5. Setup
5.1. Battery Installation
- Gently twist the back cover of the lamp counter-clockwise to open the battery compartment.
- Insert 3 new AAA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the back cover by aligning it and twisting clockwise until securely closed.
5.2. Mounting the Lamp
The lamp can be mounted using the magnetic base, which offers two installation methods:
Method 1: Adhesive Mounting
- Clean the desired mounting surface thoroughly to ensure it is free of dust and grease.
- Peel off the protective film from one side of the double-sided adhesive pad and attach it firmly to the back of the magnetic base.
- Peel off the protective film from the other side of the adhesive pad and press the magnetic base firmly onto the cleaned mounting surface for at least 30 seconds.
- Attach the LED lamp to the magnetic base. The lamp will securely hold due to the magnetic attraction.
Method 2: Screw Mounting
- Mark the desired mounting location.
- Drill two small holes at the marked positions, suitable for the included wall plugs.
- Insert the wall plugs into the drilled holes.
- Align the magnetic base with the holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws.
- Attach the LED lamp to the magnetic base.

6. Operating Instructions
The Maclean MCE223 lamp features two slide switches on its side for controlling the light source and operating mode.

Figure 5: A detailed view of the side of the Maclean MCE223 LED lamp, highlighting the two slide switches: one for light source selection (FRONT/BACK) and another for operating mode (AUTO/OFF/ON).
6.1. Light Source Selection Switch (FRONT/BACK)
- FRONT: Activates the 5 SMD LEDs on the front of the lamp, providing direct illumination.
- BACK: Activates the 6 SMD LEDs on the back of the lamp, providing a softer backlight.
6.2. Operating Mode Switch (AUTO/OFF/ON)
- OFF: The lamp is completely turned off.
- ON: The lamp remains continuously on, regardless of motion or ambient light conditions.
- AUTO: In this mode, the lamp will automatically turn on when motion is detected in low-light conditions (dusk sensor activated). It will turn off after approximately 30 seconds of no motion.

7. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and appearance of your Maclean MCE223 LED lamp:
- Clean the lamp regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the motion sensor lens is kept clean and unobstructed for accurate detection.
- Replace all 3 AAA batteries when the light output diminishes or the lamp stops functioning.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your lamp, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Lamp does not turn on:
- Check if batteries are inserted correctly with proper polarity.
- Replace old or depleted batteries with new AAA alkaline batteries.
- Ensure the operating mode switch is not set to 'OFF'.
- Lamp does not turn on in AUTO mode:
- Verify that the ambient light is sufficiently dark for the dusk sensor to activate.
- Ensure there is actual motion within the detection range of the PIR sensor.
- Check for any obstructions blocking the motion sensor.
- Lamp stays on continuously in AUTO mode:
- Ensure there is no continuous motion within the sensor's detection range.
- Check if the lamp is placed in an area with constant air currents or heat sources that might trigger the sensor.
- Light output is dim:
- Batteries may be low. Replace all batteries with new ones.
