Dusk to Dawn Functionality:
- The built-in photocell sensor on the top of the fixture detects ambient light levels.
- When the surroundings become dark (at dusk), the sensor will automatically turn the light on.
- When the surroundings become bright again (at dawn), the sensor will automatically turn the light off.
- Ensure the sensor is not obstructed by objects or direct artificial light sources (e.g., other bright lights, streetlights) as this may interfere with its proper operation.
