5. Operation

This security light features an integrated motion sensor and LED lighting for automatic illumination.

5.1 Motion Sensor Functionality

• The 180-degree motion sensor detects movement within its field of view, automatically turning on the LED lights.
• The light will remain on for a set duration (adjustable, see Section 6.1) after motion is detected and will turn off once no motion is detected for that period.
• The light operates primarily in darkness, activating only when motion is detected during low-light conditions.

5.2 Adjusting Light Heads

The two LED light heads are adjustable. You can pivot them horizontally and vertically to direct the light to your desired coverage area.

6. Settings and Adjustments

Your security light may feature adjustable settings for optimal performance. Refer to the specific controls on your unit, often located on the underside of the motion sensor.

6.1 Time Adjustment (Duration)

This control sets how long the light remains on after motion is detected and stops. Typically, settings range from a few seconds to several minutes.

6.2 Sensitivity Adjustment (Range)

This control adjusts the detection range of the motion sensor. A higher sensitivity setting will detect motion from further away, while a lower setting will reduce the detection area.

6.3 Dusk-to-Dawn Sensor (Photocell)

The integrated photocell determines when the ambient light is low enough for the motion sensor to become active. This ensures the light only operates at night.

7. Maintenance

The Defiant LED security light is designed for minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
• LEDs: The integrated LED technology means there are no bulbs to replace. The LEDs are designed to last for the lifetime of the product.
• Sensor: Keep the motion sensor lens clean and free from obstructions (e.g., dirt, spiderwebs) to ensure proper operation.
