Redilight SPECTRA User manual

Redilight SPECTRA offers a Green Energy Solution for light starved
areas in the home or office. It works much the same as a skylight with
a sun up and sun 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.
Helpful hints when Installing
When determining a suitable location for the solar panel a northerly aspect is beneficial.
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 harnessmay be
required.

Once both brackets are secured pull down tiles to their original position (Fig 4)
Once solar panel location is finalised push up two tiles so you have access to the timber batten as shown in figure 2.
Position both bottom brackets (Fig 1) on the high ridges of the tile (Fig 2), then with screws provided (H) screw bracket
into the timber batten for a firm and solid fix. (Fig 3)
Tip - Before screwing bracket, tap bracket wi t h a hammer to help mould around the tile and against the timber
batten, this will help when screwing bracket to batten.

Step 1: Selecting solar panel location
Ideally select a location with a northerly aspect for maximum sunlight. Alternatively, if more light is required during the
morning,choose an easterly aspect;or a western aspect if more light is required in the afternoons.
*If possible, avoid locations that experience any type of shade such as neighbouring buildings or trees that could possible
cast a shadow at a particular time of day. Shade will decrease the light output

Step 2: Mounting the bottom 2 brackets
Step 3: Mounting the top brackets
Select top brackets, these are an adjustable 2 piece bracket with locking nut. (Fig 5)
Place solar panel against the bottom brackets so as to get a measurement for the top bracket, then push 2 tiles up to
gain access to the timber batten (Fig 6)
Repeat step 2 in screwing both brackets to the timber batten for a secure fix (Fig 7) then pull both tiles down to original
position over brackets. (Fig 8) Proceed to step 4.

Step 4: Connect DC cable to Solar Panel
Step 5: Secure Solar Panel to brackets
Adjust top 2 brackets to Solar panel and fix with self drilling screws supplied (G) (Fig 11) Then fix bottom 2 brackets
to solar panel in the same manner. Once solar panel is secured to all 4 brackets tighten the locking wings nuts on
the top two brackets and you are done. (Fig 13)
Tip - Place some roof silicon under each bracket which when set will help firm up brackets to tile.
Caution: Take care not to drill into the solar panel glass.Mount screws approx mid way down the aluminium frame.
Once you’ve connected and finished mounting the solar panel you are now ready to go down and connect the light
fitting. Proceed to Step 6.

Turn solar panel over and unscrew cover on black junction box and connect the red and black wires. The red
wire connects to the positive (+), and black wire to the negative (-) as shown in (Fig 9B)
Push the other end of cable between tiles and into roof cavity, then run the cable in the roof cavity towards
light fitting for connection. (Fig 10)
Tip - Place some extra protection around cable under tile i.e. Heat shrink…

Installation Instructions
For standard mounting brackets
Using two existing roofing screws, place the bottom two brackets (D) approx 400mm apart depending on where existing
screws are. Place rubber washer (I) under each bracket then screw brackets down with existing roofing screws back into
roof batten for a solid fixing (Fig 11) if existing roofing screws are not available then use the hexhead roofing screws (F)
provided.
Place solar panel on the bottom brackets so as to get a measurement for the top 2 brackets then repeat step 2 for
mounting the top two brackets (Fig 12 & 13)
Turn solar panel over and unscrew cover on black junction box and connect the red and black wires. The red wire
connects to the positive (+), and the black wire to the negative (-) as shown in (Fig 14)
Before mounting solar panels to brackets, drill a 10mm hole through a high rib on the roof sheet
(preferably under solar panel), This is for the DC cable to go through and into the ceiling cavity. Push cable
through rubber flashing first then place a generous amount of roof silicon in and around the hole and under
rubber flashing, then using 4 screws supplied, screw rubber flashing to roof sheet. (Fig 15)
Step 2: Positioning bottom brackets

Step 8: Connecting Redilight driver
Connect the solar panel cable to the green plug on the Redilight driver (Fig 22) 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 23) and you will have light (Note: If
no lights come on once connection is complete then check polarity.)
Do not cover the driver with insulation. Best practice is to be mount driver to building frame (Fig 24) above insulation line.
A secondary light driver can be daisy-chained from an existing light driver if necessary. Utilise the secondary terminal
points (fig 22) 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.
24 Watt 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 17) for connection to the Redilight driver which is located in the ceiling cavity. Then
mount the light fitting to the ceiling (Fig 18) 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 20), then pull back the 3
spring clips on the downlight (Fig 21) 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.
Tip - Start by inserting one spring clip, then insert the other two spring clips at the same time.

Step 6: 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.
