Product Information

Full details

The Aurora Utilite CS Round LED Bulkhead is designed for users needing durable, adaptable, and reliable outdoor or utility lighting. Its key benefit is the color-switchable technology, allowing you to choose the ideal light temperature (3000K, 4000K, or 6500K) for any setting. A potential caveat to consider is its specific operating temperature range, which may require alternative solutions for extreme cold or heat.

How do I change the color temperature?

The color temperature can be changed using the integrated switch on the fitting, typically accessible after removing the diffuser. Ensure the power is off before making adjustments.

Is this light suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, with an IP65 rating, it is protected against dust and water jets, making it suitable for most outdoor applications.

What does IP65 mean?

IP65 means the luminaire is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction.

Can I use this light in a very cold environment?

The light can operate in ambient temperatures as low as -20°C, making it suitable for many cold climates.

Does this bulkhead require a specific type of wiring?

It requires a standard 230V mains connection. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and switched on at the circuit breaker. Verify that the internal wiring connections are secure. Check if the fuse (if applicable) has blown.

Incorrect color temperature is displayed.

Turn off the power to the fitting. Access the color switch (usually located on the fitting itself) and re-select the desired color temperature (3000K, 4000K, or 6500K). Restore power.

Flickering light.

Check all electrical connections for tightness. If the flickering persists, the LED driver may be faulty and require replacement by a qualified electrician.

Reduced brightness over time.

Ensure the diffuser is clean and free from dust or grime. If brightness does not recover, it may indicate the end of the LED's lifespan, and the unit may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This fixture requires connection to a 230V mains power supply. Ensure the power is switched off at the breaker before commencing installation. The color temperature is selected via a switch typically located on the fitting or driver, accessible once the cover is removed. Consult a qualified electrician for safe and correct installation.
