Troubleshooting

Downlight does not turn on.

Ensure power is connected and the circuit breaker is in the 'on' position. Verify wiring connections to the FastRFix connector and ensure the push-fit terminals are properly engaged. Check if a compatible dimmer switch is installed and functioning correctly.

Flickering light.

This may indicate an incompatible dimmer switch. Ensure the dimmer is rated for LED use and is compatible with this specific downlight. Check all wiring connections for looseness.

Incorrect color temperature or brightness.

Verify that the wattage and color temperature switches on the downlight were set correctly *before* installation. If adjustments are needed, the fixture may need to be removed.

Poor light output.

Ensure the correct wattage (6W for higher output) has been selected. Check for any obstructions or dust buildup on the diffuser. Confirm that the selected dimmer setting is not set too low.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The installation is streamlined thanks to the FastRFix™ connector with push-fit LENNEL terminals, designed for loop-in loop-out wiring. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting any electrical work. The low-profile design and soft springs make fitting into cutouts easy, even in shallow ceiling voids. The wattage and color temperature can be adjusted via small switches on the unit *before* installation.

Compatibility: This downlight is compatible with solid timber, I-joist, and metal web joist ceilings. It is dimmable, but requires a compatible LED dimmer switch (sold separately). It is designed to be compatible with insulation cover.

Care: To maintain the appearance and performance, clean the downlight with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish and the unit.
