Setup

1. Battery Installation

The Sensor Brite Outdoor LED Light requires AAA batteries (not included) for operation. Follow these steps to install them:

  1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the light unit.
  2. Carefully open the battery compartment cover. You may need a small screwdriver for this.
  3. Insert the required number of AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  4. Securely close the battery compartment cover to ensure weather resistance.

2. Mounting Options

The Sensor Brite Outdoor LED Light offers two primary mounting methods:

A. Ground Stake Installation
  1. Attach the light unit to a ground stake. If additional height is desired, use the included extenders between the light unit and the stake.
  2. Select a location in soft ground where the light can be easily inserted.
  3. Push the ground stake firmly into the soil until it is stable.

B. Peel and Stick Installation
  1. Clean the desired mounting surface thoroughly to ensure it is dry and free of dust or debris.
  2. Peel the protective backing from the adhesive tape located on the base of the light unit.
  3. Press the light unit firmly onto the prepared surface for at least 30 seconds.
  4. Allow the adhesive to set for a few hours before exposing it to harsh conditions.

Operating Instructions

The Sensor Brite Outdoor LED Light is designed for automatic, hands-free operation.

  • Motion Activation: The light features a built-in motion sensor that detects movement up to 15 feet away.
  • Darkness Sensor: The light will only activate when it detects both motion and dark ambient conditions. It will not turn on during daylight hours.
  • Automatic On/Off: Once activated by motion in the dark, the light will illuminate. If no further motion is detected for approximately 30 seconds, the light will automatically turn off to conserve battery life.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance and appearance, clean the light unit periodically:

  • Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or electronic components.
  • Ensure the motion sensor lens is clear of dirt and obstructions for accurate detection.

Battery Replacement

When the light output diminishes or the unit stops activating, it is time to replace the batteries:

  1. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the Setup section.
  2. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new, fresh batteries of the same type.
  3. Ensure the battery compartment is sealed tightly after replacement to maintain its weather-resistant properties.
