The Parmida 120V LED Step Light is designed for recessed mounting in indoor and outdoor locations. For outdoor use, a watertight junction box (not included) and gasket are required. All electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local and National Electrical Code (N.E.C). The fixture is not serviceable; do not attempt to disassemble it.
Selecting Color Temperature
This fixture features a 3CCT selector switch located on the back of the light. Before changing the color temperature, ensure the power is disconnected. Lift the switch cover to access the switch and select your preferred setting:
- 3000K: Soft White
- 4000K: Cool White
- 5000K: Day Light
Installation Steps
- Turn off the power at the fuse box or circuit breaker before starting.
- Use a standard depth single gang junction box as the rough-in box.
- Use the switch on the back to choose your preferred color temperature (3000K, 4000K, or 5000K).
- Remove the yellow backing from the adhesive foam gasket and stick it to the back of the fixture.
- Connect the fixture wires to the supply wires using wire nuts (White to Neutral, Black to Live).
- Align the top and bottom holes of the fixture with the junction box holes and secure with screws.
- Cover the screw holes using the provided hole plugs.
- Fill the gap between the fixture and the wall with a sealant (not included).
- Turn on the power.
Dimming and Compatibility
Dimming performance depends on the dimmer model, wiring method, and the number of fixtures on the circuit. For best results, it is recommended to install a minimum of four LED modules on one dimmer. Always set the dimmer to the maximum position before adjusting to a lower light level. The fixture is compatible with various Lutron and Leviton dimmers, including models like MACL-153P, DVCL-153P, and 6674.
Safety Warnings
- Risk of fire or electric shock.
- Disconnect main power before installing or servicing.
- Do not look directly into the LEDs.
- Do not use any driver other than the Parmida Lighting driver included with the fixture.
- Ensure ambient temperatures do not exceed 104°F during operation.
