  • Easy Installation: Features built-in strong magnets for direct attachment to iron surfaces, or use the included adhesive metal plates for other surfaces. Easily removable for charging.

Setup and Installation

  1. Charging the Lights:

    Before first use, fully charge all lighting units. Connect the provided USB-C cable to the charging port on the light and to a USB power source. The indicator light will turn green when fully charged.

  2. Choosing an Installation Location:

    These lights are suitable for various indoor locations such as kitchens, closets, pantries, basements, stairs, and hallways. Consider areas where motion-activated lighting or adjustable illumination would be beneficial.

    This image illustrates the versatility of the AMETHEUS lights, showcasing their use in a kitchen under cabinets, inside a closet, within a pantry, and along a staircase. It demonstrates how the lights can enhance visibility and ambiance in different home environments.

  3. Mounting the Lights:

    The lights can be installed in two ways:

    • Direct Magnetic Attachment: If your desired surface is iron-based (e.g., a metal shelf), the built-in magnets allow for direct attachment.
    • Adhesive Metal Plates: For non-magnetic surfaces (wood, glass, ceramic tile), use the included adhesive metal plates.
      1. Clean the installation surface thoroughly to ensure it is free of dust and grease.
      2. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive side of the metal plates.
      3. Attach the metal plates to the desired location. Press firmly for 30 seconds.
      4. Align the light unit with the installed metal plates and allow the magnets to secure it in place.

    This visual guide illustrates the simple installation process. It shows how the light can be directly attached to metal surfaces using its internal magnets, or how adhesive metal plates can be applied to other surfaces (like wood or tile) to create a magnetic mounting point. The lights can then be easily attached and removed from these plates for charging or repositioning.

Operating Instructions

This image provides a detailed view of the control panel on the AMETHEUS under cabinet light. It clearly labels Button 1 for ON/AUTO Mode/OFF selection and Button 2 for cycling through 3 Color Temperatures and long-pressing for dimming. The PIR Motion Sensor is also visible.

  1. Power On/Off and Mode Selection (Button 1):

    Locate Button 1 on the light unit. This button controls the power and operating modes:

    • Single Press: Cycles through ON, AUTO Mode, and OFF.
    • ON Mode: The light remains continuously on.
    • AUTO Mode: The light will flash twice as a prompt. In a dark environment (below 20 lux), the light will automatically turn on when motion is detected within 10 ft/120° and turn off after 20 seconds of no motion. This mode is energy efficient and ideal for areas like closets or hallways at night.
    • OFF Mode: The light is turned off.
  2. Adjusting Color Temperature and Brightness (Button 2):

    Locate Button 2 on the light unit. This button controls the light's appearance:

    • Single Press: Cycles through the three available color temperatures:
      • Warm White (3000K)
      • Natural Light (4500K)
      • Cool White (6500K)
    • Long Press: Activates stepless dimming. Hold the button to gradually adjust the brightness from 10% to 100%. Release the button when the desired brightness is reached. The light has a memory function and will recall the last brightness setting.
