5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for safe and correct installation of your LED module.
5.1 Pre-Installation
- Turn off power: Ensure power to the installation area is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Inspect components: Unpack the LED module and driver. Check for any damage.
- Prepare opening: Ensure the ceiling opening is appropriate for a 3-inch recessed fixture.
5.2 Wiring Instructions
The LED module is hardwired and compatible with 120-277V systems. Refer to the wiring diagram on the LED driver for specific connections.
- Connect the black wire from the LED driver to the hot (L) wire from the power supply.
- Connect the white wire from the LED driver to the neutral (N) wire from the power supply.
- Connect the green or bare copper wire from the LED driver to the ground wire from the power supply.
- For 0-10V dimming, connect the purple (+) and gray (-) wires from the LED driver to the corresponding dimmer control wires. If not using 0-10V dimming, cap these wires individually.
- Connect the output wires from the LED driver to the LED module. Ensure polarity is correct (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- Secure all connections with appropriate wire connectors.
5.3 Mounting the LED Module

- Once wiring is complete and secured, carefully place the LED driver into the junction box or ceiling cavity.
- Insert the LED module into the 3-inch recessed housing (sold separately). Ensure the module is seated firmly and flush with the ceiling surface.
- If using swappable trims (sold separately), attach the desired trim according to its specific instructions.
5.4 Swappable Trims and Lenses
The G-96023 module supports swappable trims and lenses (sold separately) to customize appearance and light distribution. Refer to the instructions provided with your specific trim or lens for attachment and removal procedures.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Adjusting Color Temperature (5CCT)
The Goodlite G-96023 module features 5CCT adjustable technology, allowing you to select from five color temperatures: 2700K (Warm White), 3000K (Soft White), 3500K (Neutral White), 4100K (Cool White), and 5000K (Daylight). The CCT selection switch is typically located on the LED driver or the module itself.
- Ensure power is supplied to the fixture.
- Locate the CCT selection switch. This is often a small toggle switch.
- Move the switch to the desired color temperature setting. The light will change immediately.
- Test each setting to find the preferred ambiance for your space.
Note: It is recommended to select the desired CCT before final installation if the switch is difficult to access once installed.
6.2 Dimming Functionality
This LED module is compatible with both Triac (forward-phase) and 0-10V dimming systems. Use a compatible dimmer switch for optimal performance.
- Triac Dimming: Connect the module to a standard Triac dimmer switch. Ensure the dimmer is rated for LED loads.
- 0-10V Dimming: Connect the purple and gray wires from the LED driver to a compatible 0-10V dimmer control.
- Adjust the dimmer switch to achieve the desired light intensity.
Note: Using an incompatible dimmer may result in flickering, reduced dimming range, or damage to the LED module.
7. Maintenance
The Goodlite LED module requires minimal maintenance due to its long operational life.
- Cleaning: Ensure power is off before cleaning. Wipe the fixture with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- LED Longevity: The integrated LED is designed for long-term use and is not user-replaceable.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any loose connections or visible damage. If any issues are found, consult a qualified electrician.
8. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your LED module, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply; Loose wiring; Faulty switch/dimmer; Incorrect CCT setting. | Check circuit breaker/fuse. Verify all wire connections are secure. Test switch/dimmer. Ensure CCT switch is set to a valid position. |
| Light flickers or dims improperly. | Incompatible dimmer; Loose wiring; Overloaded circuit. | Ensure dimmer is compatible with LED (Triac or 0-10V). Check wiring connections. Reduce load on circuit if overloaded. |
| Incorrect color temperature. | CCT switch set incorrectly. | Adjust the CCT selection switch to the desired setting. |
| Light output is lower than expected. | Dimmer setting too low; Incorrect voltage. | Adjust dimmer to maximum brightness. Verify supply voltage is within 120-277V range. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Goodlite customer support or a qualified electrician.
