6. Operating Instructions

The DAKASON LED Wall Pack features a built-in photocell sensor for automatic operation.

  • Automatic Dusk-to-Dawn: Once installed and power is restored, the photocell sensor will detect ambient light levels. The fixture will automatically turn ON when it gets dark (dusk) and turn OFF when it gets light (dawn).
  • No Manual Control Needed: This feature eliminates the need for manual switching or external timers, providing convenient and energy-efficient lighting.
  • Photocell Placement: Ensure the photocell sensor is not obstructed by objects or exposed to direct artificial light sources (e.g., other floodlights) at night, as this may interfere with its proper operation.
