Product Features

  • Dusk to Dawn Sensor: Built-in photocell sensor automatically detects ambient light, turning the bulb on when it gets dark (below 15 Lux) and off when it gets light (above 30 Lux).
  • Energy Efficient: 9-watt LED bulb provides 800-900 lumens of warm white light, equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent bulb, reducing energy consumption by up to 85%.
  • Easy Installation: Standard E26 base for simple screw-in installation, requiring no additional hardware or timers.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including porches, patios, garages, and boundary lighting.
  • Non-Dimmable: These bulbs are not designed for use with dimmer switches.

Setup and Installation

  1. Power Off: Before installation, ensure the power to the light fixture is turned off at the switch and, if possible, at the circuit breaker.
  2. Screw In: Carefully screw the Boxlood Dusk to Dawn LED bulb into a standard E26 base socket. Do not overtighten.
  3. Power On: Turn the power back on. Leave the light switch in the "ON" position for the bulb's automatic sensor to function correctly.
  4. Placement: For optimal performance, ensure the bulb's sensor is not obstructed and receives adequate ambient light during the day and darkness at night. Avoid placing two sensor bulbs too close together (less than 1.5 meters) to prevent interference.

Operating Instructions

The Boxlood Dusk to Dawn LED Light Bulb operates automatically based on ambient light levels.

  • During daylight hours, the bulb will remain off.
  • As dusk approaches and ambient light falls below approximately 15 Lux, the bulb will automatically turn on.
  • In the morning, as dawn breaks and ambient light rises above approximately 30 Lux, the bulb will automatically turn off.

Ensure the light fixture's switch remains in the "ON" position for continuous automatic operation. No manual intervention or external timers are required.

Maintenance

These LED bulbs require minimal maintenance.

  • Cleaning: Ensure the power is off before cleaning. Gently wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
  • Inspection: Periodically check the bulb and fixture for any signs of damage or loose connections.
  • Storage: If storing bulbs, keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place.

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the bulb, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage or injury.
