Setup and Installation
It is recommended that this product is installed by a qualified electrician. Follow these general steps for installation:
- Preparation: Switch off the electricity at the main fuse board. Choose a suitable mounting location, ensuring the surface can support the weight of the fixture and that there is adequate wiring access.
- Mounting: Mark the drilling points on the wall using the fixture's base as a template. Drill holes and insert wall plugs. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
- Wiring: Connect the mains supply wires to the terminal block inside the fixture. Ensure correct polarity (Live, Neutral, Earth). All connections must be tight and secure.
- Fixture Attachment: Attach the light fixture to the mounting bracket, ensuring all wires are safely tucked away and not pinched.
- Bulb Installation: Insert an E27 bulb (max 60W) into the lamp holder.
- PIR Sensor Adjustment: The PIR sensor detects movement. It typically has adjustments for:
- LUX (Light Sensitivity): Determines the ambient light level at which the sensor will activate the light. Adjust towards '+' for activation in brighter conditions, or '-' for activation only in darker conditions.
- TIME (Duration): Sets how long the light remains on after motion is detected.
- SENS (Sensitivity): Adjusts the detection range of the sensor.
- Final Check: Restore power and test the light fixture and PIR sensor functionality.

Operating Instructions
The Bianco PIR Outdoor Wall Light is designed for automatic operation based on motion detection and ambient light levels.
- Once installed and powered, the PIR sensor will monitor the detection area.
- When motion is detected within the sensor's range and the ambient light level is below the set LUX threshold, the light will switch on.
- The light will remain on for the duration set by the TIME adjustment.
- After the set time, if no further motion is detected, the light will switch off.
- If continuous motion is detected, the light will remain on until motion ceases and the timer expires.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your light fixture.
- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, switch off the power supply. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as these may damage the finish.
- Bulb Replacement:
- Switch off the electricity supply at the main fuse board.
- Allow the old bulb to cool completely before touching.
- Carefully unscrew the old E27 bulb.
- Screw in a new E27 bulb, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum wattage of 60W.
- Restore power and test.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of damage to the wiring or fixture. If damage is found, consult a qualified electrician.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply. Faulty bulb. PIR sensor settings incorrect. | Check fuse/circuit breaker. Replace bulb. Adjust LUX and SENS settings. |
| Light stays on continuously. | PIR sensor detecting constant motion. PIR sensor set to override mode (if applicable). LUX setting too high. | Check for obstructions or constant movement in detection zone. Refer to specific sensor instructions for override mode. Adjust LUX setting to a lower sensitivity. |
| Light turns on too frequently/randomly. | PIR sensor too sensitive. Environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, heat sources). | Adjust SENS setting to a lower sensitivity. Reposition the fixture or clear obstructions. |
