What are the steps for COB LED downlight replacement?

Replacing a cob led downlight replacement requires following safe and systematic steps to ensure proper installation and avoid damage to the ceiling or new fixture. Whether it’s a worn - out light or an upgrade to a smarter model, correct operation is key. IMIGY Lighting’s Wave Down Lights and Grace Down Lights are designed for easy replacement, simplifying the process. The following details the steps.

Wave Down Lights

1. Prepare Tools and Power Off

Before starting, gather tools such as a screwdriver, voltage tester, and gloves. Most importantly, turn off the power supply to the downlight at the circuit breaker to prevent electric shock. This step is crucial for all types, including slim downlights and smart led downlights like our Wave Down Lights.

2. Remove the Old Downlight

a. Take Out the Old Fixture

Gently pull the old downlight from the ceiling. If it’s a recessed model, there may be clips holding it in place—press the clips inward to release. For models similar to our Grace Down Lights (a type of recessed slim panel led downlight), be careful not to damage the ceiling edges during removal.

b. Disconnect Wires

Once the old light is out, disconnect the wires by unscrewing the wire nuts. Note the wire connections (usually live, neutral, and ground) to ensure correct reconnection later. This applies to both basic downlights and smart downlights with additional control wires.

3. Install the New COB LED Downlight

a. Connect Wires for Wave Down Lights

Our Wave Down Lights, as smart led downlights, have clear wire labels. Match the live, neutral, and ground wires of the light with those in the ceiling, then secure them with wire nuts. Their compact design, similar to a slim downlight, makes wiring easier in tight spaces.

b. Secure Grace Down Lights in Place

Grace Down Lights, a type of recessed slim panel led downlight, are installed by aligning them with the ceiling hole and pushing gently until the clips lock into place. Ensure the fixture is flush with the ceiling to maintain a neat look, which is a advantage of this slim downlight design.

4. Test and Adjust

Turn the power back on and test if the new downlight works. For smart downlights like Wave Down Lights, connect them to the smart system (e.g., app or voice assistant) to check dimming and color adjustment functions. Adjust the light angle if needed to ensure optimal illumination, a feature available in both Wave Down Lights and Grace Down Lights.

cob led downlight replacement can be done smoothly by following these steps: prepare tools and power off, remove the old light, install the new one, and test. IMIGY Lighting’s Wave Down Lights (a smart led downlight) and Grace Down Lights (a recessed slim panel led downlight) simplify the process with user - friendly designs, suitable for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals.
