GimbalGlow 4" Recessed RGBW Downlight

The 4" Gimbal Recessed RGBW Downlight

This design makes it perfect for tight spaces and low voltage wiring makes it easy to put these in places that might not otherwise be well suited for traditional recessed lighting. 

Here's what you'll need to assemble these:

• 3D Printed Pieces (Wrenches are optional but help with assembly)
• M3 x 16-20mm Button Head or Socket Head machine screws (2 per lighting pod)
• M3 Hex Nuts (2 per lighting pod)
• LED Puck Lights. These are specifically designed to fit the AIBOO RGBW lights from Amazon. They are only 3W per puck and produce a very low amount of heat making them a perfect choice for PLA.

• 3.5" Hole Saw & Arbor https://amzn.to/43hu0MR https://amzn.to/3KsWQku
  • Depending on the material you are installing these into you can also use a jig saw or rotozip. The hole diameter must be at least 3.3".

Assembly:

1. Assemble the lights into the pods first. 
   1. Using a soldering iron heat set the (2) M3 Nuts into the back of the pods. They should bottom out about 6-7mm into the pod. 
   2. Remove the front cover from the lights along with the diffuser. This will expose the bare LED board
   3. Using (2) M3 x 16-20mm machine screws secure each LED puck into the pod. It is recommended to tighten the screws gently until they stop and then loosen by ¼ turn. Be careful not to damage the surface mount LEDs. 
   4. Re-install the diffuser and cover. The cover will be very snug and may be difficult to get into place. I recommend using masking tape to help grip the cover and be careful not to cross-thread
   5. Once installed the cover should be flush with the top of the pod
2. Drop the assembled pod with LED puck into the main housing from the back
3. Route the wire though the center of the internal retaining nut and screw the nut into the back of the assembly
4. Using the optional wrench screw the retaining nut into the assembly until all threads are covered. Continue tightening until you are satisfied with the tension. You should be able to move the gimbal assembly with light pressure. Be careful not to overtighten
5. Drill/cut a 3.5" hole into your desired location. Note you will need access to the back of this location to route the wire and install the retaining nut. Verify the location you are drilling is free from any existing wiring, plumbing etc. 
6. Install the assembly into the hole and use the external retaining nut to secure it. Be careful not to cross thread or overtighten.
