wire the junction box: Open the remote driver/junction box. Connect the building's electrical supply wires (hot, neutral, ground) to the corresponding wires inside the junction box using appropriate wire connectors. Secure the junction box to a ceiling joist or other structural element if required by local codes, or simply place it through the ceiling hole.
- Select Color Temperature (CCT): Before inserting the light fixture, locate the CCT selection switch on the remote driver/junction box. Choose your desired color temperature (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K, or 6500K).
- Connect fixture to driver: Plug the connector from the downlight fixture into the corresponding receptacle on the remote driver/junction box.
- Insert fixture: Gently push the spring clips on the sides of the downlight fixture upwards and insert the fixture into the ceiling hole. The spring clips will secure the fixture in place.
- Restore power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
