3. Installation Instructions
Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply to the fixture location is turned off at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.
- Prepare the Fixture: Before installing, select your desired color temperature (CCT) using the switch located on the back of the fixture. Options include 2700K (Soft White), 3000K (Warm White), 4000K (Cool White), 5000K (Daylight), and 6000K (Daylight Deluxe).
- Connect Wiring: The fixture supports two connection methods:
- Method 1 (E26 Base): Screw the E26 connector into the existing recessed can's socket.
- Method 2 (TP24 Connector): If your existing setup uses a TP24 connector, directly connect the fixture's wires to the TP24 connector.
- Secure the Fixture: Gently push the LED fixture upwards into the recessed can. The pre-attached spring clips will automatically engage and secure the light firmly in place.
- Restore Power: Once the fixture is securely installed, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
