Why Choose the DRSA Pagoda RGBW Retrofit Kit for Your Dock Lighting?

The DRSA Pagoda RGBW Retrofit Kit is designed for easy upgrades, offering 16 million color options, tunable white light (2700K–6500K), and dimming capabilities. It fits most standard pagoda dock light housings with an E26/E27 base, delivering 300 lumens of energy efficient light at just 6W. Plus, the included FUT089 remote controller lets you manage up to 8 zones with a 30m range, making it a top choice for smart dock lighting setups.

Step by Step Guide to Installing the DRSA Pagoda RGBW Retrofit Kit

Follow these steps to transform your dock lighting in under 15 minutes:

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Check Compatibility

  • What You’ll Need: The DRSA Pagoda RGBW Retrofit Kit (includes 6W RGB+CCT Smart LED Bulb and FUT089 remote), a screwdriver (if needed to access your fixture), and your existing pagoda dock light housing.

  • Check Compatibility: Ensure your pagoda dock light fixture has an E26 or E27 base socket. The DRSA kit is designed to fit most standard pagoda dock light housings, so no rewiring is necessary.

Step 2: Turn Off Power for Safety

  • Before starting, turn off the power to your dock lighting circuit at the breaker to avoid any electrical hazards. Double check that the fixture is off by testing with a non contact voltage tester.

Step 3: Remove the Old Bulb

  • Access your pagoda dock light fixture (you may need to unscrew the top or remove a cover, depending on the design).

  • Carefully unscrew the existing bulb from the E26/E27 socket and set it aside.

Step 4: Install the DRSA RGB+CCT Smart LED Bulb

  • Take the 6W RGB+CCT Smart LED Bulb (FUT014) from the retrofit kit.

  • Screw the bulb into the E26/E27 socket of your pagoda dock light fixture. Ensure it’s securely fastened but avoid overtightening.

Step 5: Restore Power and Test the Fixture

  • Turn the power back on at the breaker.

  • The bulb should light up in its default setting (typically a white light). If it doesn’t, double check the bulb’s connection and ensure the fixture is powered.

Step 6: Pair the FUT089 Remote Controller

  • The FUT089 8 Zone RGB+CCT Remote Controller comes pre paired with the bulb, but if you need to pair it manually:

    1. Turn the bulb off for 10 seconds, then turn it back on.

    2. Within 3 seconds of powering on, press the “ON” button for the desired zone (e.g., Zone 1) on the remote three times quickly.

    3. The bulb will flash to confirm successful pairing.

  • Repeat this process for additional bulbs if you’re setting up multiple zones (the remote supports up to 8 zones).

Step 7: Customize Your Dock Lighting

  • Use the FUT089 remote to control your new smart dock lighting:

    • Color Selection: Use the color wheel to choose from 16 million RGB colors for vibrant effects.

    • White Light Adjustment: Switch to white light mode and adjust the temperature (2700K for warm white, 6500K for cool white) to suit your needs.

    • Brightness Control: Dim or brighten the light using the brightness slider for the perfect ambiance.

    • Zone Control: Manage up to 8 independent zones, ideal for larger docks or multi fixture setups.

Tips for Using Your Smart Dock Lighting

  • Set the Mood: Create a serene vibe with cool blue tones or a festive atmosphere with red and green hues for holidays.

  • Maximize Range: The FUT089 remote works up to 30 meters, so you can control your dock lighting from your boat or patio.

  • Save Settings: Once you’ve found the perfect color or brightness, the bulb retains your last setting when turned off and on again.

Troubleshooting Tips for Your DRSA Retrofit Kit

  • Bulb Doesn’t Turn On: Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the socket and the power is on. Check if your fixture’s voltage (AC 100 240V) matches the bulb’s requirements.

  • Remote Not Responding: Verify the remote has batteries and is within the 30m range. If pairing fails, repeat the pairing process outlined in Step 6.

  • Flickering Lights: This may indicate a loose connection turn off the power and ensure the bulb is properly seated in the socket.
