Installation Guide
Follow these steps for safe and correct installation. Remember to consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any part of the process.
- Preparation: Before starting, ensure the main power supply to the installation area is switched off at the fuse box or circuit breaker.
- Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable outdoor wall location. Consider the motion sensor's detection range and ensure the surface is stable and can support the fixture's weight.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the fixture's mounting plate against the wall at the desired height and mark the positions for drilling holes.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked points. Insert appropriate wall plugs (not always included, depending on wall material) if required for secure mounting.
- Wiring Connections: Connect the electrical wires from your mains supply to the corresponding terminals on the fixture. Typically, this involves Live (L), Neutral (N), and Earth (#). Ensure all connections are secure and correctly insulated.
- Mount the Fixture: Secure the fixture's mounting plate to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Insert Bulb: Carefully screw an E27 bulb (maximum 60W, not included) into the lamp holder.
- Final Assembly: Attach the plastic shade and any decorative elements to the fixture, ensuring they are securely fastened.
- Test: Restore power at the fuse box and test the light fixture.

Operating Instructions
Your HOFSTEIN Lentua wall light features an integrated motion sensor for automatic operation.
- Motion Sensor Function: The light will automatically switch on when movement is detected within its adjustable range. After a set period without further motion, the light will switch off.
- Adjusting Sensor Settings: The motion sensor typically has adjustment dials for:
- TIME: Controls how long the light remains on after motion detection (e.g., from 10 seconds to several minutes).
- LUX: Determines the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active. Set it to activate only at dusk/night, or for 24/7 operation.
- SENS: Adjusts the detection range and sensitivity to movement.
- Bulb Replacement:
- Switch off the power supply at the main circuit breaker.
- Carefully remove the plastic shade.
- Unscrew the old E27 bulb.
- Screw in a new E27 bulb (maximum 60W).
- Reattach the shade securely.
- Restore power to the fixture.
