Operating Instructions
This John Timberland outdoor wall light features a built-in LED and may include motion sensor and/or dusk-to-dawn capabilities depending on the specific model variant. The primary operation is controlled via a standard wall switch.
- Standard Operation: Flip the connected wall switch to the 'ON' position to illuminate the fixture. Flip to 'OFF' to turn it off.
- Motion Sensor (if applicable): If your fixture includes a motion sensor, it will automatically turn on when motion is detected within its range and detection angle. The light will remain on for a set period (which may be adjustable on some models) and then turn off if no further motion is detected.
- Dusk-to-Dawn (if applicable): If your fixture includes a dusk-to-dawn sensor, it will automatically turn on when ambient light levels fall below a certain threshold (at dusk) and turn off when light levels rise (at dawn). This provides automatic illumination without manual intervention.
