5. Operating Instructions
The GL 60 S luminaire offers several operational features for customized lighting:
- Motion Detection: The integrated 360° infrared sensor reliably detects movement within a range of up to 12 meters.
- Soft Light Start: Upon detection, the light gradually brightens, providing a gentle and comfortable illumination transition.
- Adjustable Lighting Duration: The illumination time after detection can be set continuously from 5 seconds to 15 minutes.
- Adjustable Twilight Threshold: The sensor's sensitivity to ambient light can be adjusted from 2 to 2000 lux, determining when the motion sensor becomes active.
- Night Light Function: A continuous low-level illumination can be set between 0% and 50% brightness, providing constant ambient light.
- 4-Hour Continuous Light: An optional feature allows the luminaire to stay on continuously for 4 hours, overriding the motion sensor. This is typically activated via a wall switch (not included).

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your luminaire.
- Cleaning: Clean the luminaire regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the stainless steel finish and opal glass.
- Bulb Replacement: The luminaire uses a standard E27 LED bulb. To replace the bulb:
- Disconnect power to the luminaire at the main circuit breaker.
- Carefully remove the opal glass cover.
- Unscrew the old E27 bulb and screw in the new one.
- Reattach the opal glass cover securely.
- Restore power and test.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the luminaire for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. Address any issues promptly.

7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Steinel GL 60 S luminaire, 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, replace bulb, adjust twilight threshold and detection range. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Continuous light function activated, sensor constantly triggered, faulty sensor. | Deactivate 4-hour continuous light, check for constant movement in detection area, adjust sensor sensitivity. |
| Light turns on without apparent reason. | Sensor too sensitive, environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, small animals). | Reduce sensor sensitivity, use sensor covers to mask unwanted detection areas. |
| Detection range is too short/long. | Incorrect sensor range setting. | Adjust the sensor's detection range setting. |
