Operating Instructions

Your Globe Electric Motion Sensor Security Flood Light is equipped with advanced features for optimal outdoor lighting and security.

Motion Detection

The motion sensor provides a 180-degree detection zone with a range of up to 70 feet (21 meters). The light will activate when motion is detected within this zone.

MotionBright™ 2-Level Lighting

When using dimmable bulbs, the MotionBright feature provides constant low ambient lighting at night. When motion is detected, the light automatically switches to full brightness for enhanced security and visibility. After a set duration, it returns to the low ambient setting.

Adjustable Settings

The light features adjustable settings for duration and sensitivity. You can set the light to turn off after 1, 5, or 20 minutes of no detected motion. A built-in photocell ensures the light only operates at night.
