Important Safety Information

Please read and understand all instructions before beginning installation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, or other injuries that could be hazardous or even fatal. Keep this manual for future reference.

  • Always turn off the main power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing or performing any maintenance on the fixture.
  • Ensure all electrical connections comply with local codes and ordinances, as well as the National Electric Code (NEC).
  • If you are unsure about proper electrical wiring, consult a qualified electrician.
  • This product is rated for damp locations, making it suitable for use in bathrooms, covered patios, or laundry rooms. Do not use in locations where it will be directly exposed to water.
  • Do not attempt to alter or modify the fixture in any way.

Setup and Installation

Before You Begin

  • Ensure the power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker.
  • Gather necessary tools: measuring tape, pencil, drywall saw, wire strippers, screwdriver.

Installation Steps

  1. Prepare the Ceiling: Locate the desired installation spot. Using the provided template or the fixture itself, mark and cut a 6.25-inch (15.8 cm) diameter hole in the ceiling. Ensure there are no obstructions like joists or wiring within the ceiling space.
  2. Connect Wiring: Open the integrated J-Box cover. Connect the house wiring to the fixture's wiring: black to black (live), white to white (neutral), and green/bare copper to green (ground). Secure connections with wire nuts. Close the J-Box cover.
  3. Select Color Temperature (Pre-Installation): Before inserting the fixture into the ceiling, use the small toggle switch located on the side of the fixture to select your desired color temperature (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K). This setting can be changed later using a wall switch, but initial selection is done on the fixture.
  4. Insert Fixture: Gently push the fixture into the cut-out hole. The spring-loaded clips will automatically secure the fixture to the ceiling. The fixture is designed to fit 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch ceiling spaces.
  5. Restore Power: Turn the main power back on at the circuit breaker.

Operating Instructions

5CCT Selectable White

Your Feit Electric downlight offers five color temperature options to suit your preference and environment. You can select the desired color temperature in two ways:

  • On the Fixture: Before installation, use the small toggle switch on the side of the fixture to select one of the five color temperatures: 2700K Soft White, 3000K Warm White, 3500K Neutral White, 4000K Cool White, or 5000K Daylight.
  • Using a Standard Wall Switch: After installation, if the fixture is set to the 'Switch' position on the toggle, you can cycle through the five color temperatures by quickly toggling your standard wall light switch OFF and ON. The fixture will remember the last selected setting when turned off for more than 10 seconds.

Night Light Mode

The downlight features a dedicated 2200K warm amber night light mode, perfect for low-light ambiance or navigation during nighttime. To activate the night light mode:

  • Ensure the fixture is set to the 'Switch' position on the toggle.
  • Quickly toggle your standard wall light switch OFF and ON twice. The light will switch from the main lighting mode to the 2200K night light mode.
  • To return to the main lighting mode, toggle the switch OFF and ON once.
