Safety Information
- WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before installation.
- Do not use with dimmers. This bulb is non-dimmable.
- Suitable for wet locations.
- Ensure the fixture is rated for the bulb's wattage and size.
- Do not disassemble the bulb.
- This device is not intended for use with emergency exits.
Setup and Installation
- Power Off: Before replacing an existing bulb or installing a new one, ensure the power to the light fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker or wall switch.
- Remove Old Bulb: Carefully unscrew the old bulb from the fixture.
- Install New Bulb: Screw the Greenlite LED PAR38 Motion Sensor Flood Light Bulb into the E26 medium base socket. Ensure it is securely tightened but do not overtighten.
- Power On: Restore power to the fixture. The bulb will illuminate briefly as it initializes.
Important Note: The motion sensor requires a brief warm-up period after power is applied. During this time, the bulb may remain on continuously before the motion sensing function becomes active. This can take up to an hour in some cases, as noted by user experiences.

Operating Instructions
This Greenlite LED PAR38 bulb features an integrated motion sensor. It is designed to automatically turn on when motion is detected within its sensing range and turn off after a period of no motion. The bulb operates based on ambient light levels, typically activating only in low-light conditions (e.g., dusk to dawn) when motion is present.
- Automatic Operation: Once installed and powered, the bulb will automatically detect motion and ambient light.
- Motion Detection: The sensor detects movement within its field of view. Factors like distance, object size, and movement speed can affect detection.
- Auto Shut-off: After motion ceases, the bulb will remain lit for a set period (typically a few minutes, non-adjustable) before turning off.
- Light Sensitivity: The bulb is designed to operate in dark conditions. It will generally not activate during daylight hours, even if motion is detected.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is cool and power is off before cleaning. Wipe the bulb and sensor lens gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Inspection: Periodically check the bulb and fixture for any signs of damage or loose connections.
- No User Serviceable Parts: The bulb contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open or repair it.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb does not turn on. | No power; Bulb not screwed in properly; Sensor blocked; Ambient light too high. | Check power supply and circuit breaker. Ensure bulb is securely tightened. Clear any obstructions from the sensor. Test in darker conditions. |
| Bulb stays on continuously. | Initial warm-up period; Constant motion detected; Sensor malfunction; Ambient light too low (sensor thinks it's always dark). | Allow up to an hour for initial warm-up. Ensure no continuous motion is in the sensor's field. Check for external light sources interfering with the sensor. If problem persists, bulb may be faulty. |
| Bulb turns on/off erratically. | Interference from moving objects (trees, traffic); Sensor sensitivity issues. | Adjust fixture angle if possible to minimize unwanted triggers. Ensure sensor is clean. |
| Light is too dim or too bright. | Incorrect bulb for application; Not designed for dimming. | This bulb is non-dimmable. Ensure it meets your brightness requirements (1050 lumens). |
