      2. Peel off the protective film from one side of an adhesive iron plate.
      3. Stick the adhesive side of the plate firmly onto the desired surface.

Operating Instructions

The OTWKAY Under Cabinet Lighting features a multi-function switch and a brightness adjustment button.

Working Modes (Auto/Off/On Switch):

  • AUTO Mode (Motion Sensor): Slide the switch to "AUTO". In this mode, the light will automatically turn on when it detects motion within 120°/10ft in dark environments. It will turn off approximately 20 seconds after no movement is detected. This mode is ideal for energy saving and hands-free operation in areas like hallways, closets, or stairs.
  • OFF Mode: Slide the switch to "OFF" to turn the light off completely.
  • ON Mode (Always-on): Slide the switch to "ON". The light will remain continuously on, providing constant illumination. This mode is suitable for prolonged tasks or areas requiring continuous lighting, such as kitchen counters.
