3. Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:

• Philips myGarden June Outdoor Wall Light fixture
• 1 x E27 Bulb (Compact Fluorescent)
• Mounting hardware (screws, wall plugs)
• L-key for securing screws

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Preparation: Turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker before starting any electrical work.
2. Mounting Location: Choose a suitable outdoor location on a wall, ensuring it is within reach of the electrical wiring. Consider the desired coverage area for the motion sensor.
3. Marking and Drilling: Carefully mark the drilling points for the mounting screws. It is recommended to drill the blanked-out fixing holes on the fixture's plastic base rather than punching them, to prevent cracking or splintering of the material.
4. Wiring: Connect the electrical wires from your power supply to the terminals inside the fixture. Ensure correct polarity (Live, Neutral, Earth) according to local regulations.
5. Securing the Fixture: Attach the fixture to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure enough room at the top for access to the upper fixing screw, as the aluminum surround attaches to the plastic shell, which can make alignment tricky.
6. Bulb Installation: Insert the E27 bulb into the socket. While a compact fluorescent bulb is included, you may consider replacing it with a suitable LED bulb for improved brightness and energy efficiency. Note that some E27 LED bulbs can be large, so verify dimensions to ensure it fits within the fixture's internal space without modification.
7. Final Assembly: Secure the outer casing of the light using the provided Torx/flathead screws and L-key.
8. Power On: Restore power at the circuit breaker.

5. Operating Instructions

The Philips myGarden June wall light features an integrated motion sensor for automatic illumination.

• Motion Sensor: The light will automatically turn on when motion is detected within its range.
• Adjustments: The motion sensor typically has adjustable settings for sensitivity (how easily it detects motion) and duration (how long the light stays on after motion stops). Refer to the specific controls on your fixture, usually small dials located near the sensor, to customize these settings.
• Light Output: The light provides 741 lumens of illumination with a 12W bulb, equivalent to a 65W incandescent bulb.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or plastic components.
• Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is disconnected before replacing the E27 bulb. Allow the old bulb to cool completely before handling. Replace with an E27 bulb of the same type and wattage (max 12W) or a compatible LED equivalent.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the fixture for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.

7. Troubleshooting

• Light does not turn on:
  • Check the power supply at the circuit breaker.
  • Ensure the bulb is correctly installed and not faulty.
  • Verify wiring connections are secure.
• Motion sensor not working:
  • Check the sensitivity settings of the sensor.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's view.
  • Test the sensor in varying light conditions (some sensors have a daylight override).
• Light stays on constantly or turns on randomly:
  • Adjust the sensitivity setting to a lower level.
  • Ensure the sensor is not picking up movement from trees, bushes, or passing traffic.
  • Check for insects or debris on the sensor lens.
