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.

Selecting a GloBrite White Light Brightness Level using a Wall Switch

GloBrite White lights allow you to choose from one of three brightness 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%).

To select one of the Glob rite’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.
