2. Safety Information
Always observe basic safety precautions when installing or maintaining electrical products. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or property damage.
- Power Disconnection: Before any installation, maintenance, or bulb replacement, ensure the power supply to the fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker.
- Qualified Electrician: If you are unsure about the installation process, consult a qualified electrician.
- Proper Grounding: Ensure the fixture is properly grounded to prevent electrical shock.
- Bulb Compatibility: This fixture requires two 150-Watt medium base halogen bulbs (not included). It is compatible with PAR38 LED, PAR38 incandescent, and PAR38 halogen bulbs. Do not exceed the maximum wattage.
- Outdoor Use: This product is designed for outdoor, waterproof use. However, ensure all connections are sealed properly to prevent water ingress.
3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for safe and effective installation of your flood light.
- Preparation: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Gather necessary tools (screwdriver, wire strippers, mounting hardware).
- Mounting: Secure the mounting bracket to a suitable outdoor wall surface. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.
- Wiring: Connect the fixture's wires to your household wiring according to local electrical codes. Typically, this involves connecting live, neutral, and ground wires. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
- Fixture Attachment: Attach the flood light fixture to the mounting bracket, ensuring a tight seal to maintain its waterproof rating.
- Bulb Installation: Carefully screw in two compatible PAR38 bulbs into the light heads. Do not overtighten.
- Adjusting Light Heads: The dual light heads are 360° adjustable. Loosen the adjustment screws, position the light heads to cover your desired area, and then tighten the screws securely.

4. Operating Instructions
Your LUTEC flood light features a motion sensor and adjustable settings for optimal performance.
4.1 Motion Sensor Settings
The motion sensor is located at the base of the fixture. It has controls for sensitivity (distance) and illumination time.
Figure 3: Close-up of the motion sensor controls, showing settings for sensitivity (Distance) and illumination time.
- Sensitivity (Distance): Adjust the sensor's detection range.
- L (Low): Up to 20-30 ft.
- M (Medium): Up to 40-50 ft.
- H (High): Up to 60-70 ft.
- Time: Set how long the light remains on after motion is detected.
- TEST: For initial setup and testing.
- 1 MIN: Light stays on for 1 minute.
- 3 MIN: Light stays on for 3 minutes.
- 10 MIN: Light stays on for 10 minutes.
The wide sensing angle of 180 degrees ensures broad coverage.

4.2 Manual Override
The flood light includes a manual override option, allowing it to operate constantly for a selected period, bypassing the motion sensor. Refer to the specific instructions provided with your product for activating and deactivating this feature, as it typically involves a sequence of turning the power switch on/off.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your flood light.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the light heads and motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or sensor.
- Bulb Replacement: When a bulb burns out, turn off the power at the circuit breaker before replacing it. Allow the old bulb to cool completely before handling. Replace with a compatible PAR38 bulb (LED, incandescent, or halogen) of up to 150 Watts.
- Weather Resistance: The fixture is designed to be waterproof, rainproof, snowproof, sunproof, and windproof for durable use. Regularly inspect the fixture for any signs of damage or wear, especially around seals and connections, to maintain its weather resistance.

6. Troubleshooting
If your flood light is not functioning as expected, refer to the common issues and solutions below.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, faulty bulb, incorrect sensor setting. | Check circuit breaker. Replace bulbs. Adjust sensor sensitivity and time settings. |
| Light stays on constantly. | Manual override activated, continuous motion detected, faulty sensor. | Deactivate manual override. Ensure no constant motion in detection area. Contact support if sensor is faulty. |
| Light turns on during the day. | Photo sensor obstructed or faulty. | Ensure photo sensor is not covered. Clean sensor lens. If issue persists, sensor may be faulty. |
| Motion sensor range is too short/long. | Incorrect sensitivity setting. | Adjust the "Distance" setting on the motion sensor (L, M, H). |
