Step-by-Step Guide on How to Install Auralyte 5CCT Downlight:

Begin by tracing the cutout template from the package to mark the installation area. Remove a knockout hole and attach the Romex connector, then feed the wiring into the junction box. Connect the wires using the provided wire nuts, ensuring a bit of insulation is visible inside the box, and neatly tuck everything in.

Plug in the light and secure it with the locking nut. Select your preferred color temperature before fully installing. Push the drywall clips back firmly into place; some pressure or a tool may be needed for the second clip. Once the fixture is secure, attach your magnetic shade and enjoy your new LED lighting.

Note: We would not advise any homeowner to DIY the installation themselves for the hardwired Auralyte downlights. The E26 version is DIY-friendly, but for all other versions, an electrician should handle the install for safety.
