Setup and Installation
The SOAIY under-cabinet light offers flexible installation options using its integrated magnets.
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the desired installation surface is clean, dry, and smooth.
- Magnetic Attachment (Metal Surfaces): If installing on a metallic surface (e.g., a metal shelf), the light can be directly attached using its built-in magnets.
- Adhesive Metal Plate Attachment (Non-Metal Surfaces):
- Peel off the protective film from one side of the self-adhesive metal plate.
- Firmly press the adhesive side of the metal plate onto the desired non-metallic surface (e.g., wood cabinet, wall).
- Allow the adhesive to set for a few minutes.
- Attach the SOAIY light to the metal plate using its integrated magnets.
- The light can be easily removed for charging and reattached as needed.
Image: Magnetic Installation. This image demonstrates two methods for installing the SOAIY under-cabinet light. Method 1 shows how to attach the light to a non-metal surface using the provided adhesive metal plates. Method 2 illustrates direct attachment to a metal surface using the light's integrated magnets.
Operating Instructions
The SOAIY light features a multi-function button and three operating modes.
Multi-function Button Operations:
- Short Press: Turns the light ON or OFF in ON mode.
- Double Tap: Cycles through the 3 light color temperatures (Cool White, Warm White, Neutral White).
- Long Press: Adjusts brightness continuously (stepless dimming) from 30% to 100%. Release the button to set the desired brightness.
Operating Modes:
Use the slide switch on the side of the light to select the desired mode:
- ON Mode: The light functions as a continuous light. Use the multi-function button to turn it on or off.
- AUTO1 Mode (Motion Sensor - Dark Only): The light will automatically turn on when motion is detected, but only in dark environments. It will turn off automatically after approximately 15 seconds of no motion.
- AUTO2 Mode (Motion Sensor - Day & Night): The light will automatically turn on when motion is detected, regardless of ambient light conditions (day or night). It will turn off automatically after approximately 15 seconds of no motion.
Image: Motion Sensor Operation. This image depicts the SOAIY light's motion sensor in action within a wardrobe. It highlights the 120-degree detection angle and effective detection range of 3-5 meters. The light automatically activates when motion is detected and turns off after 15 seconds of inactivity. This function works in AUTO1 mode (dark only) or AUTO2 mode (day and night).
Image: Color and Brightness Adjustment. This visual guide illustrates how to adjust the light color and brightness. A double-click on the multi-function button cycles through three distinct light colors: warm white, neutral white, and cool white. A long press on the same button enables stepless dimming, allowing users to set the desired brightness level.
Memory Function: The light will remember the last set brightness level and light color when it is switched on again, provided it was not fully discharged.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | Battery is discharged. Incorrect mode selected. | Charge the battery. Ensure the light is in ON mode or a suitable AUTO mode. |
| Motion sensor not working. | Incorrect AUTO mode selected. Ambient light is too bright (for AUTO1). Obstruction in sensor's path. | Switch to AUTO1 (dark only) or AUTO2 (day/night). Ensure environment is dark enough for AUTO1. Clear any obstructions from the sensor. |
| Light turns off too quickly. | No continuous motion detected. | The light is designed to turn off after approx. 15 seconds of inactivity in AUTO modes. This is normal operation. |
| Cannot change light color or brightness. | Incorrect button operation. | Double tap for color change. Long press for brightness adjustment. |
