3. Installation and Setup
This section outlines the steps for mounting and connecting your spot light.
3.1 Mounting the Fixture
- Choose a suitable wall-mounting location that provides the desired illumination area and motion detection coverage.
- Detach the rear mounting plate from the main unit by unscrewing the two screws.
- Secure the rear mounting plate to the wall using the provided screws and wall plugs. Ensure it is firmly affixed.
- Once wiring is complete (see 3.2), reattach the main light unit to the mounting plate and secure it with the screws.
3.2 Wiring Instructions
WARNING: Ensure power is OFF at the main circuit breaker before proceeding with wiring.
- Connect the electrical cable from your power supply (240 Volts) to the terminal block inside the fixture.
- Ensure correct polarity: Live (L), Neutral (N), and Earth (E) wires are connected to their corresponding terminals. Refer to local wiring diagrams if unsure.
- Secure all connections tightly and ensure no bare wires are exposed.
3.3 Bulb Installation (if not pre-installed)
The fixture uses a 500W halogen bulb.
- Remove the screw located at the top of the light fixture and swing the fixture cover open.
- Using gloves or a clean cloth, insert one end of the bulb into the spring-loaded socket.
- Gently compress the spring-loaded socket and insert the other end of the bulb into the fixed socket. Ensure the bulb is seated correctly.
- Swing the cover back into its original position and secure it using the screw.

4. Operation
Your Kingavon spot light features a Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor to automatically activate the light when movement is detected.
4.1 Adjusting the PIR Sensor
The PIR sensor has three adjustable controls, typically located on the underside or side of the sensor unit:
- LUX (Light Sensitivity): This control determines the ambient light level at which the sensor will activate the light. Turn towards the 'sun' symbol for activation during daylight and darkness, or towards the 'moon' symbol for activation only in low light/darkness.
- TIME (Duration): This control sets how long the light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed. Adjust from a few seconds to several minutes.
- RANGE (Detection Distance): This control adjusts the sensitivity of the motion sensor, affecting the maximum distance at which it will detect movement.
Adjust these controls carefully to suit your specific needs and environment. Test the settings after each adjustment.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your spot light.
5.1 Cleaning
- Ensure the power is disconnected before cleaning.
- Wipe the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Gently clean the PIR sensor lens to ensure unobstructed detection.
5.2 Bulb Replacement
Refer to section 3.3 for detailed bulb installation steps. Always ensure the fixture is cool and power is disconnected before replacing the bulb.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your spot light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply, faulty bulb, incorrect sensor settings. | Check power connection and circuit breaker. Replace bulb if necessary (ensure power is off). Adjust LUX setting to activate in current light conditions. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Continuous motion detected, sensor fault, TIME setting too long. | Check for constant movement in the detection zone. Adjust TIME setting. If problem persists, consult a qualified electrician. |
| Light activates without apparent motion. | Sensor too sensitive, environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, animals). | Adjust RANGE setting to reduce sensitivity. Reposition the sensor to avoid false triggers. |
| Sensor works but lamp does not light. | Faulty bulb, loose wiring connection. | Replace the bulb (ensure power is off). Check wiring connections (consult a qualified electrician). |
