Operating Instructions
The Metalux SLSTP features external switches for easy adjustment of lumen output and color temperature (CCT).
Adjusting Lumen Output:
Locate the "Power" switch on the housing. This switch allows you to select between Low (2500 lumens), Middle (4000 lumens), and High (6500 lumens) settings.
To change the lumen output, simply slide the switch to your desired setting (Low, Middle, or High). The fixture will adjust its brightness accordingly.
Adjusting Color Temperature (CCT):
Locate the "CCT" switch on the housing. This switch allows you to select between 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K.
To change the color temperature, slide the switch to your preferred setting (3500K, 4000K, or 5000K). The light color will change to match your selection.
0-10V Dimming:
This fixture is compatible with commercial 0-10V dimmers. Connect the dimming wires to a compatible 0-10V dimmer switch according to the dimmer's instructions and local electrical codes. This allows for continuous dimming of the light output.
Maintenance
The Metalux SLSTP LED Striplight requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and inspection will ensure optimal performance and longevity.
