Operating Instructions
The MEIKEE security light offers multiple modes and adjustable settings for optimal performance.
Sensor Modes:
- Day Mode: The light will activate upon motion detection during both daytime and nighttime. This mode ensures 24-hour security.
- Night Mode: The light will only activate upon motion detection during nighttime or in low-light conditions. This conserves energy during the day.
Illumination Time Setting:
You can set how long the light stays on after motion is detected. The available settings are 5 seconds, 45 seconds, 120 seconds, and 600 seconds. Use the control panel on the sensor to select your desired duration.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your MEIKEE LED Security Light, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe the light fixture and motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.
- Inspect for Damage: Annually inspect the light for any signs of physical damage, loose wiring, or corrosion. If any damage is found, consult a qualified electrician for repair or replacement.
- Clear Obstructions: Ensure that no plants, branches, or other objects are obstructing the motion sensor's field of view, as this can affect its detection capabilities.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MEIKEE LED Security Light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, incorrect wiring, sensor obstructed, or sensor setting. | Check power supply and circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Ensure sensor is not obstructed. Adjust sensor mode (e.g., switch from Night Mode to Day Mode for testing). |
| Light stays on continuously. | Continuous motion detected, incorrect time setting, or sensor malfunction. | Ensure no constant motion in the detection zone. Adjust illumination time setting to a shorter duration. If the issue persists, the sensor may be faulty. |
| Light flickers or dims. | Unstable power supply, loose connection, or extreme temperature. | Check electrical connections for tightness. Ensure stable power. If flickering persists, consult an electrician. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Incorrect sensor angle, obstruction, or sensitivity setting. | Adjust the sensor head to cover the desired area. Remove any obstructions. Ensure the sensor is clean. |
