American Lighting SPKPL-RDLRE LED Down Light Installation Guide

Quick Guide and Safety Information

The American Lighting SPKPL-RDLRE is a 120V AC LED downlight suitable for wet locations. Important: This fixture is not intended for use with standard wall plate dimmer switches. It must be controlled via the Spektrum+ Smart Lighting Bluetooth App or the Spektrum+ handheld remote controller (sold separately). Installation requires knowledge of recessed lighting systems; if you are not qualified, contact a professional electrician.

Installation

The installation process varies depending on whether you are performing a new construction or a remodel.

New Construction

An aluminum rough-in plate is recommended. Position the plate across two joists and secure it in four places using the mounting slots. Run electrical wire from the switch to the location and anchor it appropriately.

Remodel Installation

No mounting plate or can is required.

1. Turn off power at the electrical panel.
2. Locate the installation spot and trace the outline of the cut-out template on the ceiling.
3. Cut the hole following the outline. Refer to the Hole Cut Sizes table in the manual for specific dimensions (2-inch or 4-inch round/square).
4. Run electrical wire from the switch through the mounting hole using NMD90 Romex or BX cable.

Wiring

Ensure power is turned off at the source before proceeding.

1. Open the hardwire box swing cover and remove the appropriate knockout.
2. Insert the electrical supply cable and secure it with a cable connector.
3. Connect the wires using wire nuts: green/ground to green, white to white, and black to black.
4. Use the CCT slider switch inside the driver junction box to set the desired color temperature.
5. Place all wiring back into the box, close the cover, and ensure wires are not pinched.
6. Insert the hardwire box through the mounting hole.

Fixture Installation

1. Connect the fixture to the hardwire box by twisting the male/female connectors together.
2. Push the spring-loaded clips on the fixture upwards and insert the base into the mounting hole.
3. Release the clips so the fixture is pulled flush to the ceiling.
4. Turn on the power to confirm the fixture is working.

Control and Setup

The fixture uses Bluetooth Wireless Technology. To reset the device, power it ON and OFF 3 times in succession; the device will pulse BLUE once reset. Follow the Spektrum+ Smart Lighting App guide for full configuration.

Care and Maintenance

Clean the fixture using only a mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or rough cloths that may scratch the finish or the lens.
