Operating Instructions
Motion Activation
The MB3000 floodlight is designed to activate automatically when motion is detected in low light conditions. It will remain on as long as motion is present within its detection range and will turn off 20 seconds after motion ceases.
- The motion sensor has a detection range of up to 30 feet and a 120° angle.
- The light will only activate in dark or very low light conditions to conserve battery life.

- Each head can pivot 180 degrees up and down.
- Each head can pivot 135 degrees side to side.
