Operating Instructions
The Steinel RS 16 LED features a high-frequency motion sensor that detects movement across a 360-degree area, even through glass, wood, and light walls. This allows the light to activate automatically before you even enter the room.
Adjusting Settings:
The following settings can be adjusted using a small slotted screwdriver on the control dials located on the luminaire's base (refer to the product diagram for exact location):
- Reach/Range: Adjust the detection range from approximately 3 meters to 8 meters in diameter. This controls how far the sensor detects movement.
- Twilight Setting (Lux): Set the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active. This can be adjusted from 2 lux (dark) to 2000 lux (daylight). The light will only activate when the ambient light falls below this set threshold.
- Lighting Duration: Determine how long the light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is registered.
Networking Feature:
The RS 16 LED supports networking with up to 10 other compatible Steinel indoor luminaires. This feature allows multiple lights to switch on simultaneously when motion is detected by any networked unit, providing seamless illumination for long corridors, large stairwells, or open-plan areas.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Steinel RS 16 LED light, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply, twilight setting too high, sensor range too low. | Check power connection. Adjust twilight setting to a lower lux value. Increase sensor range. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Continuous motion in detection area, lighting duration set too long, faulty sensor. | Ensure no constant motion. Reduce lighting duration. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Light turns on without apparent motion. | Sensor sensitivity too high, environmental factors (e.g., drafts, small animals). | Reduce sensor range/sensitivity. Ensure proper installation away from strong air currents. |
| Light flickers. | Unstable power supply, loose wiring. | Check electrical connections. Consult an electrician if power supply is unstable. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact Steinel customer support.
