Operating Instructions
Motion Sensor Operation:
The flood light features a 180-degree motion activated sensor with a range of up to 40 feet. The integrated photocell ensures that the light only operates during nighttime hours for efficient energy usage.
Adjusting Settings:
The motion sensor sensitivity and duration settings are typically located on the bottom or side of the sensor unit. Use a small screwdriver to adjust these dials:
- Sensitivity (SENS): Adjusts the detection range of the motion sensor. Turn clockwise for a wider range, counter-clockwise for a shorter range.
- Time (TIME): Sets how long the light remains on after motion is detected. Turn clockwise for a longer duration, counter-clockwise for a shorter duration.
- Lux (LUX): Controls the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active. Turn towards the sun icon for daylight operation (for testing), or towards the moon icon for night-only operation. For normal operation, set to the moon icon.
Manual Override Option:
This fixture includes a manual override feature, allowing the light to operate constantly for a 6-hour period. To activate the manual override, quickly turn the light switch OFF then ON within 2 seconds. The light will stay on for approximately 6 hours, then automatically revert to motion sensor mode. To reset to motion sensor mode before 6 hours, turn the light switch OFF then ON again.
Maintenance
The Defiant LED Flood Light requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or electrical components.
- Bulb Replacement: The integrated LED technology means there are no bulbs to replace. Do not attempt to open the lamp heads.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose wiring, or wear. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
