High/Low Power Settings (single color lights only, excluding BK models)
There are 3 modes these lights can be set to work in:
• Constant High Power
• Constant Low Power
• Manually Switched High/Low Power

power. This means that you can use the Purple wire to control whether the
light operates under high power (day mode) or low power (night mode):
• High Power Only:
Cut the Purple wire short
and tape it off.
• Low Power Only:
Connect the Purple wire to
Ground.
• Manually Switched
High/Low Power:
Connect the Purple wire to
Ground through a switch.
