Make sure the following components are included in your package:

• Flat Panel LED Skylight Fixture
• Mounting Screws & Hardware
• Wire Nuts
• Installation Instructions
• Decorative White Frame (pre-attached)

Powering the Device - The skylight requires a hardwired 120V connection. No batteries or plugs are involved. Installation should comply with all local electrical codes. If you're not comfortable with electrical work, we highly recommend hiring a licensed electrician.

Common Setup Issues: 

• The fixture doesn't power on: Check wiring connections, wall switch function, and circuit breaker.
• White light doesn’t change color: Ensure color temperature is selected before finalizing the installation (cannot be changed afterward).
• Flickering during dimming: Only use compatible LED-rated dimmer switches.

Set up Steps:

1. Turn Off Power:
   Shut off power at the circuit breaker before beginning installation.
2. Prepare Ceiling Wiring:
   Verify your ceiling box has a 120V power line and enough space for the fixture.
3. Set Color Temperature:
   On the back of the fixture, locate the white light selector switch. Choose your preferred color temperature (3000K–6500K). This must be done before mounting.
4. Connect Wiring:
   Use the provided wire nuts to connect the black (live), white (neutral), and green (ground) wires from your ceiling to the corresponding fixture wires.
5. Secure Fixture to Ceiling:
   Use mounting screws to attach the fixture base securely to the ceiling junction box.
6. Turn Power On & Test:
   Restore power and test the MultiMode function using your wall switch. Flip the switch off/on quickly to toggle through:

• • Skylight + White Light
  • White Light Only
  • Skylight Only

     7. Optional: Connect to a Dimmer Switch
         If you plan to use dimming functionality, install a compatible LED dimmer in place of your current             switch.

FAQs:

• Can I adjust the white light color after installing?
  No. Color temperature must be selected during installation.
• Does this light work with dimmers?
  Yes, but only with compatible LED dimmer switches.
• Can I use it in a bathroom?
  Yes, it's rated for damp locations.
• How do I cycle through light modes?
  Use a standard wall switch. Flip off/on quickly to change modes.

Usage & Tips:

• Choose your white color temperature (3000K–6500K) before final installation.
• Use a double flip of your wall switch to easily switch between lighting modes.
• Install in areas where natural light is lacking to maximize the skylight effect.
• Make sure the ceiling box can support the fixture’s weight and wiring clearance.
• Turn off power at the breaker, not just the switch for safe installation.
