Selecting a GloBrite White Light Brightness Level using a Wall Switch
GloBrite White lights allow you to choose from one of three br ightness levels (100%,
75% and 50%). Whenever the GloBrite white light is turned on, it starts at its highest
brightness level (100%). If it has been set to the medium (75%) or low brightness level
(50%), it will turn on at 100% then step down to the correct brightness level in one or
two one (1) second steps.
To select one of the GloBrite’s three brightness levels (100%, 75% and 50%) first
power on the lights, then by rapidly cycling the light switch OFF and ON a specified
number of times, you can select the desired light brightness level.
Selecting the light’s brightness levels is as follows:
• 100% Brightness: Switching the lights OFF then rapidly back ON, will set
the lights to 100% brightness.
• 75% Brightness: Switch OFF-ON-OFF-ON and the lights will come on at
100% them dim to 75% after 1 second.
• 50% Brightness: Switch OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON and the lights will
come on at 100%, dim to 75% after one second and then dim to 50% after
another second.
GloBrite™ White Lights can be controlled using a standard wall-mount light switch. Multiple
GloBrite white lights can be connected via a junction box and a 12 VAC transformer to a
single switch so that all lights can be switched on and off together. GloBrite White lights
are controlled by cycling AC power to the 12 VAC transformer from a standard wall switch.
By turning the switch on and off a specific number of times, you can choose from one of
three brightness levels.
Powering on the GloBrite White LED Lights
Note: The GloBrite White LED light ships from the factory in the 100% brightness
mode.
When the GloBrite White light is powered on, it defaults to the previously selected
brightness level. Note: If power to the light is off for more than five (5) seconds, the last
brightness level that was saved will be displayed.
