Setup and Installation
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Mark and cut a 2.5-inch diameter hole in the ceiling drywall at the desired location. Ensure there are no obstructions like joists or pipes.
- Connect Wiring to J-Box: Open the junction box. Connect the household electrical wires (live, neutral, ground) to the corresponding wires in the J-box using appropriate connectors. Ensure secure connections.
- Select Color Temperature (CCT): Locate the CCT selection switch on the J-box. Choose your desired color temperature (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K) by sliding the switch. This setting can only be changed before the J-box is installed in the ceiling.
- Insert J-Box: Place the connected J-box into the ceiling beam or cavity through the cut hole. Ensure it is securely positioned and will not interfere with the downlight.
- Connect Downlight to J-Box: Connect the wire from the downlight fixture to the corresponding connector on the J-box. Ensure a firm connection.
- Install Downlight: Gently push the downlight fixture into the 2.5-inch ceiling hole. The spring clips on the sides of the fixture will secure it in place against the drywall. Ensure the foam gasket is properly seated for an airtight application.
- Restore Power: Once the fixture is securely installed, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
