The Sunco 5/6" Gimbal Selectable Retrofit LED Light is designed for versatility, featuring a 360-degree swivel and 45-degree tilt. It is compatible with 5-inch or 6-inch cans and allows you to select from five different color temperatures during installation. For optimal performance, use an ELV (electronic low voltage) dimmer.
Product Overview
This LED light is ideal for vaulted ceilings and artwork due to its wide 90-degree beam angle. It consumes 12W of power, providing an output comparable to a 60W incandescent bulb. The unit is damp-rated, making it suitable for various indoor environments.

Installation and Setup
Color Temperature Selection: You must select your preferred color temperature during the installation process. Ensure the light is securely fitted into your 5-inch or 6-inch housing can.
Dimmer Compatibility
We highly recommend using an ELV (electronic low voltage) dimmer compatible with LED lights. If you experience buzzing or flickering, it is typically an indication that the dimmer and the lights are not compatible. Please consult the dimmer manufacturer's documentation for maximum wattage capacity.
Troubleshooting
Pop-on Behavior: If the lights do not turn on immediately at their minimum level, this is known as "pop-on" behavior. To resolve this, first raise the slider switch above the minimum level to turn the lights on, then dim to your desired light level.
Buzzing or Flickering: This usually indicates a compatibility issue with the dimmer switch. Ensure you are using an ELV-compatible dimmer.
