DECIDING WHERE TO PLACE YOUR 6SL

Where can I place the fixture(s)?
6SL is designed for covered ceiling applications only. Each
unit installs to a 6" recessed can housing (with minimum
height 6" and minimum diameter 6") and is suitable for dry
and wet locations – offering complete home lighting and
audio where you can place fixtures in your living room, kitchen,
hallway, living room, patio soffits, or canopies.

Can 6SL be installed in a shower?

6SL is rated for wet locations, which are locations in which
water or other liquid can drip, splash, or flow on or against
electrical equipment. Indoor Wet Locations include residential
shower enclosures.
6SL cannot be installed in most steam rooms, dormitory
showers or anything with high temperature and moistures, etc.
which require an IP Rating; however, for household showers
the normal UL1598 wet location testing is conducted.
What is the low temp rating for 6SL? Can they be used in
outdoor soffits in cold temp climates?
6SL has been tested in lab environments at 25°C. The minimum
start temperature for the LED driver is -18°C (0°F). However,
charging the battery at a very low temperature such as below
0°C (32°F) will result in lower capacity and reduced battery
life. Due to the battery, the recommended ambient operating
temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).
Can the 6SL be used to add stereo sound or surround
sound to my space?
For a stereo sound effect, install a minimum of 2 units in the
room (1 Master and 1 Satellite): 1 unit on the left side and the
other on the right side.
Stereo Sound Effect
For surround sound effect, install a minimum of 4 units in the
room (1 Master and 3 Satellites): 1 unit in the front of the room,
1 unit in the back of the room, 1 unit on the left side of the
room, and 1 on the right side of the room.
Surround Sound Effect
If someone wanted to play different music, in a different
area, would they have to change the toggle switch on the
Master, before that can happen?
To play different music in different areas: Each area needs to
have a Master Unit and separate Bluetooth enable device. You
can convert a Satellite unit to a Master unit if needed.
If you had a speaker in each room and you wanted to have
it on in one room but want it off in another room can you
do that?
Yes, make each speaker that you want to control separately a
Master unit. For example, make the speaker in the bedroom
a Master Unit so that it can be controlled separately from the
Master Unit in the kitchen.
What does the 6SL speaker light replace (equivalence)?
65W incandescent equivalence.
