5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Automatic Operation

The Mr Beams MB3000-WHT-02 floodlight operates automatically. It will activate only when motion is detected in a dark environment. The integrated motion sensor has a detection range of up to 30 feet and a 120° angle of detection.

• When motion is detected, the dual LED heads will illuminate.
• The light will remain on for 20 seconds after motion ceases. If motion is continuously detected, the light will stay on until motion stops, then turn off after 20 seconds.
• The light will not activate in bright conditions to conserve battery life.

5.2 Adjusting Light Heads

The two LED light heads are independently adjustable, allowing you to customize the light coverage for your specific area.

• Each head can pivot 180 degrees up and down.
• Each head can pivot 135 degrees side to side.
• Gently adjust the heads by hand to direct the light beams as desired.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Replacement

The estimated battery life is approximately 1 year with an average use of 8 activations per day. When the light output diminishes or the unit stops activating, it is time to replace the batteries.

1. Remove the floodlight unit from its mounting plate.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Remove the old D-cell batteries and dispose of them responsibly.
4. Insert 4 new D-cell batteries, observing correct polarity.
5. Securely close the battery compartment cover and reattach the unit to the mounting plate.

6.2 Cleaning

Periodically clean the lens and motion sensor cover with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal light output and motion detection performance. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

7. Troubleshooting

• Light not turning on:
  • Check if batteries are installed correctly and are fresh. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the environment is dark enough for the light to activate. The light will not turn on in bright conditions.
  • Verify that the motion sensor is not obstructed by dirt, debris, or objects.
  • Test the motion sensor by walking within its detection range.
• Light not turning off:
  • Ensure there is no continuous motion within the sensor's detection range.
  • Check the motion sensor for any debris or spiderwebs that might be causing false triggers.
• Dim light output:
  • Replace the batteries with a fresh set of 4 D-cell batteries.
  • Clean the LED lenses to remove any accumulated dirt or grime.
