3. Setup
The BLS T401 offers flexible installation options to suit various surfaces.
Installation Methods:
- Magnetic Attachment: The light has built-in strong magnets. It can be directly attached to any iron surface without additional mounting hardware.
- Adhesive Tape: For non-magnetic surfaces, use the included 3M adhesive tape. Clean the desired surface thoroughly, peel off the protective film from the adhesive pads, attach them to the metal mounting brackets, and then firmly press the brackets onto the surface. Once the brackets are secure, the light can be magnetically attached to them.
- Screw Mounting: For a more permanent installation, use the included screws. Mark the positions for the screws through the holes on the metal mounting brackets. Drill pilot holes if necessary, then secure the brackets with screws. Finally, attach the light magnetically to the installed brackets.

4. Operating Instructions
The BLS T401 features a sliding switch with three modes: OFF, ON, and AUTO.
Mode Selection:
- OFF: The light remains off regardless of motion or ambient light.
- ON: The light stays continuously on.
- AUTO: In this mode, the motion sensor activates the light. The light will turn on when it senses motion in both dark and low-light environments. It stays on as long as motion is detected nearby and automatically turns off 18 seconds after motion ceases. A built-in light sensor ensures the light stays off when the ambient environment is bright to conserve battery.
Motion Sensor Adjustment:
The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted by rotating the light on its magnetic base. Adjust the angle to achieve optimal lighting and motion detection for your specific environment.

5. Charging
The BLS T401 is equipped with a 4500mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Charging Process:
- Locate the USB-C charging port on one end of the light.
- Connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the light and to a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port).
- The charging indicator light will illuminate to show the charging status. Refer to the indicator light guide for specific details (usually red for charging, green for fully charged).
- A full charge can last up to 180 days in AUTO mode, based on 10 activations per day, 20 seconds each time.

6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your BLS T401 LED Motion Sensor Closet Light, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the light's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or electronic components.
- Battery Care: For best battery life, avoid completely draining the battery frequently. Recharge the light when the brightness noticeably diminishes.
- Storage: If storing the light for an extended period, charge it fully and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge every 3-6 months to maintain battery health.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BLS T401, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on in AUTO mode. | Insufficient ambient light (too bright), no motion detected, or low battery. | Ensure the environment is dark enough for AUTO mode. Check for motion within the sensor's range. Recharge the battery. |
| Light turns off too quickly or stays on too long. | Motion sensor sensitivity or placement. | Adjust the angle of the light on its magnetic base to optimize sensor detection. Ensure no constant motion is within range if it stays on too long. |
| Light is dim or flickers. | Low battery. | Recharge the battery fully. |
| Light does not charge. | Faulty charging cable or power source. | Try a different USB-C cable and/or a different USB power source. |
