5. Operating Instructions

The Philips MyGarden Samondra LED Outdoor Wall Light operates automatically via its integrated motion sensor.

5.1. Motion Sensor Functionality

• The light will automatically turn on when motion is detected within its sensing range, provided the ambient light level is below a certain threshold.
• After a set duration without further motion, the light will turn off.

5.2. Adjusting Sensor Settings

The motion sensor typically has adjustable settings for detection sensitivity and illumination duration. These controls are usually located on the sensor unit itself. Refer to the specific markings on your product for adjustment details.

• Sensitivity: Adjusts how easily the sensor detects motion. Higher sensitivity means it will detect smaller movements or movements at a greater distance.
• Time Duration: Sets how long the light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed.
• Lux/Daylight Sensor: Some sensors also have a setting to determine at what ambient light level the motion sensor becomes active (e.g., only at dusk/night).

6. Maintenance

The Philips MyGarden Samondra LED Outdoor Wall Light requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure the power is off. Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or electrical components.
• LED Light Source: The LED light source is integrated and not replaceable. The fixture is designed for a long operational life of approximately 25,000 hours.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Philips MyGarden Samondra LED Outdoor Wall Light, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Light does not turn on:
  • Check if the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is on.
  • Verify that the motion sensor settings (sensitivity, daylight sensor) are correctly configured. The ambient light might be too bright for the sensor to activate.
  • Ensure there is actual motion within the sensor's detection range.
• Light stays on continuously:
  • Check the motion sensor's time duration setting; it might be set to a very long period.
  • Ensure there is no continuous motion within the sensor's range (e.g., moving branches, pets).
  • The daylight sensor might be faulty or set incorrectly, causing it to remain active during daylight hours.
• Light flickers:
  • Check all electrical connections for tightness. Loose connections can cause flickering.
  • Ensure the voltage supply is stable and within the specified range.
• Motion sensor not detecting:
  • Adjust the sensor's sensitivity setting to a higher level.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's field of view.
  • Clean the sensor lens if it is dirty.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
