Specifications

Controls and Settings

Operation is typically simple with an on/off function.

Primary Control: Physical switch on the fixture, wall switch, or remote control (if included).

Features: Fixed brightness is standard. Some models may include dimming capability via a compatible wall dimmer (check specifications - not all LEDs are dimmable).

Note: This fixture is designed for indoor use only. Do not use with external dimmers unless specified as compatible.

Connecting to Power

Power is supplied via a plug-in adapter or direct wiring (model dependent).

  1. For plug-in models: Ensure the outlet is easily accessible and not overloaded.
  2. For hardwired models: Connection must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local codes.
  3. Route the power cable neatly to avoid tripping hazards or pinching.

Tip: Use a surge protector for added safety if plugging into a wall outlet.

Operation

Daily use is straightforward.

  1. To turn ON: Press the switch or use the remote control.
  2. To turn OFF: Press the switch again.
  3. For dimmable models: Adjust the dimmer switch slowly to desired brightness.

WARNING! Do not operate the light if the cover/diffuser is damaged or removed. Allow the fixture to cool before handling after extended use.

Care & Cleaning

Turn off and disconnect power before cleaning.

  1. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior surface.
  2. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Do not allow moisture to enter any openings.
  3. Never use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or sprays directly on the fixture.

CAUTION! Do not immerse the light fixture or power adapter in water. The LED module is not user-serviceable; do not attempt to open it.
