Instructions
Thank you for your purchase of this adjustable white WiFi-enabled pivoting under cabinet light. Whether you want a bright white task light or the ambiance of a subtle warm white glow, this light has you covered with infinitely-adjustable brightness and 3000K, 4000K & 5000K modes accessible directly from the light. Or, pair to WiFi and enjoy any color temperature from 3000K to 5000K. With the Westek app, you can even set your lights so you wake up to a soft glow and slowly ramp up to a full-bright daylight lamp. Or better yet, let Alexa or the Google Assistant adjust them for you – the choice is yours!
Getting Started
- Read these instructions in their entirety before installing or using this product.
- Do not mount this light over a sink or a stove, in small enclosed spaces, or in wet locations.
- For use with 120V, 60Hz electrical power only.
- Do not use on a dimmer-controlled outlet or when connected to a dimmer. This light features on-unit dimming and is not compatible with external dimmers.
- This light is linkable with other Westek PPCCT models. Never link more than 240 Watts of PPCCT lights total. NOTE: WiFi will only work with PPCCT-WIFI models.
This light fixture can be installed via direct wire or with the included 5’ Power Cord. When using the power cord, this light must be plugged into a grounded outlet – do not use an adapter, extension cord, or alter the plug in any way.
WARNING
This light may present a possible shock or fire hazard if not properly
installed. Products should be installed in accordance with these instructions,
current local electrical codes, and/or the National Electric Code. Always
follow all grounding directions.
Choose Your Installation Method
Determine your installation location and method for connecting 120V power to
the fixture. Lights connected to the house wiring with the use of a plug and
power cord and are generally simpler to install. Direct wire units are
designed to be permanently mounted and are directly connected to the house
wiring through junction boxes, and offer some benefits such as the ability to
connect to switches, but are often more complex to install. Because local
codes vary, we cannot offer exact guidance on how to direct wire this light to
meet your local building codes. If you are not sure how to install this light
properly, consult a local licensed electrician or electrical contractor before
proceeding.
Mounting the Light
Place the light against desired mounting surface and use a pencil to mark the spot where the screws will be located, as shown in Figure 1. For best lighting aesthetics, we recommend mounting your light towards the front edge of your cabinet with the pivoting head positioned towards the rear of your cabinet; this position usually gives the best adjustability of the light, however you may mount it in any desired position based on your preferred aesthetics. If installing to wood cabinets, use the included screws and drill 1/16” pilot holes. Caution: Check your cabinet thickness first and use a drill depth stop to avoid drilling through your cabinet. Secure the light to your cabinet using a #2 Philips screwdriver and the included screws. If mounting to drywall, use wall anchors rated for the application and weight (not included).
Installing the Light
Plug In Installation
Connect the 5’ power cord to the power input of the light. The power input on
the light is on the side of the light closest to the power buttons. If
installing more than one compatible light, these lights may be linked together
using the included linking cable. The linking cable connects to the power
output port of the first light, located on the end further from the power
buttons, and connects to the power input of the second light. WARNING: Do
not conceal power supply cords inside a wall, ceiling, soffit, cabinet, or
other enclosed structure. Do not run power cords through holes in walls,
ceilings or floors. Use only UL-Listed cable staples to secure the wire to the
bottom of the cabinet or wall for a clean-looking installation.
Direct Wire Installation
WARNING: Before installing this light, make sure to de-energize the
electrical circuit, and do not re-energize it until you have completed the
installation.
Install the light in accordance with all applicable building codes and
regulations. If you have any questions on proper installation or regulations,
consult a licensed electrician. To install, remove the desired knockout on the
back or rear access panel of the light and install the included strain relief
connector as shown in Figure 2 and wire the light as shown in Figures 3 & 4.
Do not leave any open holes on the housing – if you remove more than one
knockout, plug the un-used knockouts. This light should be wired with 14 AWG
or 12AWG armored or non-metallic cable as required by your local electrical
codes and/or the National Electric Code. This light should not be connected to
an external dimmer switch – dimming is controlled on-unit or via WiFi.

On the schedule page, you can program specific on/off times for your lights. You can set a tag (your personal identifier for that operation), decide if you want to receive a push notification from the app when the schedule is enabled, and you can choose your preset action (turn on, turn off, turn on and dim, or set scene).Note, the schedule page runs off of the 24-Hour time format (00:00 to 23:59).
On the Scenes page, you can select from pre-determined scenes, or create your
own scenes for quick access to your desired brightness and color temperature.
Scenes can be used in your schedules as well, making them great for
automations.
On the sleep timer page, you can set your lights to remain on for a fixed amount of time, then power off. The power will remain off when set by sleep timer until the next schedule event turns it back on, or until you turn it on manually.
