Product Information
Full details
The Dimatec 12V Flexi Switched Reading Light is a versatile illumination tool designed for motorhomes, caravans, and campervan enthusiasts who require localized, adjustable lighting. Its primary benefit is the flexible neck design paired with dual-color temperature capabilities, which allows users to switch between warm and cool tones for reading or task work. While highly functional, it is important to note that this unit requires a dedicated 12V DC power source, making it unsuitable for standard household 240V AC electrical systems without a compatible power transformer.

FAQs
Can I install this light in my home?
No, this is a 12V DC light. It must be used with a 12V vehicle battery system and cannot be connected directly to 240V mains power.
How do I change the color temperature?
The light is equipped with a switch that toggles between the two color temperature modes.
Does this light require a transformer?
If you are using it in a vehicle, it connects directly to the existing 12V supply. If you attempt to use it elsewhere, you would need a 12V DC power supply adapter.
Is the light bulb replaceable?
This unit utilizes an integrated LED system, which is designed for longevity and does not require traditional bulb replacement.
What is the maximum reach of the flexible neck?
The neck is designed to provide sufficient reach for most standard cabin seating and bedside reading distances; exact dimensions vary by installation angle.
Troubleshooting

Check the 12V fuse in your vehicle's distribution panel and ensure the wire connections are secure.

Inspect the connection points for loose wiring and ensure the voltage at the source is stable at 12V.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Dimatec Flexi Light, ensure you have access to a 12V DC circuit within your vehicle. When installing, verify that the polarity is correct to prevent damage to the lighting unit. Mount the base to a sturdy surface using appropriate hardware for your wall material. Regarding care, clean the light and base periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the plastic finish or the flexible neck sleeve. Do not attempt to bend the neck beyond its mechanical limit, as this may damage the internal wiring over time.
