Operating Instructions
Your Defiant floodlight features motion activation and a dusk-to-dawn sensor for automated operation.
Motion Sensor Operation
The 180-degree motion sensor detects movement within a 70 ft. range. When motion is detected, the light will activate. The duration the light stays on can typically be adjusted via a control dial on the sensor (refer to the physical product for exact dial location and settings).

Dusk-to-Dawn Feature
The integral dusk-to-dawn sensor ensures the lights only come on after dark. This feature can be manually activated to turn the light on for 6 hours at dusk. Consult the product's physical controls for activation steps.
Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your floodlight, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or electrical components.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
- Sensor Clarity: Keep the motion sensor lens clean and free from obstructions (e.g., dirt, spiderwebs) to ensure proper detection.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your floodlight, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power; faulty wiring; sensor blocked or misaligned. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Clear sensor lens and adjust sensor direction. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Sensor sensitivity too high; continuous motion detected; dusk-to-dawn mode active. | Adjust sensor sensitivity. Ensure no constant motion in detection zone. Check dusk-to-dawn setting. |
| Light flickers or cycles on/off rapidly. | Loose wiring; power fluctuations; sensor interference. | Check and secure all wiring connections. Ensure stable power supply. Remove any objects causing sensor interference. |
