1. Read all instructions carefully before installation and
operation.
2. If you are not familiar with state and local electrical codes,
it is recommended that you consult with a qualified
electrician.
3. Before installation, shut off power at the main fuse or
circuit breaker box. Be aware that simply turning off the
wall switch is not sufficient to prevent an electrical shock.
4. This fixture requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz power source.
5. Do not attempt to take the lantern apart; there are no
serviceable parts inside.
6. To avoid sensor damage by lightning or electrical surge,
make sure the ground wire is securely connected.
7. For general safety and to avoid any possible damage to
the sensor, be sure the power is switched "off" before
replacing the bulb.
8. Compatible with most LED dimmable bulbs.
Important to Know

Installation steps
Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box.
Turn on the power at fuse or circuit box.
1. Unscrew the two set screws (D), remove the two rubber pads (E) and the mounting plate unit (A) from the backplate.
2. Attach the mounting plate unit (A) to the outlet box by using two mounting screws (B).
Note: Make sure that two set holes are lined up horizontally to make the fixture level
3. Pull out the source wires from the outlet box. Make wire connections using wire connectors (C) as follows:
• Connect the hot wire (black insulation) from the fixture to the black wire from the power source.
• Connect the neutral wire (white insulation) from the fixture to the white wire from the power source.
• Attach the fixture ground wire (bare wire) to the mounting plate unit (A) with the green ground screw, then
connect it to the house ground wire with the wire connector (C).
Carefully put all of the wires back into the outlet box.
4. Attach the backplate of the fixture to the mounting plate unit (A) by aligning holes, secure the two set screws (D)
and two rubber pads (E) from the side hole of the backplate into the hole of the mounting plate unit (A).
Note: With silicone caulk compound, caulk completely around where the backplate meets with the
wall surface to prevent water from seeping into the outlet box.
5. Attach the glass shade to the socket, then secure it with the socket ring.
6. Install a bulb (not included). See relamping label at socket area or packaging for maximum wattage allowed.

Function and Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
Choose a mode by turning the rotary knob. The light will turn on immediately when power is applied. Wait for 30
seconds to allow the sensor to warm up.
1. Test MODE (daytime and nighttime operation)
● The light will turn on when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. The light will turn to
low-level brightness (30%) after 5 seconds when motion is no longer detected.
2. Off MODE (nightime operation only)
● At dusk, the light stays off and 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 stay on for the predetermined time set
(5~180 seconds), then the light will turn off.
3. Auto MODE (nighttime operation only)
● At dusk, the light turns on to low-level brightness (30%). When motion is detected the light will turn to high-level
brightness (full brightness) and stays 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 turns to low-level brightness (30%)
● The light will turn off automatically at dawn.
4. PC MODE (nighttime operation only)
● The light will turn on automatically at dusk and turn off at dawn.

5. Manual Override MODE (nighttime operation only)
● To shift to the manual override mode, set the switch to "Auto" or
"Off" mode. Turn the wall switch "OFF" and "ON" within 3 seconds.
The light will remain on until dawn. To restore to the "Auto" or "Off"
mode, turn the wall switch "OFF" and "ON" within 3 seconds.
(See Fig.4)
● The light will last for one night only and turn off automatically at
dawn.
Note: 1. Always keep the wall switch in the "ON" position
(including daytime).
2. Please notice the warm up time is 30 seconds, any
operations are invalid during this time.
Customization Options
Shut-off Delay
Fig. 5
(View from back of sensor lens)
1. The Shut-off delay is the length of time that the light will stay on
after motion stops.
2. The Shut-off delay can be adjusted by using the "Time" knob when
the knob is set in "Off" or "Auto" mode. (See Fig.5)
3. The range of shut-off delay is 5 seconds to 3 minutes.
4. Rotate the knob clockwise for increasing the shut-off delay.
5. Rotate the knob counterclockwise for decreasing the shut-off delay.

NOTE:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the
environmental temperature gets colder. For best performance,
gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to
ensure maximum sensitivity.
2.
When installed at a height of 6.5 feet, at 77 degrees Fahrenheit,
the light will provide a maximum detection distance of 30 feet
and detection range of 150 degrees. (See Fig.6,Fig.7)
3. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its
detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
4. 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.
Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
1. The sensitivity can be adjusted from 5 to 30 feet by using the
"Sens" knob. (See Fig.5).
2. Turn the knob clockwise for increased sensitivity.
3. Turn the knob counterclockwise for decreased sensitivity.
Where you install your light is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall;
otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.
