Hello my electrician installs two Sunlight in my house that can be turned on/off from three different on/off switches. My problem is that the lights change temperature every time I turn them on. I have the instructions here please help. There is something about the three temperatures on that paper that maybe you pros figure out. Thank you

 

It would seem these lights are designed to be operated from a remote control and not from an on/off switch.

So, I doubt there is anything you can do about the issue.

 

Welcome to AAC!
Do you have the remote control?

 

Yes, since it apparently was not designed to be controlled from a power switch, it has no memory of what the last color temperature setting was when unpowered, and likely just powers up with either an arbitrary or default setting.

OK.the lights change COLOR TEMPERATURE setting. Now it makes a bit of sense.

 

I have the remote control

Can you set the color temperature using the remote control?

 

From the instructions it would appear the design of the lamp doesn't include any memory for preferred color temperature. It seems to be showing that the wall switch will cycle through the three options and the remote has either two (6500K and 3000K with the K+ and K- buttons) or three (cycling with through the three options with the middle button of the lower three.

Unless there is an undocumented memory function it seems you are stuck with what you have.

 

The instructions are as useless as any typical Ikea instructions. What might possibly work, maybe, is to wire the remote between the switched mains power and the light. That might allow setting a give color temp.

The instructions (and the TS post) show that operating the power switch iteratively cycles through the three color temperature options. The problem is that the TS wants a particular one, and only that one. The requirement to press the power switch multiple times is an annoyance.

Totally correct. THAT is why I suggested adding the remote, in line, between the switched mains and the lights. It is the only obvious option shert of getting rather complicated. And it is part of the reason avoid such gimmick features.

That would require considerable skill/knowledge to adapt/interface the wireless remote. I doubt the TS would find it easy.

 

My suggestion is still to revise the wiring so that the control module is in the circuit between the three lights and the several switches. This is why it is rather important to read and understand the product description literature. It is also why I do not shop at some of those sites.. I read the labels!

 

It's better to just buy LED fixtures that do the one colour temperature you like, which is usually warm white.

 

I do not likw "warm white " light except possibly when I am ready to sleep.

 

Can you set the color temperature using the remote control?

Yes. Change temperature and dim

 

Correct quested I have no skills on electricity

 

Thanks for all answers. I also check the leds are used for each color indepentently so the Warm is half leds, White the other half leds and Warmwhite both together.

 

On some LED light sets I have seen a physical means of setting the color temp. A close examination might reveal such a means. Or maybe not. It would require a good light and a good magnifier to carefully examine the circuit board.
