Operating Instructions
The Mr Beams MB360XT spotlight is designed for automatic operation:
- Motion Activation: The spotlight features a motion sensor with a 120° angle of detection and a range of up to 30 feet. It will automatically turn on when motion is detected within this range.
- Light Sensor: The integrated light sensor ensures the spotlight only activates in dark conditions, conserving battery life during daylight hours.
- Auto Shut-Off: Once activated, the light will remain on for approximately 20 seconds after motion ceases. If motion is continuously detected, the light will remain on until motion stops.
- Battery Life: With average use of 8-10 activations per day, you can expect approximately 1 year of light from each set of batteries.

- Weatherproof Design: The MB360XT is IPX6 weatherproof, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets. While designed for outdoor use, avoid submerging the unit in water.
