SAFETY INFORMATION
PREPARATION
Installation Steps
Important to know
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. This fixture requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source.
2. For general safety and to avoid any possible damage to the sensor, be sure the power is switched "off" before
adjustment.
3. Motion sensor: turns light ON automatically when motion is detected and turns light OFF automatically when motion
stops.
4. Photocell keeps the light OFF during daylight hours.
5. Compatible with LED dimmable bulb.
6. Use the dim-to-bright illumination option where you want some minimum illumination through out the night, such as
at your front entrance or garage door. Use the dark-to-bright illumination option where you do not need minimum
brightness, such as the backyard or back porch.
• All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes, ordinances or the national electric code (NEC).
Contact your municipal building department to learn about your local codes, permits and/or inspections.
• Risk of fire – most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated for 140°F/60ºC. Consult a qualified electrician
before installation
• Do not connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment grounding. Never use
a fixture in a two-wire system that is not grounded. If you are not sure your lighting system has a grounding means, do
not attempt to install this fixture. Contact a qualified, licensed electrician for information with regards to proper
grounding methods as required by the local electrical code in your area.
• Only general ON/OFF wall switch applies for this fixture, the dimmable wall switch shouldn’t be required.
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.
WARNING
•
Turn off electricity at main fuse box (or circuit breaker box) before beginning installation by removing fuse (or switching
off circuit breaker).
• Be careful not to damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during fixture installation. Do not permit wires to contact
any surface having a sharp edge. To do so may damage or cut the wire insulation, which could cause serious injury
or death from electric shock.
CAUTION
Maximum Wattage: 60W
Work Temperature: - 4°F~104°F
1. Thread two headless screws(CC)
through the mounting plate(AA),
and then secure them with four
lock nuts(DD) (two on each side of
the mounting plate(AA)). Adjust the
length of the headless screws(CC)
if necessary.
Note: Make sure that the
headless screws are lined up
horizontally to make the fixture level.
Attach mounting plate(AA) to the outlet box using two
mounting screws(BB).

2. Pull out the source wires from the
outlet box. Make wire connections
using wire connectors (FF) as
follows:
• Connect the hot wire (usually
black insulation) from the fixture
to the black wire from the power source.
• Connect the neutral wire (usually white insulation)
from the fixture to the white wire from the power
source.
• Attach the fixture grounding wire (usually green
insulation or bare wire) to the mounting plate (AA) with
the green grounding screw (EE), and then connect it to
the house grounding wire with the wire connector (FF).
Carefully put all of the wires back into the outlet box.

3. Auto MODE(nighttime operation only)
• At dusk, the light will turn to low-level brightness (0~50%). The light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness)
when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. When the motion stops, the light will remain
on for the predetermined time set (5 ~ 180 seconds), and then revert to low-level brightness you set.
• The light will turn off automatically at dawn.
4. PC MODE(nighttime operation only)
• The light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) at dusk. It will turn off at dawn.
5. Manual Override MODE (nighttime operation only)
• To shift to the manual override mode, set the switch to “Off” or “Auto”
mode. Turn the wall switch “OFF” and then turn it “ON” within 3
seconds. The light will remain on all night long. To shift back to the
“Off” or “Auto” mode, turn the wall switch “OFF” and then turn it “ON”
within 3 seconds again.(See Fig.4)
• The light will last only for one night and turn off automatically at dawn.
Note: 1.You can adjust the low level brightness (0~50%) by rotating
“Low Level” knob at the back of sensor lens.(See Fig.5)
2.To make sure the above functions operate properly, always
keep the wall switch in the “ON” position (including the daytime).
3. Please notice the warm up time is 100 seconds, any operations are invalid during this time.
Customization Options
Shut-off Delay
The Shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at high-level
brightness after motion has ceased to be detected. This Shut-off delay
can be set when operation is in “Off”, or “Auto” mode by using the
“Time” knob located on the left side of the panel at the back of sensor
head (See Fig.5) . To increase the shut-off delay, turn the knob
clockwise. To decrease shut off delay, turn the knob counterclockwise.
The delay may be adjusted from a minimum of 5 seconds to a maximum
of 3 minutes. The light will stay on as long as motion is detected
continuously and will automatically turn to low-level brightness when no
more motion is detected after the delay time has passed.
Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted by using the “Sens” knob located on the right side of the panel at
the back of sensor lens (See Fig.5). To increase sensitivity, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease sensitivity, turn the
knob counterclockwise. The sensitivity may be adjusted from a minimum of 5 feet to a maximum of 40 feet.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION
Choose a mode by sliding the switch at the back of sensor lens. When power is first applied, the light will turn on
immediately. Wait for 100 seconds to allow the sensor to warm up.
1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation)
• The light will turn to low-level brightness (0~50%).The light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) when
motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. The light will revert to low-level brightness you set
about 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.
2. Off MODE (nighttime operation only)
• At dusk, the light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as
the motion continues. When the motion stops, the light will remain on for the predetermined time set
(5 ~ 180 seconds), then the light will turn off automatically.

NOTE:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the
environmental temperature gets cooler. For best performance,
gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to
assure maximum sensitivity.
2. For best performance, install fixture at least 6 feet above
the ground. At such a height, the fixture will provide a
detection distance of up to 40 feet at 77 degrees
Fahrenheit. (See Fig.6)
3.The sensor detects across a detection range of 180 degrees.
(See Fig.7)
4. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its
detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
5. To reduce possible nuisances, do not mount the fixture
near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace
exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflecting object or
other light source.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
● To clean, turn off and wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING
