Redilight Spectra User manual

areas in the homeor office. It works much the same as a skylight with
a sunup andsun down effect. As the sun rises the light gets brighter
then as the sun sets in the afternoon the light intensity reduces.
Note: Optional Day/Night kits available for night time use.

When determining a suitable location for the solar panel a northerly aspect is benecial.
Be mindful of potential shading from larger objects over the course of the day.
ALWAYS adhere to local safety guidelines regarding working at heights, a safety
harness may be required.

Remove or kick up a tile directly above a roof truss, then do the same either 600mm or 900mm to the left or
right to find another roof truss. Fix a tile bracket to the top chord of the truss by screwing 3 x 65mm tech
screws into it as shown below (You may need to pre-drill hole). Once screwed into place just replace or pull
down the top tile back over the bracket for a weather proof seal. Repeat this step 4 times as you will need 2
brackets for the bottom rail and 2 brackets for the top rail.
Tip: If the tile bracket is making the tile sit up you can do two things, use a pair of pliers to pinch out some
tile on the underside in line with the bracket or you can use a grinder to trim a small section so the tile will sit
nice and snug over the bracket.

Select a position on the roof that is free of potential shade by vegetation or over hanging obstacles, a North
facing roof for the solar panel is generally preferred for more general light throughout the day.

Now that the rails have been secured to the mounting brackets you are now ready to mount the solar panel
to the rails as follows.
Fix the solar panel to the rails by using the 4 end clamps supplied. Tighten the Allen head bolts on the end
clamps firmly to secure the solar panel to both rails as shown below….

Simply unscrew existing roof screws that screw into the roof batten and use the same holes to mount the 4 x ‘L’
brackets that will support the rail. Be sure to use the supplied rubber washer under the bracket for a weather
proof seal.

Installation Instructions
For heavy duty mounting brackets
Connecting light to driver
Connect the solar panel cable to the green plug on the Redilight driver (Fig 20)The red wire connects to
positive (+) and the black wire to the negative (-) .
Once solar panel connection is complete, plug in the light fitting connector (Fig 21) and you will have light
Note: If no lights come on once connection is complete then check polarity.
A secondary light driver can be daisy-chained from an existing light driver if necessary. Utilise the
secondary terminal points (Fig 21) on the existing light driver to connect to the secondary light driver
using the solar cable. Do not daisy-chain more than three (3) drivers in any sequence.
24watt Recessed Light Fitting
Once the location for the light fitting is established, centrally create a 20mm hole to allow the light
fitting plug & cable to pass through (Fig 15)for connection to the Redilight driver which is located in the
ceiling cavity. Then mount the light fitting to the ceiling (Fig 16)using three screws for a secure fix.
CAUTION... Be careful not to damage the LED plate whilst mounting light fitting to ceiling.
Now fit the diffuser by simply aligning the three slots and turn anti-clockwise (approx 1/4 turn) until
firm and tight.
Proceed to step 8...
Simply cut hole in ceiling being mindful to avoid any building structure or services (Fig 18), then pull back
the 3 spring clips on the downlight (Fig 19)and gently fit into the hole then allow the clips to spring back
against the top side of ceiling to secure the downlight to the ceiling.
Proceed to step 8...

Connect DC cable to solar panel
Always follow electrical wiring standards applicable to your location. Route the DC cable (C) from your solar
panel through the roof cavity to the location where the Redilight fitting is to be installed.
Tip: If installing two lights that are opposite ends of the building it is beneficial to create a central junction
point between both lights to alleviate any light differential.
