Why Isn’t My Vista 6 in. x 2 ft. Flat Panel LED Skylight Not Working Properly?

Why Is My Vista 6 in. x 2 ft. Flat Panel LED Skylight Not Working or Flickering?

If your Feit Electric Vista 6 in. x 2 ft. Flat Panel LED Skylight isn't performing as expected, don’t worry. This guide covers common issues customers may encounter during installation or daily use, from power problems to mode-switching confusion. Most fixes are quick and simple.

Key Areas Covered:

Model Number: FP0.5X2/SKY/5CCT/WH

• Power Issues:
  Fixture doesn’t turn on at all or Skylight/white light isn’t responding.
• Hardware Concerns:
  Flickering lights or Mode-switching doesn’t work. White light color temperature seems off.
• User Errors:
  Incorrect wiring connections or Skipping the color temperature setting during installation. Using incompatible dimmers.
• System Performance:
  MultiMode not cycling properly or Dimming isn’t smooth. One light (white or skylight) stays off unexpectedly.

Troubleshooting:

• Fixture Not Powering On:
– Double-check that the circuit breaker is on and the wall switch is functional
– Confirm wiring: Black to live, white to neutral, green to ground
– Check wire nut connections are tight and secure

• Light Flickering:
– Most often caused by an incompatible dimmer switch
– Try operating with a standard on/off switch to test fixture stability

• White Light Color Can’t Be Changed:
– That’s by design: the color temperature must be selected on the back switch before installation
– If already installed, you would need to take the fixture down to change it

• MultiMode Feature Not Switching:
– Flip the wall switch off/on quickly (within 2 seconds) to cycle through modes
– If the timing is off, the feature may not register
– Make sure you're not using a dimmer to control mode switching, it may interfere

• Only One Light (White or Skylight) Turns On:
– Likely stuck in a particular MultiMode state
– Try power cycling a few times to reset
– If issue persists, turn off power completely for 30 seconds and restart

FAQs:

• Why is the fixture not dimming properly?
  Check if you’re using a dimmer designed for LEDs. Standard or incompatible dimmers can cause flicker or failure.
• Can I add smart control to this light?
  No. This model is not smart-enabled and doesn’t support Wi-Fi or app-based control.
• Why can’t I change the color temperature after installation?
  It’s a fixed switch located on the back. You must select your preferred setting before mounting the fixture.
• How do I reset the light modes?
  Flip your wall switch off and on quickly to cycle through: Skylight + White, White Only, Skylight Only.

Usage & Tips:

• Always install using a compatible LED-rated dimmer or a standard switch
• Select the white light color temperature before mounting
• Don’t use in fully enclosed ceiling fixtures. Doing so can affect performance
• If the light mode feels “stuck,” power cycle your switch multiple times to reset
• For best results, install in dry or damp-rated areas only
